Harvest Shakers

Put some corn kernels in the empty plastic bottles. Screw the caps on tight.

Place each bottle inside a brown bag with the cap facing towards the opening. Push the bottle inside until it reaches the bottom of the bag. Cinch the bag closed around the middle. Secure with a rubber band.

Decide which character you are going to make!

To make a scarecrow: Turn the shaker so the cinched opening of the bag is facing down. You can see at this point that your scarecrow has a face and neck!

To make a turkey: Flip it so the opening of the bag is at the top. Cut some feather shapes out of the bag above the rubber band and decorate.

Cover the rubber band by tying a ribbon around the neck of the scarecrow or under the feathers of the turkey.
