Children can color their fall leaves in shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown, or use their imaginations to create leaves in any color they choose. Crayons, markers, and colored pencils all work well with these printable pages. After coloring, head outside to gather some real leaves and jump into a big, crunchy pile, or do one of the following fun activities!

Fun and Educational Activities with Fall Leaves Coloring Pages

These fall leaves coloring pages can be used for more than coloring. Here are a few simple ways to add learning and creativity to the fun.

1. Explore Fall Colors

Start by asking kids which leaf colors they’ve noticed outside. Then, let them experiment with reds, oranges, yellows, and browns on their pages. They can even create a purple or rainbow leaf just for fun!

2. Go on a Leaf Hunt

Next, take a walk and look for leaves in different colors, shapes, and sizes. When you get home, children can color a page to look like their favorite leaf from the walk.

3. Practice Sorting and Counting

For a quick learning activity, ask kids to count the leaves on a page or sort the ones they collected by color or size. Younger children can name the colors, while older kids can look more closely at the different leaf shapes.

4. Make Autumn Decorations

Once the pages are colored, display them on a wall, window, or classroom bulletin board. Kids can also cut out their finished leaves and string them together to make a cheerful fall garland.

5. Create a Fall Story

Finally, invite children to imagine where a falling leaf might travel. Does it land in a pumpkin patch, float across a pond, or blow into someone’s backyard? They can tell their story aloud or write it beneath their picture.

All About Fall Leaves

As the days grow shorter, many trees stop making as much chlorophyll, the substance that helps make their leaves look green. Other colors in the leaves become easier to see, creating the beautiful fall shades we know and love.

Leaves come in many shapes, too! A maple leaf looks different from an oak leaf, making a walk outside a fun chance to notice what’s growing nearby. Kids can compare the leaves they find with the ones on their coloring pages.
