Smiling Maple Leaves on a Bare Fall Tree

Two big maple leaves with cartoon faces sit against a twisty tree trunk, each with wide round eyes, a little nose, and a happy grin. Their pointed stems tuck into the bark, so they look like they are peeking out from the branches. The bare tree has a few wavy limbs reaching upward and to the left. Around them, smaller plain leaves drift through the air, along with two detailed maple leaves with pointed lobes and visible veins. Puffy, scalloped clouds are scattered on both sides of the page. Try coloring the two faced leaves in different autumn shades, like deep red and golden orange, then let kids pick a mix of colors for the falling leaves. It is also a nice prompt for talking about why leaves change color and drop in the fall. Print it as many times as you need for a classroom or a quiet afternoon at home.
