What’s Included

• 22 printable pages of leaf templates
• Maple, oak, and classic fall leaf shapes
• Single leaf pages for big, bold cutouts
• Grid layout pages with multiple leaf outlines per sheet
• Portrait orientation with clean page borders
• Minimal black line art, built for coloring or cutting

Features & Benefits

• The single and grid layouts are what make this set actually useful.
• Need one giant leaf for a door display? Print a single page.
• Need a bunch of small ones for a whole class of kids? The grid pages have you covered.
• Just simple, recognizable fall shapes that work for coloring, cutting, and tracing.
• The black line art prints clean on any home printer. No ink-guzzling color blocks. Your printer will thank you.
• I loooooove that these double as both a fall leaf template printable pdf and a set of free stencils. One download, a dozen different projects.
• Because the outlines are simple, they also work great as cutting templates for kids who are still working on scissor skills. Big shapes, clear lines, no tiny details to fight with.

Who It’s For

• Elementary teachers building a fall-themed classroom decor display
• Homeschool parents doing a leaf unit or nature study
• Moms planning a Sunday afternoon craft with the kids
• Anyone prepping Halloween or fall party decorations
• Scout leaders or Sunday school teachers who need quick, printable leaf outlines

How to Use It

1. Download and print the pages you need (single leaves or the grid sheets)
2. Cut out the leaf shapes along the black outline
3. Use as-is for coloring, or trace onto colored cardstock for a sturdier cutout
4. Hang on a bulletin board, string into a garland, or scatter across a table for a fall centerpiece
5. Save the PDF so you can reprint next year (or the year after that)

Teacher Tip: Print the grid pages on colored cardstock instead of white paper. Skips the coloring step entirely and still looks adorable on a bulletin board.

Turning These Into Stencils

Because the outlines are so clean, these work great as leaf template printable pdf stencils too. Trace onto felt, foam sheets, or fabric for no-sew crafts. Trace onto wood or canvas if you’re feeling extra crafty. The simple oak leaf template printable and maple leaf template printable shapes hold up well no matter what surface you’re tracing onto.

They’re sturdy enough to use over and over, which is a win if you’ve got multiple kids (or multiple classrooms) that need the same shapes.

Classroom Decor & Craft Ideas

• String cut-out leaves into a fall garland for the classroom door
• Use the large leaf template printable size for a bulletin board tree
• Have kids write “I’m thankful for…” on a leaf shape for a gratitude tree
• Pair with the pumpkin carving stencils for a full fall craft station
• Trace onto colored paper for a quick, no-mess fall art project

Is it just me, or does every classroom need at least one leaf garland by October? Non-negotiable.

More Fall & Craft Use Cases

These leaf outlines aren’t just for classrooms. Use them for:

• Fall wreaths and door decor at home
• Scrapbooking and card-making
• Nature journal tracing pages for homeschool
• Classroom theme refreshes when September rolls around
• Cutting templates for felt or foam fall crafts with little hands

If you’re working through a whole month of seasonal printables, this one slots in easily alongside your other fall and Halloween prep.
