Free Scarecrow Coloring Page Printable for Kids
A scarecrow coloring page is one of those fall activities that instantly sets the tone for the season.
When the leaves start to change, I like to pull out scarecrow printables because they bring a cozy harvest feel into our lessons and crafts.
Kids get the fun of coloring pumpkins, cornfields, and friendly scarecrows, while I get an easy, no-prep way to keep them engaged.
Whether you’re setting up a classroom bulletin board or just looking for a quiet afternoon project, these pages add a touch of autumn charm that works in both playful and educational settings.

How to Use With Young Learners
These scarecrow coloring pages are a great fit for preschool and early elementary kids (ages 3–8), with designs simple enough for beginners but still engaging for older children.
- Classroom Displays: Use completed pages to decorate bulletin boards for fall or harvest-themed units.
- Story Pairing: Combine with books about scarecrows, farms, or autumn to build literacy connections.
- Sensory Craft Add-Ons: Encourage kids to glue on real leaves, hay, or fabric scraps to turn the coloring page into a mixed-media craft.
- Seasonal Placemats: Laminate finished artwork to use as festive placemats at snack time or for classroom parties.
- Color Challenges: Use a random color generator to let kids color with unexpected or silly combinations. It’s a fun way to promote creativity and color recognition.
This printable is also helpful for students who need extra fine-motor practice. Tracing the scarecrow’s hat or carefully coloring the pumpkins gives them a chance to build control in a fun way.

Books About Scarecrows for Kids
When we pull out a scarecrow worksheet page at home, I like to pair it with a fall story. These three books always spark conversation, and plenty of creative coloring afterward.
The Scarecrow – This one gets me every time. It’s a gentle, beautifully illustrated story about compassion and friendship. It’s perfect to read just before a quiet coloring session, kids really settle into the mood of the book.
The Little Scarecrow Boy – A personal favorite from my own childhood, and now my kids love it too. The story has just the right mix of repetition and emotion, and the bold expressions in the art inspire kids to color their scarecrows in big, imaginative ways.
Scarecrow – We use this one when we want a slower pace. It’s quiet and poetic, almost meditative. After reading it, I often see my kids adding sunflowers, cornfields, or birds to their scarecrow coloring pages, just like in the book.
