The Scarecrows’ Wedding Crafts for Kids
Oooh we are excited about today’s post!!! There is nothing better that I have loved doing with the kids over the years, is to read a good book and then get crafty… Today, I revisit our favourite little scarecrow craft, so that you can read Julia Donaldson’s The Scarecrows Wedding and then get crafty!
This post shares a NUMBER of cute scarecrow crafts that you could make as part of your “read and craft” session. Though, I do think the Toilet Paper Roll Scarecrows shown in this photo are simply the best!

The Book – Scarecrows Wedding
Created by the fantastic children’s book duo – Julia Donaldson and Alex Scheffler, you will find a fantastic storyline supported by those well know illustrations.
Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay are excellent scarecrows. Their wedding plans are all coming together until Harry leaves Betty’s side and the devilishly smooth Reginald Rake tries to take Harry’s place. Will Harry make it back in time to save their special day?

The Scarecrow Wedding Craft Ideas for Kids
We love Scarecrows. Such a fun craft topic for kids and have three fabulous Scarecrow crafts for you to try:
A super fun Scarecrow Puppet to make with younger kids. Take advantage of our Scarecrow Puppet Printable – you can choose from “colour your own” or “ready coloured” – then cut, assemble and play!
One of my favourite Toilet Paper Roll Crafts of all time – the Scarecrows!! Teaches your kids SIMPLE origami and is also a pretty “low mess” craft, as all you need its Toilet Paper Rolls, paper off cuts and some glue to make these cute Toilet Paper Roll Scarecrows (oh and some funky hair.. but you can make these from paper too).
And look how easy it was to turn our scarecrows from before into Betty!! So cute!
Another big favourite of ours, are these popsicle stick scarecrows! Like with our toilet paper roll scarecrows wedding craft, you can easily adapt the colours to reflect the characters in Julia Donaldson’s book – e.g. make a black hat with blue body.. and a brown hat with the pink dress.
How aboute a Paper Plate Scarecrow? Paper plates always make a great craft material for preschoolers, and you can have lots of fun turning it into a little rocking paper plate scarecrow craft!
And finally, what would a “set of” crafts be without one of our oh so popular Corner Bookmark Designs? Again.. learn how to make a basic corner bookmark (nice and easy!) and then with some simple shapes and snips here and there, you can turn them into these fabulous Scarecrow Bookmark Corners! These are probably better for slightly older kids. Though you could prepare some basic shapes and bookmarks and get your little ones to glue on the details!
What do you think? Aren’t these Scarecrows Wedding themed crafts cute? Will you have a go at making them?
Why not explore all these farmyard fun toilet roll crafts and make yourself a whole cast of Scarecrows Wedding characters?
