If You Only had a Scarecrow Halloween Costume

Whether you want to use scarecrow costumery as part of a haunted house attraction or to simply hang from trees around your property, scarecrows are a surefire way to inspire Halloween delight.

Although there are many different styles available online here at Oriental Trading we have selected some particularly popular designs that make excellent choices if you're looking for something inexpensive yet effective when it comes to costuming or harvest decorations.

Scarecrows Can Be Humans, Animals, or Even Aliens

The most popular type of scarecrow is one that's made up of dusty farm clothes and burlap fabric with hay sticking out all over it. When it comes to having a scarecrow costume, there are many options. You can dress up like the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz or even as a happy toddler scarecrow. Which type of scarecrow fits your personality best?

You may choose to top your scarecrow with a hat or go without one. The scarecrow hat is made of polyester, and the mask is made of polyurethane. The straw look on the hat is not actual straw¿it's a synthetic material that gives it a similar look to real straw. The costume hat has an adjustable strap at the back so you can find your perfect fit.

Another great option is to choose an ultra-creepy scarecrow pig or rabbit mask! You can augment this terrifying look by attaching straw or corn stalks around your neck for an added touch of realism. If you don't have any actual straw or corn stalks lying around, you can use artificial instead! And don't skimp on the blood¿ Scarecrows are pretty creepy on their own but adding fake blood can make them look downright terrifying. Use fake blood or even red food coloring mixed with water for an especially realistic effect.

You can use scarecrow costume components in many ways, including for Halloween parties, harvest festivals and more. They're a great value and evergreen. Plus, they come in all sizes from small to extra-large and fit most people of any age, even the little ones. To the point, our Toddler Happy Harvest Scarecrow Costume is the perfect Halloween costume for your little one. This costume includes a farmer's hat with attached straw hair, a straw shirt, pants, and shoes.
