A single oak fills this tree coloring page, from two spreading roots up to a big bumpy treetop shaped a little like a cloud. Three small leafy curls are drawn inside the treetop. On the thick trunk there is an oval hole, a curled knot and two short bark lines, and two acorns sit on the ground, one on each side, each with a cap and a tiny curled stem.
Room for bark and leaves
There are 9 spaces to color on both pages. Bold outlines on the easy page suit ages 3 to 5, thick crayons and big, sweeping strokes across the treetop. Shading the bark or drawing leaves inside the treetop is easier on the standard page, where thinner lines leave more room for ages 6 to 8.
Seasons, science and stories
An oak fits lessons on seasons, forests and life cycles. Children can make it green for summer or orange and brown for autumn, or color four copies, one for each season. The hole in the trunk invites a story about who might live inside. Because the tree fills the sheet, print the A4 or US Letter file at 100 percent and it keeps its full size.
What to color
- A big, bumpy treetop shaped like a cloud
- Three small leafy curls inside the treetop
- A thick trunk with an oval hole, a knot and two bark lines
- Two roots that spread out at the base of the trunk
- Two acorns on the ground, each with a cap and a little stem
Tips
- Try several greens in the treetop, or red, orange and yellow for an autumn oak.
- Color the hole in the trunk dark brown or black so it looks deep.
- Use a lighter brown for the acorn nuts and a darker one for the caps.
- Press lightly on the big treetop and build up the color in layers.
- Add grass, a squirrel or falling leaves around the tree when the page is done.
Tree fun facts
- Acorns are the nuts of oak trees, and each one holds a seed that can grow into a new oak.
- Most oaks are at least 20 years old before they grow their first acorns.
- There are around 500 kinds of oak trees in the world.
Classroom ideas
- Pre-K (ages 4 to 5): talk about the four seasons and color the treetop to match today's weather.
- Kindergarten: count the acorns, roots and leafy curls, then write each total beside the tree.
- Grade 2: label treetop, trunk, root, bark and acorn, then write two sentences on how an acorn becomes an oak.
- Grade 3: color four copies of the oak, one for each season, for a wall display.

Frequently asked questions
Where is there room to shade the bark and the treetop?
On the standard page, where thinner lines leave more room for shading the bark or drawing leaves inside the treetop at ages 6 to 8. The easy page has thick outlines for ages 3 to 5, and both show the same oak with 9 spaces to color.
How many acorns, roots and curls are there?
Two acorns, two roots and three leafy curls inside the treetop. Kindergartners can count each group and write the totals beside the tree.
Which other tree activities are there?
The same oak appears in a 6-step drawing guide, dot to dots with 30, 42 or 64 dots, two tracing sheets and a 3-color color by number.
Can the tree be colored for autumn?
Yes. Many oak leaves turn yellow, orange or brown in autumn, so a warm treetop works as well as a green one.
