The Leaf's simple Dance & Autumn Fun Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

A little red leaf held tightly to its branch. All its brothers and sisters had already let go. "It's time to dance," whispered the Wind.

The little leaf was a bit scared, but the Wind was gentle. "I will hold you," it hummed.

So the leaf let go. It didn't fall. It danced! It twirled to the left. It swirled to the right. It looped and swooped and floated down, down, down, until it landed softly on a carpet of other colourful leaves. Its dance was over, and now it was time to rest.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The large, central subject matter is perfect for the 3-5 age group. It provides a single, clear focus, which helps young children concentrate. The simple shapes of the leaves are easy to fill, and the concept of a 'dancing' leaf is whimsical and engaging for their imagination.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look at this little leaf having a dance in the wind! What colors will you make it? Autumn leaves can be red, orange, yellow, or even brown. You can make each leaf on the ground a different color. Use your crayons to follow the swooshy lines of the wind and have fun making this simple picture bright and colorful. Just do your best to color inside the lines!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This line art would look wonderful printed on cream or light tan paper to give it an instant autumnal feel. Use your printer's 'best' quality setting to capture the crispness of the leaf outlines and the gentle curves of the wind lines, enhancing the simple beauty of the design.

Recommended Tools

Wax crayons are excellent for this page. Children can practice blending colors on the large leaf surface. They can also do a 'leaf rubbing' activity by placing a real leaf under the paper before coloring, adding another layer of nature exploration to this simple activity.
