The leaves say "fall." S cut the boards, drilled holes & sanded them. I cut twine and tied them to the holes. Then, I got leaves from the dollar store and cut holes in them. I made mini-sponge letters on popcicle sticks so kids wouldn't be quite so messy while painting. Lastly, I had the kids glue pre-cut (by me) felt pieces, squiggly eyes, and pom-pom noses to create a scarecrow face, and then glued it on top of another leaf, made to look like a collar.
Above is candycorn gourd bowling. Baskets and plastic gourds from the dollar store. I cut & glued the candycorn to mark player positions.
Ring-Around the Scarecrow. I added one more from last year. Scarecrows, rings, and pumpkins from the dollar store. I cut a hole in the pumpkins and filled them with rice to make them sturdy. Bought the real gourds at Meijer.

Pin-the-nose-on-the-scarecrow. I drew, colored, and glued this bad boy. Snugglebug thought it was creepy, though, without a bottom half. Oh, well! The kids enjoyed it!
