The maple leaf is the symbol of autumn, and coloring it is a lesson in how leaves change: green at the stem, then yellow, orange and red toward the tips. Children can collect a real leaf on a walk and compare. Cut it out and hang several from a branch for a fall decoration. This maple leaf coloring page has a rounder cousin in the oak leaf.
