Free Printable Colors Of Fall: Emergent Reader
Fall is here, and it’s bringing all the gorgeous colors with it!
From the deep reds of falling leaves to the bright orange of pumpkins, this season is the perfect time to teach kids about colors.
That’s why I created My Little Book of Fall Colors, a printable booklet designed especially for kids who are learning to recognize and name colors.
And guess what?
I’m sharing it with you for free! (Get it at the end of this post 😉)
This little book can help your little ones explore fall-themed objects while learning to recognize and name their colors.
By associating colors with familiar items—like orange pumpkins, red ladybugs, and yellow leaves—kids better grasp color concepts.
This book is also a great tool for introducing new vocabulary.
And it helps develop fine motor skills. While painting, kids practice hand-eye coordination and muscle control, which are essential for writing later on.
Sounds great?
Let’s have your kids explore the vibrant world of fall, one color at a time!
How To Make This Activity Book
We like to have kids involved in the creation of their book.
It gives them the chance to reinforce motor skills as they cut and assemble it (with your help).
And it also boosts their confidence, as they’ll feel proud to have made their own book.
To get started, print your PDF on regular paper or cardstock.
Let your kids cut the pages through the dashed lines.
Arrange the pages in any order you like and staple them on the left side.
Get your art materials. You will need orange, yellow, brown, purple, red, blue, pink, and green coloring pencils, crayons, or markers.
How To Use This Book Of Colors
Start by making your kids color and decorate the cover of their book as they want. Let them add their own drawings, use stickers, or add glittery glue.
The more involved your child is in the creative process, the more fun they will have and the more they will learn.
At this point, you can also ask your kid about what they have seen in fall and how it differs from other seasons.
Then, you can move to the coloring pages.
Help your kids identify the objects and ask them:
– “What do you see?”
– “Do you like ___?”
– “What color do you think ___ are/is?”
– “Have you seen ___ in person?”
– “How many ____ can you count?”
Asking questions like those encourages them to use descriptive words and builds their vocabulary.
Read the sentence at the bottom of the page and help your kids identify the words.
Use the index finger to trace the color name and then use a marker or pencil of that color to write the word over the traceable text.
Let your child color the objects using the color mentioned on the page. If you can, use multiple shades of the same color.
Once you complete the mini-book, you can read it aloud.
Encourage your child to count the objects once more and read the words. This strengthens their ability to count, match numbers to objects, and reinforces their vocabulary
You can also take your child on a nature walk to collect some of the items they colored. Use this free printable Fall Scavenger Hunt to make it even more fun!
