Scarecrow Service Activity

For Activity Day this month, I decided to do a fun scarecrow themed service activity. Here is my simple reminder/invite that I made for my activity girls!
Credits: Paper and "Pick of the Patch" doodles are by Kate Hadfield from The Lily Pad. I used Segoe Print for the font.  We were in need of a fun service activity.  So I decided that the girls could express their appreciation for their school teacher by giving them a delicious fall treat and scarecrow thank you card.  The girls helped me make Scarecrow Crunch and made an accordion card for their teacher.

Scarecrow Crunch
Ingredients:
4 c. Oatmeal Cereal Squares
4 c. Tiny Twist Pretzels
1 (22 oz.) bag of mixed candy (pumpkins and candy corn)
2 (6 oz. box caramel popcorn with nuts
1 (6.6 oz) box of chocolate graham bake snacks
1 bag of Reeces Pieces
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Serve as desired. Makes 15 Cups.
Here is my cute recipe card that I sent home with the girls and they each took home a bag of treats for themselves too.
