Harvest Scarecrow
The harvest scarecrow, his job is done,
a field of wheat stands one by one.
Each ear of gold and grain of yellow
waits for the harvester and tractor to follow.
The crows filled their tummies with other things
this year
fruit berries, nuts and seeds I hear.
Their nests in the tree tops were full of eggs and
chicks
so I think we'll need our scarecow for more crow
tricks

Game play can involve crow themed finger pupets. Make
these by cutting strips of paper and curling them around a finger
to achieve the correct size . Cut and sticky tape in place so that
they slip on and off a finger with ease. Print, cut and attach a crow
picture to the top or the paper ring and role play swooping and diving,
at the wheat grains ..
