Make a scaremow ready for “No Mow May”

 

We are enthusiastically preparing for our garden wildlife event
on 18th March, including our scaremow making activity. Could you help by
creating one (or more!) hats for our scaremows to wear? Here’s one I made
earlier for inspiration:

 

Simple hats are great (to fit over a small yogurt pot or simply to put over the scaremow’s head (the head to be made out of a stuffed sock, or something along those lines!)

 

Hats should ideally be around 16 to 18cm circumference, as a rough guide. Indulge
your imagination – any colour or design is fab, but the brighter and more eye
catching the better. We want to encourage people to display these colourful  characters in their front gardens to promote No Mow May (and also serve as an explanation to passers by as to why the grass has not been cut). 

 

Here’s some that I have made (as a knitting novice),  to give you an idea of the sort
of thing we are looking for. But for more imaginative ideas, please follow

We ‘d love some of you to join in with creating these hats, and also to come along and make your own Scaremow (adults and children are welcome!)

 

Perhaps you have some ideas for how to create these colourful characters? Please do get in touch if so, we’d love to hear them. 

 

Also, if you are simply free to help on the day with this activity, please do get in touch (email:tinahr44@gmail.com).

No experience necessary! Come along and have some fun, whilst picking up some
ideas for wildlife gardening!
