The Scarecrow's Hat - Ken Brown

I'm a little scarecrow

Raggedy and worn

I wear a hat

And a shirt that's torn

When the crows come,

I wave and shout,

"Away from my garden - Get on out!"

The floppy, floppy scarecrow

Guards his fields all day.

He waves his floppy, floppy hands

To scare the crows away!

Stuff a Scarecrow:

Materials

• child sized clothing (jeans, flannel shirt, overalls...)
• hay (enough to stuff clothing full)
• pumpkin for head, or you can use muslin stuffed with hay and tied at bottom 
• small hat
• dowel or stick for attaching head

Procedure

Allow children to stuff child sized clothing with hay.  When it is stuffed full enough to resemble a scarecrow, place dowel through body to hold it together.  Place head on top and then hat.  Now you have made your very own class scarecrow!

Ingredients:

• butterscotch morsels
• pretzels or chow mien noodles

Procedure:

• Heat butterscotch morsels in microwave until melted.
• Pour melted butterscotch over pretzels or chow mien noodles.
• Mixture will harden soon after pouring.

Safety Alert!  Make sure mixture is cool enough for children before they begin eating!
