Step 1 Download and print Print & Go Rocking Scarecrow Craft. You can choose from the two versions included in the printable - it has a colored and a black and white version.
Step 2 Use a scissor to cut out the scarecrow parts! Follow the outline. Be sure to assist your kids when cutting out small parts.

What will your child learn while making the Rocking Scarecrow?
The Rocking Scarecrow Craft can help your little ones improve their hand muscle strength by cutting, folding, picking up small parts, and gluing them together! How? As their little hands work on this craft, their hand muscles get the “practice” it needs to be stronger to improve dexterity. Of course, working on this single craft will not be able to “instantly” make them good, but with regular practice using our fun and enjoyable printables, they’ll surely learn faster!
