Cute Happy Scarecrow in the Pumpkin Patch Coloring Page (Free Printable)

This cheerful scarecrow is standing proudly in the middle of a pumpkin patch, wearing a floppy hat, a bow tie, and a patched-up shirt with big buttons. With a round button nose and rosy cheeks, it is more likely to make friends with the crows than scare them away. The page has lots of pumpkins in the front, which is perfect for practicing different shades of orange, yellow, and even white or green pumpkins. The scarecrow's clothes are a fun place to add plaid, stripes, or patches in different colors. It is a great choice for kids ages four to eight and fits into fall lessons about farms and the harvest. Ask your child what the scarecrow's job is, and why farmers need one. After coloring, kids can glue a few pieces of real straw or yellow yarn around the hat for a simple mixed-media craft. It is an autumn page you can keep on the fridge from the start of October right through Thanksgiving.
