YOUNGSTERS have been turning their old clothes into scarecrows.

The workshop, which was held at Newham Grange Leisure Farm, Coulby Newham, Middlesbrough, gave children the opportunity to create their own Worzel Gummidge.

Among those taking part were eight-year-old Jack Saunders and his sister, Emily Saunders, ten, pictured above with their scarecrow.

The activity was one of a series taking place at the farm during the summer holidays.

Tomorrow, children will have the chance to learn how to make a felt picture. The workshop runs from 11am to 3pm and costs 50p.

Places must be booked by telephoning (01642) 525729.
