The Leaf's Big Jump autumn Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Once, high up in a big oak tree, lived a little red leaf. All summer he had been bright green, but now autumn had painted him the colour of a shiny fire engine. He watched his friends, the yellow and orange leaves, twirl and dance down to the ground. "It looks like fun!" he whispered. One morning, a friendly wind came along. "Ready for your big jump?" it whooshed gently. The little leaf took a deep breath, let go of his branch, and... WEEEE! He tumbled and spun, twirled and floated, landing softly on a big pile of his friends. Crunch, crunch! It was the best landing ever.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is ideal for 3-4 year olds. The large, simple shapes with bold, clear outlines help develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor control. The 'Round & Soft Cartoon' style is friendly and approachable, and the familiar autumn theme of a falling leaf is easy for young children to understand and relate to, making the activity engaging and fun. The outline-only format removes complexity, allowing them to focus purely on the joy of coloring.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For the best coloring experience, print this line art page on medium-weight paper or cardstock. This prevents markers from bleeding through and provides a sturdy surface for crayons. Use your printer's 'high quality' or 'best' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear, making it easier for little hands to color within the lines and enjoy their autumn creation.

Recommended Tools

Large, chunky crayons are perfect for this age group as they are easy to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. Both tools work beautifully on the large, open areas of this outline-only design. Always supervise to ensure caps are put back on markers and that children are using the tools safely.
