About this worksheet
This page has one big maple leaf filling the paper, drawn with a happy face right in the middle: two oval eyes and a curved smile. The leaf has five points altogether. The top point is a tall spike, there is a spike on each side, and the two lower side points curl inward into small spiral tips instead of ending sharply. A straight vein runs from the top point down to the stem, with two curved veins branching off it toward the bottom lobes. A single plain stem hangs below.
The leaf body is one wide, open shape, so a child can colour most of it in a couple of big sweeps without worrying about staying inside tiny lines. The two curled spiral tips are the only fiddly bits, and they are a nice place to try a second colour or a different crayon just for those two little coils. The face gives you something to talk about while colouring: is the leaf happy because it is autumn, what colour would a real leaf like this turn.
This is an easy sheet. The outlines are bold and there is nothing cramped or overlapping, so it works well for a child who is still learning to keep colour inside the lines, or for a quick page before dinner. Older preschoolers who want more of a challenge can use the veins to separate the leaf into sections and give each one its own shade.
How to use this sheet
Let your child colour the big leaf body first, then come back for the two curled spiral tips with a second colour. If they go over a vein line, just say the leaf now has a colour change there.
