Coloring order

Color the owl's brown feathers, cream face and two ear tufts first, and make the big round pupils dark.
Alternate red, orange and yellow leaves and brown acorns on the wreath being made and on the finished one at right, so the two look alike.
Last, do the squirrel and the acorn basket, the ribbon spool and glue bottle, the two pumpkins and the leaves on the branch above.

Questions to talk about

Where will the owl hang the finished wreath?
What is the squirrel thinking as it holds that acorn?
What things from nature would you use to decorate your home or classroom?

Take it further

Glue leaves from a walk around the rim of a paper plate to make your own autumn wreath, then tie on a ribbon. An adult helps with the glue.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
