Autumn Coloring Pages

Pictures for young children and older learners

This set includes familiar autumn subjects such as leaves, pumpkins, acorns, trees, birds and woodland animals. Younger children can work with large shapes, thick outlines and a small number of areas to colour. Older children can try pages with layered leaves, patterned scarves, baskets of produce and outdoor scenes. The pictures leave room for children to choose their own colours, so they can show an autumn scene as they imagine it. These autumn coloring pages suit a quiet activity at home, a seasonal art table or an early years classroom.

Simple ways to use the pages

At home, invite your child to colour one page after a walk, then talk about anything they noticed outdoors. In class, place the pages in a seasonal art corner and add crayons, coloured pencils or oil pastels. Children can sort finished pictures by colour, make a display of leaf rubbings beside them or write one sentence about the scene. Older pupils can compare autumn with Summer Coloring Pages and explain which details change. Use one picture as a calm starter before a story, poem or nature lesson.

Small autumn facts to share

Many trees lose their leaves in autumn because the leaves stop making food as daylight becomes shorter. Leaves can turn yellow, orange, red or brown before they fall. Squirrels and some other animals gather or hide food to use later. Autumn weather is different from place to place, so a child in India may notice cooler mornings, clearer skies or seasonal festivals rather than a forest full of red leaves. Use the pictures to talk about what autumn looks like near your home.
