Autumn gives children the best craft box of all: a pavement full of leaves in red, gold and brown. This set turns that leaf pile into 35 free fall leaf crafts for kids — printable templates you can cut out, colour and glue at home, in the classroom or at a rainy-day craft table. There is no sign-up and no cost: download the PDF, print it on A4 or US Letter, and start making.

The set mixes black-and-white cut-out craft templates with coloured leaf-animal cut-outs, plus three colour-in craft pages. The black-and-white templates — a jewelry dish, an apron and a door hanger — are ready to colour in first, so children can choose their own autumn colours. The coloured cut-outs are ready to cut and glue straight away: a deer, a bear, a raccoon, a bluebird, a snail, a turtle and a caterpillar, all built from leaf shapes. There is also a coloured pumpkin patch sign for the door or wall, and a black-and-white Thanksgiving banner to colour and hang. The set has grown by 4 more designs to 35 — a leaf mobile to cut out and hang, plus three colour-in craft pages, a dream catcher, a sensory bag and a wall hanging — so there is something for every autumn afternoon.

What’s Included

In this collection, we publish 35 fall leaf crafts and images.

How to Make the Crafts

Thread the weaving loom with yarn or ribbon and string the finished bunting up across the room. The apron and the scarecrow hat are made to be worn: colour them in, cut them out and wear them for pretend play.

How to Print

Print the PDF single-sided on A4 or US Letter at 100% scale — both sizes are included, so choose the one that matches your printer. The black-and-white templates print well on ordinary printer paper: colour the pieces first, then cut along the dashed lines. The coloured cut-outs are ready to cut and glue straight away — use a glue stick for the small pieces, and help younger children with the fiddly bits. For the mason jar lantern, wrap the template around a clean jar and pop a battery tea light inside; never use a real flame with paper crafts. Ages 3–5 will enjoy the banner, the sign and the animal cut-outs with a little help, while ages 6–8 can manage the dish, apron and door hanger on their own. A few of the new designs carry a small framed reference picture showing the finished craft, and on some the artwork runs right to the page edges — print them as they are and cut along the dashed lines. The three new colour-in pages — the dream catcher, the sensory bag and the wall hanging — have no dashed cut lines: colour them in first, then cut along their outlines.
