About this coloring page
A big, smiling pumpkin with a carved-style face fills the center of the page: crescent eyes, a wide grin and two square teeth. Deep ribs curve down its sides, a thick stem twists on top, and two curly vines spiral out beside it. Oak, maple and round leaves with veins surround the pumpkin on every side.
Coloring ideas
Orange is a must for the pumpkin, with a darker orange along the ribs to make it look round. To make it look lit up, color the eyes and mouth yellow with a bit of orange in the center. The leaves can be a mix of red, gold, orange and brown, just like real autumn leaves.
Skills practiced
Fall leaves change color because trees stop making green chlorophyll, a simple science idea for older kids. Sorting the leaves on the page by shape (pointed, wavy, round) and counting each group is a nice math and observation activity.
Printing tips
The leaf veins create small sections, so colored pencils work best for neat edges. Print in late September and October for Halloween parties, and display the pumpkins together on a classroom window.
