Coloring order

Color the stone house walls on the left cream, the roof and chimney gray, and the arched door, barrels and fence brown. Mix red, orange and yellow on the maple tree's leaves at the top right and the falling leaves.
Shift Maplekin's layered leaf wings and maple tail from golden yellow to maple red, leaf by leaf, and color the chest and belly cream. The wings and tail can be separate sessions.
Color the twig antlers brown with little orange leaves and the acorn on the shoulder brown. Finish with orange pumpkins, red apples in the baskets, a gray cobblestone path, and the far bridge and tower roof.

Questions to talk about

Where do you think Maplekin is running to down the village path?
How many things in the picture make you think of autumn?
How does your own neighborhood change when autumn comes?

Take it further

Collect a few fallen leaves of different colors outside and glue them on paper to make wings or a tail like Maplekin's.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and medium-weight outlines make it easy to fill with colored pencils.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
