I started a scarecrow festival in our village last year and it was very successful. We had a trail, prizes, newspaper coverage....
I have dropped out of organising this year due to hub's health, but it's the second one this year (bless those who've taken it on) ...is there an 'easy' scarecrow to do on the subject of nursery rhymes?
I'm running out of time and ideas and now panicking a bit.

How about doing Miss Muffet with a spider next to her?

There are lots of tutorials on youtube for making scarecrows.

Just that I thought nobody really knows what miss Muffet looks like, so a female face and hair plus the spider could work?

Little Boy Blue? If you can borrow a straw/hay bale, then just need jeans and a blue shirt.
Scarecrow festivals are great fun!

How about a flowerpot scarecrow, if you google with those words lots of ideas come up. I liked this one.

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasnt there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh how I wish he’d go away.

You’d only need a ladder?

Bo Peep? Bonnet and pinafore to make it obvious who she is, and 3 fluffy somethings for the sheep?

Children's dressing up costumes make good scarecrows.
Spiderman hanging from tree was in our last years show.

One of the winners was actually having work done on their house and had scaffolding up.

So they did 2 workmen up on the scaffolding, both in high viz jackets.
The one facing towards house had a builders bum grin.

Oh, Blossoming

‘Probably best to leave off The Grand Old Duke of York’ - that really made me laugh out loud!

Probably not appropriate but in an episode of Jonathan Creek there was a scarecrow festival in the village and someone had rigged up a hosepipe so it looked like the male scarecrow was having a pee. Would certainly be a talking point !
