FREE Autumn Fairies Coloring Pages!

Celebrate the changing of the leaves with Autumn Fairies!

Fall is such a special time for kiddos. The start of school and trick-or-treat come in quick succession. And of course there is one of nature’s most eye catching spectacles-

The changing colors of the leaves.🍁🍁🍁

To celebrate this crispy, fresh time of year I created an illustration to accompany the super cute poem by Sarah Meade, Autumn Fairies (you can read about how I created those illustrations here). When I was done I thought, “This would be such a fun set of coloring pages to share with kids!”

So here they are! 3 coloring pages featuring super cute autumn fairies that I have put together just for you.

Choosing your Autumn Fairies Color Palette

There is a super fun way that kiddos can build their artistic skills with these Autumn Fairy coloring pages. Pick an autumn palette! We don’t have to be professional artists to think like professionals! Have your kiddo go through their marker or crayon box and pull out the following colors:

Sky blue (for the autumn sky)
Grey (for rolling clouds)
Orange
Yellow
Yellow Orange
Red
Burgundy
Brown
Purple
A handful of greens ( but not too many! And the more neutral the better)

You can check out which colors I used in my Autumn Fairies illustration to see this palette in action!

How to Use Your Autumn Fairies Coloring Pages

Decorate the front door! Pick one fairy to color and hang it on your front door. I have my website on the bottom of each page in case you want more down the road but forgot where they came from. I know I’m awesome but if you decide not to have my name plastered all over your front door, just cut the bottom off. I will not be offended!
Make garlands! Print out 5 copies of the coloring page and color in the children. Then cut them out, tape them onto a long piece of string, and festoon your home with a beautiful garland!
Collage your Autumn Fairies into an autumn scene! After you’ve colored in your coloring page, go outside and grab some colorful leaves off the ground. Paste them onto your drawing to make a lovely, natural collage!
Create cardboard cut outs. After coloring your page, glue it to an old cereal or cracker box. Then cut out the people and add a stand on the back. They can sit on your mantel, nestled in a pile of autumn leaves or even feature in a diorama!
Make “Happy Autumn” cards! Print out your free coloring pages on a 25% setting. Then after coloring them, cut them out, and put them on folded paper as a gift to friends and family. Help get everyone into the autumn spirit!
Make Pop-Up Cards! Once you have gone to town with your markers and crayons, cut out the fairies on your coloring sheet and apply them to a pop up box in a pop-up card! Another fun way to honor this important holiday with school mates, family and friends!

Use These Autumn Fairy Coloring Pages at School!

Teachers, these imaginative autumn fairies are also PERFECT for the classroom! If you’re looking for fun ways to bring beautiful artwork and whimsy into your classroom this fall, these 3 coloring pages can be used in the following ways:

As delightful morning work. Print out, plop next to a can of crayons, and let the coloring begin!
PRESCHOOL. Practice counting TO 3. Give the 3 print outs to each child, have them color their fairies, and then have them cut out the fairies and paste them on colorful construction paper above the numbers 1, 2 and 3! Practice 1:1 association by counting the numbers out.
K-4. Practice counting BY 3’s. Practice multiplication by having your students put all their fairies out in an array and then solving for how many there are!
Investigate Autumn Colors. Print out your autumn fairies and put a picture of a fall photograph up on your big screen. Give each table of students a bunch of markers (including some from the fall palette listed above and others not) and ask them to make their own fall palette! Have them present their palette by showing off their beautiful coloring page.
