A friendly scarecrow stands in sturdy boots and holds a large sunflower. His floppy hat carries a stitched patch, his shirt has a checked pattern, and more patches decorate his overalls. Straw peeks from the sleeves and trouser cuffs. A pumpkin and a maple leaf sit near his feet. This scarecrow coloring page balances a clear main character with smaller details in the clothing and flower center.
Traditional scarecrows are figures placed in fields to help discourage birds from feeding on crops. This storybook version looks ready to welcome visitors to an autumn or Halloween celebration. Golden straw, a blue pair of overalls, and a bright sunflower can give the character a harvest palette. Try using two alternating colors for the checked shirt, then choose different shades for the patches. The large pumpkin connects the farm-inspired outfit with the season’s decorations.
Print this free scarecrow coloring page for a harvest display, download it for an autumn craft folder, or color it online on Zumipic. Begin with the boots and overalls, then take your time with the shirt squares and sunflower petals. Children can give their scarecrow a job guarding an imaginary pumpkin patch and describe the visitors it greets. The completed drawing works well beside leaves and other farm-themed artwork.
