Fall Maple Leaf Coloring Page

About this page

A single maple leaf fills the center of the page, standing upright on a short curved stem. The leaf has sharp points at the top and on both sides, with a bold center vein and side veins that fork into smaller branches. A diamond-like shape inside the middle holds two dot eyes and a little smile, which turns the leaf into a friendly character. The edges are drawn in a thick line that is easy to follow, and the veins divide the surface into big, well-separated sections. Nothing else appears on the page, so the leaf is the whole story. Its simple pattern invites a classic autumn fade from one color to another, and it is a calm, easy choice for kids who love fall leaves.
