Barnaby the Scarecrow's fall Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Barnaby the scarecrow stood in an empty field. All summer, his job was to wave his straw arms and scare the crows. Shoo! Shoo! But now, the corn was gone and the field was quiet. Barnaby felt lonely. He missed the birds, even if he was supposed to scare them. A little crow watched from a tree. He saw Barnaby droop. The crow flew down and landed gently on Barnaby's shoulder. (Unexpected Twist) Soon, more crows came. They didn't come to eat—they came to keep him company, cawing soft songs and showing him the shiny pebbles they found. He wasn't a scary scarecrow anymore; he was their friend.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is perfect for ages 3-5. The scarecrow is depicted as a kind, friendly character, not a scary one. The simple shapes of his clothes and the cute, non-threatening crows are easy for little hands to color, reinforcing the story's positive message of friendship.
