Simple fall coloring pages for toddlers (ages 2–3)
Toddlers do best with one or two big shapes and lots of open space. These pages have extra-thick lines so a scribble still looks like a finished picture.
Fall leaves coloring page
SaveA big maple leaf, an oak leaf, and a birch leaf. Go on a leaf walk first and let your child match the colors they found: red, orange, yellow, or brown.
Acorn coloring page
SaveOne giant acorn fills the page. The crosshatched cap is fun to color in two shades of brown.
Apple tree coloring page
SaveA round, cloud-shaped tree with apples to color red, green, or yellow, and a basket of picked apples on the grass.
Mushrooms coloring page
SaveThree mushrooms in different sizes, two with spots. Big spots are easy targets for toddlers learning to color inside a shape.
Fall coloring pages for preschoolers (ages 3–5)
Pumpkin patch coloring page
SaveFour pumpkins in different sizes, a curly vine, and a Pumpkin Patch sign with letters to trace or color. For more pumpkin shapes, see our free pumpkin outline templates.

Fall leaves color by number
SaveFive leaves and an acorn, each with a number from 1 to 5, plus a color key at the bottom: 1 red, 2 orange, 3 yellow, 4 brown, 5 green. It’s early number practice that feels like coloring.

Friendly ghost coloring page

Tips for coloring with toddlers
Save- Tape it down. A strip of painter’s tape on each corner stops the page from sliding while little hands press hard.
- Go chunky. Thick crayons, crayon rocks, or washable markers are easier for 2- and 3-year-olds to hold than thin crayons.
- Offer fewer colors. Three or four crayons in fall colors keep a toddler coloring longer than a box of 64.
- Scribbling counts. At this age, coloring builds hand strength and grip. Staying inside the lines comes later.
- Stop while it’s fun. Five minutes is a good session for a toddler. The page will still be there tomorrow.
Coloring is great fine motor practice. For more ways to build hand strength, see our fine motor activities for toddlers.
8 ways to use these fall coloring pages
- Leaf walk match. Collect real leaves outside, then color page 2 to match.
- Fall door sign. Color the Hello Fall page and tape it to the front door.
- Thanksgiving placemats. Print a few pages on cardstock and lay them out as placemats for the kids’ table.
- Restaurant kit. Fold two pages and a few crayons into a bag for waiting at restaurants or appointments.
- Science tie-in. Color the apple tree or acorn, then talk about seeds. Our pumpkin life cycle lesson pairs well with the pumpkin patch page.
- Window art. Color with markers, rub a little cooking oil on the back with a paper towel, and tape it to a sunny window so the light shines through.
- Cut-out garland. Cut out the colored leaves, punch a hole in each, and string them on yarn.
- Quiet time basket. Keep a stack of pages and a pencil case of crayons in a basket for rest time.
How to print the fall coloring pages
- Fit to page: turn on “Fit to page” or “Shrink oversized pages” so the whole outline prints.
- One page at a time: you don’t need to print all 17. Choose the page numbers in your print settings.
- Black and white is fine: every page is line art and uses very little ink.
- Cardstock for keepsakes: heavier paper holds up better to markers and paint.
