Acorn-Topped November Cupcake With Tumbling Leaves

A big cupcake sits in the middle of this page with a dotted, stippled frosting top and a little acorn-shaped swirl on the very peak. Three plain leaves drift around it, each with small curved motion lines that show them tumbling in the wind. Along the bottom, a pile of fall items is tucked together: more leaves, a few acorns with textured caps, two lobed oak-style leaves, and a ribbed pumpkin with a short stem on the right. The word NOVEMBER is written in bubble letters across the top, all inside a dashed rounded border. Kids could use tiny dots of two or three colors on the cupcake frosting to practice careful marking, then pick warm browns, oranges, and reds for the leaves and pumpkin. It also works well as a free printable for a November calendar or a Thanksgiving week activity table.
