This fall leaf drawing game for kids combines two of our favorite things: drawing games and leaf doodling into one fun Autumn drawing game.

Updated August 2024

If you haven’t tried any of our favorite drawing games, you must! Drawing games are great for connecting and having fun with your kids.

They are also a super easy way to be creative. They don’t require many materials (most only use paper and drawing tool) and don’t make any mess.

Here’s an activity that our founder, Jean, came up with that combines two favorite things: drawing games and doodling on leaves.

Here’s how to play this game.

MATERIALS

  • Autumn leaves
  • A color photocopier
  • Drawing materials (we especially liked using metallic Sharpies)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Photocopy leaves

    First, photocopy an assortment of fall leaves onto paper with a sheet for each person playing.

    This was an idea from Jean, who thought that if drawing directly on leaves is fun, then drawing on leaf paper might be interesting to try as well.

  2. Play Simon Says Draw!

    One person can be Simon and direct the other players to draw shapes, images, and designs on their paper. They can use the photocopied leaves in their designs or draw around them.

  3. Play another round

    When you’ve filled your paper, play another round. Or try playing a different drawing game!

The nice thing about drawing on photocopies of leaves is that you don’t have to press them first. You can also make any leaf arrangement you like on the copy machine – even leaf people!
