What’s Included in the Scarecrow Coloring Pages?

The printable PDF includes 10 different black-and-white coloring sheets, each sized for US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 inches). Some have big, open spaces, while others have smaller details in the flowers, straw, clothing, and backgrounds.

Scarecrow in the corn patch: A smiling scarecrow stretches out its arms between tall cornstalks, with pumpkins at its feet.

Scarecrow with sunflowers: A scarecrow in a dress and flower-trimmed hat stands among tall sunflowers, with a little farm in the background.

Scarecrow holding a pumpkin: A friendly scarecrow hugs a pumpkin while fallen leaves scatter around its boots.

Scarecrow on a hay bale: A seated scarecrow rests beside a group of pumpkins, with a barn in the distance.

Two scarecrows and a pig: A pair of scarecrows spend time with a happy pig beside a farm fence.

Scarecrow with a bird: A bird perches on the scarecrow’s raised hand above a pumpkin-filled patch.

Sunflower garden scarecrow: A scarecrow sits on a bench holding flowers, surrounded by sunflowers and a butterfly.

Simple scarecrow with a pig: A round-faced scarecrow sits on a hay bale next to a little pig, with a mostly open background.

Simple scarecrow holding a flower: A waving scarecrow wears a bow and a heart-decorated dress, with a flower in one hand and a pumpkin nearby.

Spooky Halloween scarecrow: A taller, slightly creepy scarecrow stands beneath a moon and bats, surrounded by jack-o’-lanterns, bare branches, and fall leaves.

Choosing an Easy or More Detailed Coloring Page

For younger kids, start with the scarecrow sitting beside the pig or the waving scarecrow holding a flower. These two simple scarecrow coloring pages have fewer background details and larger spaces to fill. They’re also a nice choice for anyone who prefers a less busy picture.

The pumpkin-holding scarecrow is another option if your child wants a little more detail without a full garden scene. For kids who enjoy taking their time, try the sunflower garden, the two scarecrows with the pig, or the moonlit Halloween picture.

Most of the pages are cheerful rather than scary. If your child likes a touch of spooky, the Halloween scarecrow coloring page has bats, carved pumpkins, and a more crooked-looking hat, but no graphic imagery.

Printing and Coloring Tips

You’ll need the printable coloring pages, a printer, white paper, and crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Regular printer paper works well for crayons and pencils. For markers, use paper suitable for your markers and put a spare sheet underneath to catch any ink that comes through.

Choose the design you want before printing so you don’t have to print the entire collection. Check the print preview to make sure the border and bottom of the picture fit on the page; use your printer’s fit-to-page option if an edge is being cut off.

Crayons are handy for the larger areas on the simple sheets. Colored pencils make it easier to reach the smaller patches, sunflower petals, and strands of straw on the detailed pictures.

For a classic fall palette, try golden yellow straw, orange pumpkins, brown boots, and red or blue clothing. You can also color every patch a different shade or add your own stripes and dots to the scarecrow’s outfit.

Fun Ways to Use Your Finished Coloring Sheets

• Give your scarecrow a name: Write its name on a separate strip of paper, then tell a short story about the garden it looks after. Who visits first—the bird, pig, or pig?
• Make a fall display: Mount the finished pictures on colored paper and arrange them into a classroom scarecrow patch. Let each child choose a different outfit color so every scarecrow has its own look.
• Try a picture hunt: Before coloring, look for pumpkins, flowers, animals, and patches. Count the items on one page, then compare with a different design.
• Color together: Print the same design for two people and compare the finished pictures. It’s fun to see how different color choices change the same scene.
