Fall Tree Coloring Pages to Print
Fall tree coloring pages are a wonderful way to celebrate the season at your kitchen table. This free printable collection gathers 8 pages, from a stately oak and a birch with a striped trunk to a maple with deeply lobed leaves, a ginkgo, and a horse chestnut full of conkers. Kids can fill every branch with reds, oranges, and golds, then add pumpkins, piles of leaves, or a child raking beneath the canopy. Just pick a page, print it at home, and let the autumn colors begin. Every sheet downloads in seconds. To keep the fun going, check out our forest, Autumn leaf or Tree coloring pages too.

Each page features a different species, so your child learns to tell trees apart while coloring. The maple shows sharply cut, pointed leaves, the ginkgo has delicate fan-shaped foliage, and the birch is easy to recognize by its striped trunk. The big oak has plenty of gnarly character, while the horse chestnut comes with its spiky husks and shiny brown nuts. Other pages add a little storytelling: a tree surrounded by pumpkins, a child gathering fallen leaves, or one giant leaf drifting down from the branches. The lines are clean and smooth, with a good balance of large open areas and finer details, so there is something for every skill level. Finished pages look great on the fridge or a classroom bulletin board.
Tips for printing and coloring
Print on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper in portrait or landscape, whichever fits the tree best. For crayons and colored pencils, regular printer paper works well. If your child likes markers, watercolor, or paint, choose heavier cardstock so nothing bleeds through. A few easy ideas to try:
- Start with the trunk and branches, then move on to the leaves.
- Use three or four shades of orange, red, and yellow on one tree for a realistic look.
- Glue real pressed leaves or tissue paper onto the branches for a fun collage.
- Let younger children color the big leaf page, and give the detailed maple or ginkgo to older kids.
Taking a short leaf-hunting walk first makes the coloring even more fun.
Whether you are planning a rainy afternoon activity, a classroom craft, or a cozy autumn evening, these fall tree pages are ready whenever you are.

Coloring ideas for fall tree
Mix warm shades on every tree: layer yellow under orange, then add a touch of red for depth. Try deep burgundy for oak leaves, bright gold for the ginkgo, and fiery red for the maple. Birch trunks look great left white with gray or black stripes, while chestnuts and oak trunks suit browns. Add a pale blue or soft gray sky, and don't forget orange pumpkins and brown leaves scattered on the ground.
Frequently asked questions about fall tree coloring pages
What age are these fall tree coloring pages best for?
They suit kids from about 3 to 12. Preschoolers will enjoy the large leaf and simple tree shapes, since big areas are easy to fill. Older children can take on the maple, ginkgo, or oak, where the finer leaf outlines and bark textures invite shading, blending, and more realistic color choices.
How do I print these fall tree coloring pages?
Open the page you like, choose print, and select standard letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches). Set scaling to 'fit to page' so the tree isn't cropped. Regular printer paper works for crayons and pencils, while thicker cardstock is better for markers or watercolor. You can print as many copies as you want.
Are the coloring pages available as PDF files?
Yes. Every page can be downloaded as a free PDF, which keeps the lines sharp and the sizing consistent when you print. PDFs open on any computer, tablet, or phone, so you can save your favorites and print them again later without losing quality.
Which trees can my child learn to recognize with these pages?
The collection features a maple, an oak, a birch, a ginkgo, and a horse chestnut. Each has a distinctive trait: the maple's pointed lobed leaves, the birch's striped white trunk, the ginkgo's fan-shaped leaves, and the chestnut's spiky husks. It's a fun way to turn coloring time into a mini nature lesson.
