Hi Kirby!

Welcome to the game. I think you and your granddaughter will enjoy playing. But it can be a bit challenging at first.

If you go to the main forum list and scroll down to the fourth section, called guides, and select VV2, you will find detailed guides and descriptions of most everything you'll need to get going. If you don't want that much information yet, I would suggest 'scaring' the birds away. (hint)

If you would like to know the answer now, begin highlighting here: You will need to have an adept or master farmer gather the flexible wood located at the bottom of the rocks which are just to the east of the gong area. After gathering the wood, the villager will carry it to the crops and begin assembling a scarecrow. The villager will need to make two trips to complete the task.
End highligted area.

Good luck!
