Autumn Tree With Falling Maple Leaves and Pumpkin

A large tree with a thick, textured trunk and a cloud-shaped crown fills most of this page. Big maple-style leaves sit inside the crown, and four more drift down through the air, with short curved lines showing how they swirl as they fall. At the base of the tree, a tall pile of overlapping leaves has built up on the ground. A ribbed pumpkin with a curled stem and a small vine sits beside the pile, and a leaf rests at its side. Rolling hills, round bushes, and small tufts of grass fill in the background. Try using a different fall color for each leaf in the pile so the overlapping edges stand out, then talk with kids about why leaves change color and drop in autumn. You can also print it for a classroom seasons display.
