Autumn Leaf Wreath Coloring Page

Roughly twenty serrated leaves overlap in a ring around the edge of this sheet, and the middle stays completely white. That empty center is the most useful part of the page. Write a name in it, add a date, or leave it alone so the wreath reads as a frame. Every leaf carries a raised center vein with short side veins branching off it, which gives you a ready made guide if you want each leaf shaded in two tones rather than one flat color. The leaves point outward and their tips run close to the paper edge, so trim carefully if you plan to mount this one. Small curled tendrils tuck between the leaves along the inner rim and reward a fine tipped pen. No leaf is drawn as any particular species, so you can treat the ring as maple, elm or birch and pick your palette from whatever tree grows on your street. Colorists who like symmetry can work opposite pairs in matching shades. Anyone who prefers chaos can fill each leaf differently and let the ring shift from green at the bottom to deep red at the top.
