Bold coloring page of a patterned pom-pom hat, two mittens, and maple leaves for fall.

Patterned Winter Hat, Mittens, and Maple Leaves

A cozy pom-pom hat and two patterned mittens tumble between crisp maple leaves, with a looping mitten string below.

🎨 How to color it

Give the hat a cranberry red brim, the mittens golden yellow zigzags, and the two maple leaves bright pumpkin orange. Use chunky crayons for the big hat band, mitten cuffs, and wide leaf sections; little hands can color right over the thick lines. Try making the dotted mitten string a secret trail of tiny blue dots.

The story behind this coloring page

Rue’s Secret String Trail — In the cloakroom nook, Rue patted her plain mitten cuffs. Tap, tap. Read the full story →

In the cloakroom nook, Rue patted her plain mitten cuffs. Tap, tap. She wanted a leaf stamp, made by her own hands.

Out she toddled past the scarf pegs, snip-snap, with yarn soft as kitten fur. A tiny mitten mouse peeked from a hat pom-pom. “Follow the dots,” it squeaked. Rue followed the string, loop by loop, and lost one shiny button.

Behind the big maple leaf, she found a walnut stamp. Press! Orange leaf shapes bloomed on her cuffs. Rue came back proud, with cozy hands and a secret trail. Can you spot the dots she followed from the cloakroom nook?
