A whole autumn day of quiet, screen-free colouring and learning — from waking up to bedtime.
When the afternoons draw in and the rain sets in, it helps to have something ready to print that will keep little ones happily busy for more than five minutes. This Autumn Colour & Learn Book is 30 pages of hand-drawn woodland friends, autumn treasures and gentle learning activities, made for children aged 4–7 to colour, count, spot, draw and chat their way through.
The pages follow a soft story arc, so it feels like a book rather than a pile of worksheets. A sleepy squirrel wakes up, the friends have breakfast together, there's a scavenger hunt in the leaves, apple bobbing, an apple pie, a toffee apple, and finally a bedtime story. Children want to see what happens next, which means they keep going.
What's in the book
Twenty-one colouring pages featuring the woodland friends — squirrel, hedgehog, owl, fox and robin — in scenes like Time to wake up, Breakfast time, Swinging squirrel, Cosy corner, Reading time, Apple pie, Toadstool, Friendly fox, Autumn harvest, Warm and cosy, Hibernating hedgehog, Apple bobbing, Gathering for winter, Toffee apple and Bedtime story, plus a full page of autumn leaves to colour.
Nine learning and nature activities: Who is getting ready for autumn? (colour the animals and talk about how each one prepares for colder weather), Count the autumn treasures, an Autumn Scavenger Hunt to take outside, What should we wear for a rainy walk?, an Autumn pattern path, Autumn Spot the difference, and three draw-your-own pages — Who could live here?, Who lives here? and What can you see in autumn?
There's a grown-up answer guide at the back and a "You Did It!" page to finish on, because a small sense of achievement matters at this age.

You'll receive two PDF files: A4 for UK and European printers and US Letter for the US and Canada. Each is 34 pages (30 activity pages plus cover, terms, answer guide and finishing page), in clean black-and-white line art that prints well on any home printer.
