10 Fall Color by Number Pages (Free Printables)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published

Fall color by number pages are the friendliest place to start with a number key, because a child can guess most of it: orange for the pumpkin, red and yellow for the leaves, brown for the acorns. Even one who cannot read the key yet ends up with a page that looks like fall.

The set opens with the simple pages: a big maple leaf with two acorns, one round pumpkin, an apple on a branch, each a handful of big shapes and a short key. Then the scenes: a pumpkin patch with a scarecrow and a fence, a rake beside a leaf pile, a rainy walk in boots under an umbrella, a squirrel holding an acorn like a prize. The owl on a branch under a big moon is the one children argue over, and the tree-lined lane at the end, with a mailbox and hills behind it, is the page for the grown-up who wanted a quiet half hour.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain copy paper. The color key is on the same sheet, under the picture. Fall pages use orange, red, yellow, and brown heavily, so check those crayons before a class set.

Six crayons cover the set

Orange, red, yellow, brown, green, and light blue turn up on almost every page. Number 1 is usually orange or brown, because the numbers go by how much of the page each color fills.

In a classroom

The easy pages take five to ten minutes and the scenes take twenty to thirty, so one set gives the early finishers somewhere to go. The pictures share one style, so a wall of different pages still looks like one display.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Leaf match: color the maple leaf page, then go outside and find a real leaf that matches one of the key colors.
  • Count the colors: before coloring, have children count how many areas share number 1 and guess which color will cover the most page.
  • Fall wall: hang finished pumpkin-patch pages side by side so the fences line up into one long field.

Questions about this set

How many colors do the fall pages use?
Between three and ten, depending on the page. The easy ones (a single leaf, an acorn pair) use three to five; the full scenes with scarecrows and fences use eight to ten.
Do I need special markers?
No. The key names everyday colors, so a standard box of crayons or colored pencils covers every page. If you are missing one, use the closest color for every area with that number.
