I never really understood the whole connection between scarecrows and Halloween. When I think of scarecrows I see a friendly protector. Sure, they look like magical people out there in the fields but they are our guardians. They are there to protect our food from the evil crows that come hoping to starve us and raise havoc in our lives. Of course the Wizard of Oz only further reinforced my view. There he is getting lit on fire but he stands by Dorothy through thick and thin. So, I hope ifwhen you build some of these scarecrow crafts you can think of them as your guardians from the forces of evil and malevolence, here to protect you on Halloween or any other time of year. They may not be bright but Scarecrows are our friends.

the movie). Wow, Dorothy's aged well! My favorite
