Falling Maple Leaves

Several maple and oak leaves of different shapes drift and tumble through the air on this page, each one showing its pointed lobes and branching veins, with a couple already at rest on the ground below. Because every leaf is a little different, you get pleasant variety without anything feeling crowded, and the open spaces between leaves keep it light. Younger colorers can fill each leaf in one bold color, while older ones can trace the veins and blend shades within a single leaf. Leaves fall in autumn when trees stop making the green pigment that powers them, letting reds, oranges, and golds finally show before the leaves drop. That makes this a lovely page for talking about the season. Try giving each leaf its own warm color. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a calm autumn coloring activity or a leaf-identification project.
