Scarecrow Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers
This scarecrow-building activity gives children ages 3-5 focused practice in cutting and gluing basic shapes — circles, triangles, rectangles — into place to assemble a recognizable figure. Matching each shape to its correct spot on the scarecrow outline also reinforces spatial reasoning, since children must judge size and orientation before pasting. Naming the shapes aloud as they work connects the craft to early geometry vocabulary rather than treating it as pure art time.

Pen Control, starring your child
A pre-writing pack made for one child: their animal travels along roads, lines, waves, loops and spirals to things it loves, then round shapes and along cutting lines, all the way to their own name. Ages 2 to 5, and new paths whenever you like.

How to use this worksheet
Cut out each shape piece, helping steady the paper if your child's scissor control is still developing. Look at the scarecrow outline together and figure out which shape belongs where — a triangle for the hat, a circle for the head, and so on. Glue each shape into its matching spot, naming the shape out loud as it's placed. Once assembled, let your child color the scarecrow and its background to finish the scene.
