Nothing says fall like a friendly scarecrow—and now your little builder can make one all on their own! Whether you're decorating for harvest season, setting up a classroom activity, or just looking for a cozy afternoon project, this Scarecrow Build is full of charm, creativity, and hands-on fun.
Why Build a Scarecrow?
This isn't just a pile of blocks—it's a personality! A goofy grin, patchy overalls, and a little crow friend perched on top? It's the kind of character kids will love creating and telling stories about.
Building your own scarecrow helps kids:
🍁 Practice color matching and construction skills
🎨 Add personal flair with face + patch cutouts
🌾 Let their imaginations take the lead with seasonal storytelling
🧱 Scarecrow Body
- 3 Big Brown blocks (for the hair)
- 10 Big Yellow blocks
- 4 Small Yellow blocks
- 4 Big Peach blocks (for the face)
- 7 Big Red blocks (for the shirt)
- 22 Big Blue blocks (for the overalls)
🎃 Pumpkin at His Feet
- 3 Big Orange blocks
- 1 Small Green block
🐦 Crow on Top of His Head
- 2 Big Black blocks
- 1 Small Black block
- 4 Small Yellow blocks
Hot tip for grown-ups: Use putty or hot glue to stick the beak (yellow block) sideways—it gives the crow that extra personality pop!
📎 Don’t forget to print out your Scarecrow Cutouts:
- A cheerful scarecrow face
- Fun patches for the overalls
- A googly eye for the crow
Make It Even More Fun!
- Give your scarecrow a name. (Ours is “Patchy Pete” 💛)
- Build a whole harvest scene—pumpkins, fences, hay bales, maybe a friendly squirrel?
- Challenge siblings or friends to make their own scarecrow characters and put on a fall play!
