Fall coloring page with a windblown tree, falling leaves, grassy hills, clouds, and sun.

Windy Fall Tree on a Leafy Hill

A sturdy autumn tree bends over a grassy hill while loose leaves swirl across the sky and scatter under its roots.

🎨 How to color it

Color the tree leaves pumpkin orange and golden yellow, the trunk warm brown, the hills moss green, and the small sun pale gold. Use chunky crayons or broad marker strokes for the big hill shapes, then switch to a sharper crayon tip for the many little falling leaves. Try making the wind feel lively by coloring the leaves nearest the tree brightest and the faraway flying leaves a softer orange.

The story behind this coloring page

The Leaf That Waited — Under the bright round sun, Tessa raced up Whistle Hill with a flat brown leaf tucked in her pocket. Read the full story →

Under the bright round sun, Tessa raced up Whistle Hill with a flat brown leaf tucked in her pocket. She had kept it for seven days, even when shinier red leaves skittered past her shoes. The grass hissed, shhh-shhh, and the big tree tossed its branches like it was calling, “Hurry, hurry!”

At the top, Tessa held the leaf high. She waited while dozens of leaves spun and flipped around her. Then a gust lifted her plain leaf, and its tiny veins glowed like trails. “It’s a map!” Tessa laughed. The wind carried it in a perfect loop around the tree, showing where the leaf parade would begin.

Tessa followed, kicking through crisp piles that smelled dusty and sweet. When the leaf settled by the roots, every other leaf swirled after it, clap-clap-clapping over the hill. If you spot one quiet leaf near the trunk, maybe it is waiting to lead the next parade under the bright round sun.
