Oak Leaf And Acorn Pair Coloring Page

Two acorns sit side by side at the top of this page, and one wide oak leaf lies below them. The acorns each wear a ribbed cap with a short stalk rising from it. Oak leaves have rounded lobes rather than points, and this one shows seven of them around a long central vein. Three side veins run off each side of that vein and carry all the way to the edge. Oak and acorn go together in every woodland, so this page teaches a small piece of nature while it keeps hands busy. Point out to a child that every oak tree in the park started as one acorn like these. The shapes are large and the outlines are heavy, so this works well for kids who are still learning to control a crayon. Color the caps a different tone from the nuts and the acorns gain depth. Brown is the obvious choice, but nothing stops anyone painting the leaf in bright pink. Print two copies and compare what each person did with the same shapes.
