Scarecrow Fine Motor Project

Fine Motor Activities:

Scarecrow: Some of the children worked with the song “the Hokey Pokey” to develop overall body awareness to locate body parts such as the legs, arms head and so on. They worked to producing a whole body of a scarecrow by appropriately placing straw on the feet, hands, and head. The children also talked about facial features such as eyes, nose and mouth and where to properly place these parts on the scare crow’s face.


Scarecrow: Some of the children worked on textures soft and rough. The children had to stuff the scarecrow by putting in both rough and soft texture (cotton and shredded paper).They used the glue to paste his facial features on. The focus for this activity was to develop awareness of where the eyes, nose, and mouth are on the face and to develop correct top down orientation.
