Halloween has unique customs and rituals that have evolved over the years. It has also led to the creation of some fun, scary, and quirky niches, like haunted rides and scarecrow decorations. In today’s printable collection of coloring pages, I will be discussing about the latter, scarecrows.
Scarecrows are human-like stick figures made of hay and dressed in human clothes, mostly rags or patchy clothes. Their human-like appearance is thought to hinder the birds from visiting the fields. It’s one of the methods devised by the farmers to keep their farms safe. After all, small farms produce around one-third of the world’s total food.
These days, scarecrows are more of a decorative feature on the farms. There are even several scarecrow festivals organized around the world in places like the United States, Canada, and Europe. In the Philippines, there’s a week-long celebration named Bambanti or Scarecrow Festival.
