And although autumn is already coming to an end, and everyone is looking for it with all their might, the theme of autumn leaves is popular at all times.
Handicrafts are especially fond of the maple leaf, a template of which I am giving you today in different variations. It is so unusual, beautiful, and the color of this leaf can be very different - yellow, orange, red, not to mention green.
In general, it is not surprising, but a maple leaf stencil can be found quickly and easily.
Where? In nature itself, of course! We go to the nearest park for shopping, collect fallen leaves - and voila! - a sketch from which we will draw in our hands.
There is nothing easier than attaching a leaf (after straightening it, of course) to the paper and carefully tracing it. You can then complete the “web” of lines yourself. Or you can use contour to get an unusual effect.
But, unfortunately, this tree does not grow in all regions of Russia - this is the case. Someone didn’t have time to make a herbarium during the summer-autumn, and in winter it’s no longer possible - that’s two. Well, it’s so easy to print out a picture without leaving home and start creating, right?
Still, I encourage you to walk more often (especially if you have children) in the fresh air. Children can be taught to make beautiful wreaths from maple leaves. Well, dry the leaves, of course. You can always make beautiful and original crafts from them.
Very large size of the leaf image (useful for large-scale painting):
In general, choose any one to suit your taste! 
Patterns of autumn leaves are used for various purposes - window dressing, holidays, matinees in schools and kindergartens, etc.
Using these templates, you can make leaves with your own hands from a variety of types of paper, and also use them as a template for fabric appliqués.
If you need to make leaves from colored paper, it is better to use paper that is colored on both sides. But you can also take white paper and then color it with paints or pencils.
Take a closer look at the leaves of the trees - how they are colored, how the veins are located on the leaf. Everything that nature has created is perfect, and we can only try to get closer to this perfection.

Leaf patterns
Outlines of a MAPLE leaf.
The maple leaf is the most beautiful. Its carved shape with pentagonal protrusions and its vibrant fall colors make it the king of all fall crafts. We offer you several types of maple leaves in clear and large patterns.
All pictures are presented in enlarged format (up to A4 sheet size). You can see the actual size of the picture if you click on it with your mouse. 
The maple leaf template can serve as a stencil for a variety of crafts. Here is one of the interesting ideas AUTUMN GARLAND. We take a regular white New Year's garland and wrap the white LED light bulbs with yellow transparent tape (electrical tape). And from yellow plastic (sold in sheets in hardware stores) we cut out the contours of maple leaves. We attach them next to the LED light bulbs.
A variety of shapes of maple leaf templates... with smooth smooth edges and torn carved ones.

You can print out maple leaf designs on sheets for art activities with kids. Their task will be to cover the leaves with plasticine pellets (autumn colors - orange, yellow, red) ... or paint the leaves with wax crayons. The colors of the crayons can be mixed by rubbing them with your fingers on the paper. 
You can come up with absolutely any coloring for your maple leaf template. Let it be patterns or stripes or round spots.
Little children will love this smiling autumn leaf. This template can be painted with watercolors - the eyes and smile will shine through the watercolor. 
OAK leaf patterns.
with acorns.
Oak leaves look beautiful in crafts. Here are beautiful large oak leaf templates for you. And also a black and white drawing of acorns with caps.
It is convenient to paint such large leaf patterns with a brush and gouache. Children will love this drawing activity. The contours and veins of the leaves can later be outlined with black gouache for contrast. 
Based on such stencil templates with oak leaves, you can make beautiful crafts for drawing or cutting appliqué.
I described how to make a craft with oak leaves (pictured below) in the article

STRIPED COLORING.
Coloring silhouettes using the CONTRAST STRIPS method looks very nice. That is, we take a regular coloring book with leaf templates and draw straight lines on top of the picture under a ruler. And then we paint all the objects on the sheet alternating these linear zones by color.
In the example below, we see that the coloring is drawn using a compass (round lines) - but these are not necessarily your lines, you can make them with a straight school ruler.
Here are suitable leaf templates that you can draw onto stripes (straight or arced stripes) and then paint in the same style. I alternate the pencils from strip to strip and use different colors for the background areas and different colors for the leaf areas.
Leaf patterns
for SECTOR COLORING.
Very beautiful crafts on the theme of autumn will be obtained if the template of the autumn leaf is divided into sectors and each sector is painted separately with similar shades of the palette or, conversely, with contrasting colors.
You get the feeling of STAINED GLASS... as if the picture was made up of multi-colored pieces of glass. But in fact, this is ordinary watercolor, or crayons, or pencil (your choice).
As you can see, everything is simple. We take a sheet template and divide it into sectors. We paint each sector with its own color (it is possible with smooth transitions of spills of shades from one to another) And then we outline the entire outline of the sheet along the edges with a clear color.
To make your work easier, I provide leaf TEMPLATES with ALREADY READY sector sawing.
You can simply print out these pictures and give them to the children and ask them to color each sector with different colored crayons. To make coloring faster, you don’t have to change the chalk in your hand every time you move to a new sector. Show the children that it will be faster if you first take a red chalk and color 5-7 different sectors with it (not adjacent ones, but randomly). Then take a yellow chalk and also randomly fill in 5-7 other sectors. It will be faster this way, and you will fit within the time frame of the art activity class.
Large leaf templates can be filled in with a thin brush and watercolor or gouache (like the stencil below).
Leaf patterns
for APPLICATIONS
In kindergarten, leaf templates can be used as stencils for autumn-themed appliqués.
Such leaves made of colored paper can become a background or decor for any application (mushrooms in the foliage or a hedgehog in an autumn meadow).
You can make a paper autumn wreath from such contours - a collective craft in kindergarten (the older group can already cut out leaf shapes with scissors).
