🎨 How to color it

Color the turkey’s feathers golden brown, the big pumpkin bright orange, the maple leaves cranberry red, and the acorns warm tan. Use chunky crayons or markers for the pumpkin’s wide round sections, and don’t worry if the color hops over a line. For a sweet twist, make the tiny hearts pink and give the turkey’s cheek circles a soft peach blush.

The story behind this coloring page

Under the quiet orchard fence, Nora lined up leaves, acorns, and wheat stems. She had invented a game called Heart-Fall: toss one leaf, tap one pumpkin, whisper one brave word. The pumpkin was round and cool, smelling like rain and dirt, but Nora kept her wings tucked tight.

“Just one tap,” she peeped.

A maple leaf spun down—flip, flop—and landed like a tiny heart on the pumpkin’s head. Nora reached out. Pat! The pumpkin gave a soft, squashy wiggle, and a little smile curved across its face.

Ever since then, harvest pumpkins smile when someone tries a small brave thing for the first time. Can you find the leaf that helped Nora begin?
