Scarecrow Welcoming a Little Bird With Arms Wide

A cheerful scarecrow stands with his arms stretched wide, and a little bird with a big curved beak and a tuft of head feathers perches on his right arm. He wears a floppy wide-brimmed hat with a leafy sprig tucked in the band, a knotted neckerchief, and overalls with a front pocket, two stitched patches, and buckled straps. Straw pokes out from his sleeves, and his nose is a pointy carrot. He stands in a clump of grass beside three wheat stalks. Around him float many different leaves, including round heart-shaped ones, oak leaves, and maple leaves. Try coloring each leaf type in its own fall shade, then ask kids to count how many of each kind they can find. The patches and straw are also fun spots for mixing textures with crayons or colored pencils. This page is free to print, so you can make extra copies for a classroom fall table.
