What You’ll Need

Gather a few basic craft supplies before printing your scarecrow face template:

• Printable scarecrow face template
• White printer paper or cardstock
• Crayons, colored pencils, markers, or paint
• Child-safe scissors
• Glue
• Paper plates, construction paper, yarn, leaves, or other decorations

Cardstock works well when children plan to cut out and display their finished scarecrow faces. Regular printer paper is perfect for a simple coloring activity.

How to Use the Scarecrow Face Template

1. Choose and Print a Scarecrow Face

There are five printable scarecrow face designs, so children can select the expression and style they like best.

Print one design for a quick individual activity or several designs for a classroom fall craft.

2. Color and Decorate

Invite children to use traditional fall colors or create a bright, imaginative scarecrow.

Add yarn, paper scraps, stickers, buttons, or clean fall leaves to give the face extra color and texture.

3. Cut Out the Template

Carefully cut around the finished scarecrow face.

Younger children may need help with this step, while preschoolers and kindergarteners can use it as supervised cutting practice.

4. Turn It Into a Fall Craft

Glue the face onto a paper plate, construction paper, a craft stick, or a larger scarecrow body.

Children can also use their printable scarecrow faces for bulletin boards, fall cards, classroom displays, garlands, or an emotion-matching activity.
