Like many toddlers, my daughter loves to play dress up. She has a fantastic imagination & she likes to use it. She will put herself into character & really commit to it. We love to make crafts to encourage her love for role play. We make paper plate masks often & another paper plate favorite of ours is hats. With the fall around the corner, we did a fall-themed scarecrow hat.
Paper Plate Straw Scarecrow Hat
What you will need:
Paper plate
Paper bowl
Paint
Scrap paper
School glue
Hot glue gun (as always use caution when operating a glue gun. It is recommended that adults operate the gun)
Directions:
Cut out the center of a paper plate.
Use the hot glue gun to glue the bowl into the middle of the plate.
Paint the body of your hat & let it dry.
Cut skinny strips of construction paper for your straw. Glue them around your hat on the paper plate.
Rip off a couple of pieces of construction paper to make patches for your hat. Draw in simple designs like checks or polka dots.
Glue the patches onto the bowl. Let the glue dry.
When it is dry, it is ready for your head or even your stuffed Teddy’s head.

Totally adorable and couldn’t help, but be reminded of the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz with this one 🙂
Thanks! She did a great job on this. Mommy barely needed to help at all. She woke this morning & put it right on.
