This fall tree coloring page offers children an autumn design with clearly defined shapes. A large tree stands to the left of an empty wooden bench. Six large leaf motifs sit inside its rounded crown, while three fallen leaves lie below the bench with its broad slats and sturdy legs. The black outlines leave plenty of white space within the main shapes. Each canopy, trunk, and leaf can be given its own color, or you can repeat a small palette across the drawing.
An autumn tree picture invites children to look at the overall silhouette before working on the smaller parts. Compare the rounded and angular shapes, notice where the trunk meets the crown, and decide which areas to emphasize. Yellow, orange, red, and brown can suggest the season, while unexpected colors create a playful version. You can also talk about a tree seen on a walk and how its shape compares with this drawing. There is no need to use the same color in every part. You can compare the silhouettes before coloring and decide which parts to emphasize with a brighter shade.
Print this free coloring page for an autumn activity at home or in the classroom, download it for later, or color online on Zumipic. The printable coloring page works well with crayons or colored pencils. You can display the finished picture, add it to a seasonal folder, or use it as a starting point for talking about autumn. Leave some areas white if you prefer a lighter result.
