Use bulletin board paper rolls to create the base of the scarecrow - black for the pants, orange for the head, and blue for the shirt and hat. Construction paper or card stock in assorted colors work great for the embellishments. Create and slightly crumble small strips of yellow paper to form \"straw\" fringe at the top and bottom of the scarecrow's shirt as well as at the end of each shirt sleeve and pant leg. Use this yellow fringe to create a mop of \"hair\" under the hat. Patches in assorted colors and buttons made from orange paper can be \"sewn\" on to the base pieces using black yarn. Small craft embellishments or paper pieces can be glued to the patches to provide an extra bit of flair. Add a fun scarecrow face with permanent marker, colored paper, and black yarn and your scarecrow is complete! 2) The Pumpkins. Use your students' creations! 3) The Other Embellishments.

[NOTE: This could be a great time to discuss patterning and complimentary colors!] Place the beaded stems side by side and twist together the excess wire stem at each end. Create a corn \"husk\" by cutting a panel from the lunch bag and rolling\/twisting it until it is a long thin \"stick\". When unrolled the piece of lunch bag should retain the curve and crinkle. Place the beaded stems in the center of the unrolled paper and twist it at each end to secure the \"cob\" inside the \"husk\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopcorn Corn Cob.

Glashow purchased a large tree cutout and decorated it with vines of silk fall leaves (easily found at your local craft store).
