Questions parents ask
Which fall coloring pages are good for toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose the easy pages, like the rain boots and umbrella, the cozy sweater, the smiling pinecone or the squirrel burying an acorn. They have one large subject, thick outlines and very little background. Offer warm crayon colors such as red, orange, yellow and brown so kids can practice fall shades.
How can I explain why leaves change color using these pages?
Leaves are green in summer because of a green substance called chlorophyll that helps them make food from sunlight. In autumn, with shorter days, the green fades and the yellow and orange colors that were hiding underneath show through. Color a page together, then collect a few real leaves outside and compare their colors.
Are these autumn pages different from the Thanksgiving and Halloween pages?
Yes. This category focuses on the season itself, with weather, leaves, animals getting ready for winter, apples, pumpkins growing on the vine and cozy clothes. There are no turkeys, holiday dinners, costumes or jack-o'-lanterns, so the pages work all season long in any classroom. Visit the Thanksgiving or Halloween categories for holiday pictures.
