Part of Tinkerchalk’s 31 Days of Zero-Spook Fall Fun
One of the best parts of autumn is watching the leaves swirl through the air — just like in Disney’s Pocahontas! Today’s activity brings a little of that magic into your homeschool day with a fun, hands-on leaf-matching challenge your kids will love.
🌿 Activity: Match the Leaves
This printable activity sheet features pairs of whimsical leaf shapes inspired by the iconic swirling leaves in Pocahontas. Your child’s mission is to match each leaf on the left to its pair on the right by drawing a line between them.
Not only is this activity fun, but it also:
- ✏️ Strengthens visual discrimination skills
- 🧠 Builds early logic and matching abilities
- 🌈 Encourages fine motor control as kids draw their lines and color the designs
Once all the leaves are matched, there’s a “Now Color” section at the bottom to bring the page to life with beautiful fall hues — oranges, reds, yellows, and browns. Encourage your kids to think about the colors they see outside this time of year and use those for inspiration.
🍁 Homeschool Tip
You can extend this activity by:
- Taking a short nature walk to collect real leaves and compare them to the ones on the page.
- Sorting real leaves by shape, size, or color to build early science and observation skills.
- Reading a fall-themed story afterward to tie it all together.
✨ Why We Love It
This simple printable blends creativity and learning, making it perfect for a morning warm-up activity, a quiet afternoon project, or to include in your fall unit study.
