Fall coloring pages
Color the squirrel. A single squirrel with large, simple areas to fill. Coloring builds the hand strength your child needs for writing, and naming the colours as they go builds vocabulary.Color the pumpkin. A single pumpkin with large, simple areas to fill. Coloring builds the hand strength your child needs for writing, and naming the colours as they go builds vocabulary.Color the picture. A full scene to colour, with plenty of small details for children who are ready for more. Bring leaves, acorns, pumpkins and a sleepy hedgehog to your kitchen table.
Fall tracing lines
Trace the dotted lines. Start at the dot. Horizontal, vertical and diagonal dotted lines, each with a start dot and a small story: the squirrel scurries to its acorn, rain falls from the cloud onto the boots, the hedgehog climbs into the leaves to sleep, the apple becomes an apple pie and the owl flies home to its tree. Start with the horizontal lines at the top, then the vertical ones.
How many owls can you find? (Ages 3-4) Find 4 owls hidden in the scene, circle each one, then colour the row underneath and trace the number 4. A calm, absorbing quiet-time activity.How many acorns can you find? (Ages 4-5) Find 9 acorns hidden in the scene, circle each one, then colour the row underneath and trace the number 9. The harder version has more to find and a bigger number to write.
Complete the pattern. 6 rows of patterns that get harder as you go down: simple AB patterns first, then ABC and AAB. Your child circles what comes next from two choices. Items on this page: pumpkin, acorn, apple, mushroom, rain boots and rain cloud.
Cutting practice Snip lines for beginners at the top, then two bookmarks (squirrel and hedgehog) and a fold-out card with scarecrow and owl to colour and cut out. Something to keep at the end keeps motivation high.Cutting practice. Two wavy lines to cut along, then six shapes, circles, a triangle, a rectangle and a heart, each holding a fall picture (hedgehog, squirrel, owl and pumpkin and more). Cut them out and glue them onto paper to make a scene.
Count and trace. Six boxes: count the owl, acorn and apple and others, then trace the number. Numbers on this page: 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. Two-digit numbers are traced at full size.
Dab the dots to fill the pumpkin. A big pumpkin filled with dauber-sized circles for a dot marker, bingo dabber or a fingertip of paint, then the word pumpkin to trace underneath.
Match each picture to its shadow. 5 pictures along the bottom (squirrel, hedgehog, owl, acorn and mushroom) and their shadows shuffled along the top. Your child draws a line from each picture to its shadow. Visual discrimination, the skill behind telling b from d.
Trace the letter A. The letter A, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real fall words: acorn and apple. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter O. The letter O, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real fall words: owl. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter P. The letter P, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real fall words: pumpkin. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter S. The letter S, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real fall words: squirrel and scarecrow. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter H. The letter H, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real fall words: hedgehog. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter M. The letter M, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real fall words: mushroom and moon. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.
All the letters, A to M. Every letter from A to M, big and small, once each, on a three-line guide. A reference page rather than a drill.All the letters, N to Z. Every letter from N to Z, big and small, once each, on a three-line guide. A reference page rather than a drill.
Squirrels bury thousands of acorns each fall and forget where some of them are. Those become oak trees.
Hedgehogs sleep through winter in a pile of leaves.
Leaves turn orange and red because the green fades first.
A pumpkin is a fruit, not a vegetable.
Owls can turn their heads almost all the way around.
Talking during the worksheet builds vocabulary and keeps a preschooler at the table longer. Ask which picture on the page is their favourite and why.
