This fall leaves coloring page gives children a clear autumn design to explore. Six heart-shaped leaves are arranged in two columns. Each leaf has a curved stem and broad wavy stripes, creating a repeating autumn pattern with large spaces for color. The black outlines and white spaces make the main shapes easy to follow. There is room to choose a different color for each leaf or to keep a smaller palette throughout the picture.
Leaves offer a friendly starting point for looking closely at nature. Children can compare pointed and rounded edges, notice the lines inside a leaf, and talk about shapes they have seen on a walk. Try yellow, orange, red, or brown for a seasonal palette, or choose imaginative colors for a personal version. Working slowly around the outlines also gives children time to enjoy each part of the drawing. Repeating colors or alternating light and dark shades is a simple way to make the decorative pattern your own.
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.
