Go ahead, build a scarecrow today. Just because.

First Sunday of July

What Does #BuildAScarecrowDay Mean?

Build a Scarecrow Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of July and is exactly what it sounds like - a day to construct your own scarecrow. Scarecrows have been used in agriculture for over 3,000 years to protect crops, but today they are just as much a craft project and yard decoration. Some communities hold scarecrow-building contests with surprisingly impressive results.

How to Use #BuildAScarecrowDay

Build a scarecrow and post the results, whether it turns out charming or hilariously terrible. DIY and craft accounts can share tutorials, and families can make it a fun weekend project with the kids. The more creative or ridiculous, the better the engagement.
