Autumn Pumpkin With Curly Vines and Fall Leaves

A large round pumpkin with wide ribbed sections sits in the center, topped with a short bent stem and two clusters of lobed leaves. Thin curly tendrils loop up and out from the vines, and one curls down the front of the pumpkin. The word Autumn is written in flowing script above it. Around the base, many different leaves are scattered, including a jagged oak-style leaf, a spiky-edged branch with several small leaflets, smooth oval leaves, and a rounded leaf with fine veins. A soft shadow sits under the pumpkin. It makes a nice free printable for Thanksgiving week. Try coloring each leaf type in a different fall shade, then talk about how the shapes and edges vary from leaf to leaf. Younger kids can start with the big pumpkin ribs, while older kids can add shading to the tiny leaf veins.
