He’s not cute, he’s not cuddly, but he’s not evil either. This scarecrow is the perfect balance of Tim Burton and traditional Disney. Print him on sturdy construction paper for your kids. A bit of paper and a few brass fasteners is enough to get them started. Their imaginations will take care of the rest.
