Bold fall coloring page with a large acorn, small acorns, and wavy oak leaves.

Big Acorn Among Oak Leaves

A plump acorn with a crisscross cap tumbles between wide, wavy oak leaves and scattered little acorns.

🎨 How to color it

Color the big acorn’s cap chestnut brown, its nut warm tan, the oak leaves golden yellow and pumpkin orange, and the tiny acorns cocoa brown. Use chunky crayons for the big leaf spaces and acorn bodies; the crisscross cap lines can stay messy and still look playful. Try making the center acorn extra bright, like it is the boss of all the little acorns.

The story behind this coloring page

Bixby’s Pocket Pebble — Every day, Bixby tucked his tiny gray pebble under his cap and rolled bump-bump down the oak path. It made a good clack sound. Read the full story →

Every day, Bixby tucked his tiny gray pebble under his cap and rolled bump-bump down the oak path. It made a good clack sound. It smelled like rain and dirt.

Until one day, the pebble popped out—plink! Because of that, Bixby chased it under a floppy leaf. Because of THAT, three acorns rolled after him, bonk-bonk-bonk, shouting, “Mine? Mine?”

Finally, Bixby sat on the pebble like a chair. The others laughed and scooted close. Next time you spot the big acorn, can you guess where his clacky pebble is hiding?
