Child driving a car covered with big autumn leaves on a winding road

Smiling Driver in a Leaf-Covered Car

A grinning child steers a leaf-disguised car past bare trees, rolling hills, and a sunny sky on a curvy road.

🎨 How to color it

Color the leaf car golden yellow, the oversized hood and wheel leaves pumpkin orange, and the driver's knit hat bright teal. Use chunky crayons for the big leaf shapes and wheels, and do not worry if the color hops over a line. Try making the road pale gray with tiny brown and red leaves scattered like a windy trail.

The story behind this coloring page

Bram’s Patient Leaf Ride — Every day, Bram rolled slowly around Windy Hill, waiting for the last leaf to fall on his little car. Swish, swish, swish went the branches. Read the full story →

Every day, Bram rolled slowly around Windy Hill, waiting for the last leaf to fall on his little car. Swish, swish, swish went the branches. “Not yet,” he told the squirrels, who tossed acorns at his roof and laughed.

Until one day, a giant leaf flapped onto his hood and would not budge. Because of that, Bram drove even slower. Because of THAT, he heard a tiny tickle-tickle under the leaf. Finally he lifted one corner and found three sleepy crickets with toy trumpets. They blasted, “Ta-da!” and the squirrels fell over giggling. Next time you spot the big leaf on Bram’s car, can you guess where the trumpets hid while the branches went swish?
