Last updated: August 19, 2026 by the Homemade Gifts Coloring Team
For most kids, September is analogous with one thing: back to school. September coloring pages are our way of easing the transition, because everything about september is gorgeous and worthy of coloring, from the leaves to the slightly cooler days, to the breezes of the fresh fall. These free, printable September coloring pages show kids having fun getting ready for school, as well as happy fall critters and cozy September scenes.
Collect your September coloring pages while you watch the weather cool off after summer ends. Whether you're already looking forward to a cozy autumn or want to turn back to school into a fun activity full of coloring sounds. You can pick a whole bushel of apples or take home a fun forest critter. Choose as many as you like and click on the image or the text link to download. Then gather the kids around for September fun.

Using September Coloring Pages for Back to School
September coloring pages can be more than fun. They can also help your kids transition to the school year and a structured schedule if they’ve been running wild during summer vacation.
Learn Your Letters
It’s super easy to teach letters while enjoying free September coloring pages. This is as simple as pairing a coloring page with an appropriate letter. If it’s a squirrel with a nut, then you can present it as S for squirrel. You can show an apple page and explain that A is for apple. Make sure you either write the letter on the page or explain it out loud so that your child associates their September coloring page with the appropriate letter.
Create a Storybook
Encourage your kids to create and stretch their imaginations! Let them choose a few September coloring pages for kids. They should arrange the pages into an “order” that makes sense to them. Then you can staple the pages together for them. Let them color, but also encourage them to write a story about their coloring pages. Bonus points if they can connect all their coloring pages into one story.
Have Structured Learning Time
The simple act of enjoying September coloring pages can be a helpful learning activity. After running free all summer, it’s good to get kids ready for school simply by having them do a quiet, focused activity at home. Maybe you could have a set time for coloring. This simple act can get kids back into the habit of having a schedule and routine, and that will serve them well when school starts up again.
