Free September Coloring Pages
September coloring pages are a simple way to celebrate the beginning of fall, the new school year, and everything that makes this month feel a little different from summer.
This printable set includes apples, changing leaves, sunflowers, woodland animals, school supplies, harvest scenes, and even a pirate page for Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Whether you need a quiet classroom activity, something for an early finisher, or just an easy seasonal printable, these coloring sheets give kids plenty to choose from throughout the month.

What’s Included in the September Coloring Pages
There are 8 printable coloring pages in this September set, with a mix of seasonal, school, nature, and holiday themes.
The designs include:
- September apples, leaves, acorns, and sunflowers
- Apple orchard and apple-picking scene
- Woodland trail with birds, squirrels, hedgehogs, and mushrooms
- Sunflower garden with butterflies and fall leaves
- Back-to-school supplies, books, backpack, and school bus
- Fall woodland animals including a fox, squirrel, and hedgehog
- Harvest farm with pumpkins, corn, apples, and sunflowers
- Pirate ship, treasure map, treasure chest, and anchor
September is one of those months where summer hasn’t completely disappeared, but fall is definitely starting to take over.
You can see that throughout this set. There are still plenty of sunflowers and outdoor scenes, but they’re mixed with apples, acorns, falling leaves, pumpkins, woodland animals, and harvest produce.
The apple pages are especially good for September lessons. Kids can color baskets of apples, an apple tree, and an orchard scene while you’re learning about the changing seasons, farms, or where food comes from.
There’s also a detailed woodland coloring page featuring birds, a squirrel, hedgehog, mushrooms, pinecones, and a small bridge. It works nicely alongside nature study or a fall walk when kids start noticing what’s changing outside.
The back-to-school page includes a backpack, crayons, pencils, books, scissors, glue, paper, a ruler, apples, and a school bus. So if your school year starts in September, or everyone has finally settled into the routine by then, this one fits perfectly.
And because September 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day, I had to include a pirate-themed page too. Kids can color a pirate ship, lighthouse, treasure chest, map, anchor, coins, and plenty of treasure.
More September Activities for Kids
These coloring sheets work really well alongside other September printables, especially if you’re putting together seasonal activities for the whole month.
September word search – An easy seasonal vocabulary activity for quiet work, morning time, or early finishers.
September word scramble – Kids can unscramble September-themed words while practicing spelling and vocabulary.
Apple coloring pages – Perfect alongside the orchard and apple coloring pages, especially for an early fall science or seasonal unit.
Fall worksheets – Add more leaves, pumpkins, woodland animals, and other autumn activities as the weather begins to change.
The different themes also mean you don’t have to use all eight coloring sheets at once. Pull out the school page at the beginning of the month, use the apple and sunflower pages later, and save the harvest and woodland scenes as you get closer to fall.
Books to Read With Kids in September
A few seasonal books can turn the coloring pages into a very easy September activity without adding much prep.
How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World – A fun choice to pair with the apple orchard pages, with plenty of opportunities to talk about ingredients, geography, and where food comes from.
The Busy Little Squirrel – A lovely match for the woodland animal coloring sheets as a squirrel gets ready for fall.
The Leaf Thief – A funny fall story about a squirrel trying to work out what keeps happening to the leaves on his tree.
You could also pair the pirate coloring page with a favorite pirate picture book for Talk Like a Pirate Day.
