What is on these fall coloring pages
Each page is a garden in autumn: a wooden fence, a shed, big round trees and a little dragon who can only puff smoke. There is a grandma, a grandpa, a cat on a fence post and a dog who looks a bit surprised. The scenes come from the illustrations in our sample books, redrawn as black outlines.
The trees are drawn as big round shapes, which makes them perfect for trying out fall colors. A child can fill one tree with red, the next with yellow, and add falling leaves anywhere there is white space.
How to print them
A few things that make printing easier:
- Click PDF to open one page sized for A4 paper. On US Letter paper, choose Fit to page in the print window.
- Print in black and white: the pages have no gray, so they use very little ink.
- Regular printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. For markers or watercolor, thicker paper keeps the color from bleeding through.
- Save the PNG if your child colors on a tablet.
Ideas for fall coloring time
Go for a short walk first and collect a few leaves. Back home, your child can match the crayons to the leaves they found, or glue a real leaf next to the tree on the page.
Ask about the people in the picture. What is the grandma saying over the fence? What is in the boy’s jar? Younger children often tell the story out loud while they color.
Older kids can turn a page into a whole season: add pumpkins by the steps, rain boots by the door or a pile of leaves to jump into.
A fall story with your child as the hero
The children and the dragon on these pages come from sample books made with minibooks. You can make a story like that with your own child in every picture: type their name, age and a few words about how they look, pick a style and say what the story is about, maybe a walk in the fall leaves with Grandma.
The cover and first pages are free, usually in 2–3 minutes. If you like them, the whole book is $14.99, paid once: the cover and 12 illustrated pages to read online and as a PDF to print.
