About this coloring page

A happy dog sits in a large pile of fallen oak and maple leaves. The dog wears a cozy plaid scarf that drifts gently in the autumn breeze. Nearby, a tiny squirrel sits on the leaves, and a small pumpkin rests on the ground. A single tree and several falling leaves complete this peaceful outdoor fall scene.

This medium-level page is perfect for school-aged kids and older preschoolers. The dog has large, clear areas that are easy to color. The pile of leaves and the plaid pattern on the scarf offer smaller, detailed sections that help practice fine motor control and patience.

While coloring, you can talk about how animals prepare for the colder winter months. Discuss how squirrels gather acorns and why some trees lose their leaves in the autumn. You can also count the different shapes of leaves scattered on the ground.
