Life Sized Scare Crow and Cracker/Cookies

From st scarecrow

It was chilly and damp this morning so we started class inside and sang some songs, made a scarecrow and decorated some “cookies” . We spread lightly sweetened cream cheese, colored orange, on Carr’s whole wheat crackers (my husband’s new favorite snack) then decorated with raisins, prunes, nuts and mint leaves. For the scare crow we filled an old pair of jeans and shirt with crumpled newspaper then safety pinned them together. The head was a fun sewing project in its self. The kids sewed felt pieces for eyes and mouth with a little help from me. Once we finished our inside projects the sun came out and the kids went outside to play and went on a pumpkin finding hike. The kids each found a pumpkin then decorated it with glue, googley eyes, colored pom poms….so cute!

We decided to have lunch inside today. The kids sat at their little table and the parents (some of the parents) enjoyed their lunch and a cup of tea at the dining table. It was a great day!
