Four large leaves with four different shapes fill this leaf shape coloring page. An oval leaf and a heart-shaped leaf sit at the top. Below them are a maple leaf with pointed lobes and a long thin willow leaf. Every leaf has a stem and veins, and two flowers and a row of bushes grow along the bottom of the page. It suits ages 2 to 6, and the big open spaces make it an easy page.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "four large leaves with different shapes, an oval leaf, a heart shaped leaf, a pointed maple leaf and a long thin willow leaf, each with its veins, drawn with simple bold outlines for preschool and kindergarten, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

A preschool teacher can hold up real leaves from a nature walk and ask children which leaf on the page has the same shape. The heart-shaped leaf gives a quick review of the heart from a shapes lesson, and the willow leaf shows how long and thin a leaf can be.

An occupational therapist can use the veins for short, careful lines with a colored pencil. At home, the page fits a fall afternoon with a basket of leaves from the yard. For other trees, make a page with oak and ginkgo leaves.
