Maple Leaf

A single maple leaf takes up nearly the whole page. Its five pointed lobes stretch outward, and a short, rounded stem sits at the bottom.

What do you see?

There is no branch or tree in the background, just the leaf itself. The outline is thick and clean, with no veins or extra lines inside, leaving one big open shape that is easy to fill in without lifting the pencil.

Coloring ideas

• Mix warm autumn shades like red, orange and yellow
• Color the stem in a contrasting brown
• Try imaginative colors just for fun

Because the shape is so large and uninterrupted, this coloring page works well for children from around three years old. Thick crayons or wax crayons glide easily across the wide surface without slipping outside the lines.

Can you think of another leaf with just as many points?

The page suits a fall-themed activity at home or school, whether as a cutout for a leaf mobile or as a cover page for a seasons project.

Good to know

Shape

Five pointed lobes spread out from a single central point

Season

Maple leaves are typically collected in autumn as they fall

Everyday use

A popular find on autumn walks and in craft boxes at school

Thick crayons, wax crayons or broad felt tips all work well here, since the wide shape does not demand fine line control. Once finished, the page can be cut out and combined with real collected leaves to make a small autumn collage. As an extra challenge, try adding a simple pattern along the outer edge, such as small dots or a gentle wavy line. That turns the plain template into a personal piece of art that also works nicely as a greeting card or a window decoration.
