Their are 7 leaves on the black and white leaf printable page. Not only does printing in blackline save on printer ink, but it allows students to decorate their own leaves in fall colors. Their are lots of different types of leaves with various shapes in the leaf worksheet including oak, dogwood, beech, maple, aspen, hickory, birch, and more.
Leaf Painting for Kids
To make this super cute leaf wreath craft, you need the following materials:

- watercolor paint and a paintbrush
- scissors
- double-sided tape (or regular tape)
- optional: additional decorations (ribbon, fall-themed stickers, mini-pinecones, acorns, etc) and a way to attach it to the paper plate (some things may need hot glue)

Printable Leaves
After you have coloured all the free leaf template using crayons, markers, colored pencils, watercolor, tempera paint, oil pastels, or whatever other art supply you choose to use, let the page dry completely.
Leaf Wreath Template
Use scissors to cut out the entire center of a paper plate. Now cut out all of the beautiful fall colored leaves you decorated.
Leaf Craft for Kids
To complete your leaf wreath craft for kids, use double-sided tape or glue to attach the leaves to attach them to the plate. We didn’t have double-sided tape on hand, so we used rolled regular tape to complete our leaf craft.
Hint: We choose not to use glue because we wanted to be able to reposition the leaves as we attached them in case we needed more or less room.
Now the leaf wreath project is complete! You can leave it as is, or you can add additional decorations.
Fall Leaf Craft for Kids
We chose a scrap piece of burlap ribbon to complete our super cute fall leaf craft and hung the wreath on our front door. How pretty! We are ready for fall! Happy Fall Ya’ll!
