- Writing: The cozy mug and the bare tree start a five senses poem about late fall.
- Seasons units: Put the golden tree next to pictures from our winter clipart page to show how one tree changes.

Printing and Cutting Autumn Leaves
A downloaded leaf is 1000 pixels square. Printed at 300 dpi it stays crisp to about 3 inches wide, which covers garlands, place cards and stickers. For a giant bulletin board leaf, use the silhouette or outline files, since flat black edges hold up better when stretched.
To cut a leaf garland quickly, fold a sheet in half before you cut so you get two leaves at once. Thin stems tear easily, so leave a little extra paper around them. Print outlines on colored copy paper and you get a red or yellow leaf without using any color ink at all.
Picking Fall Colors for Your Page
| Mood | Leaf colors | Background idea |
|---|---|---|
| Early fall | Green, yellow, gold | White or pale yellow |
| Peak autumn | Red, orange, rust | Cream or kraft |
| Late fall | Brown, plum, gray | Soft gray or chalkboard |
Use the background preview to test each pick. Red maple leaves glow on chalkboard, and brown acorns look warm on kraft paper.
