Free Printable Fall Bookmarks to Color

These printable fall bookmarks were one of those simple ideas that actually got used, again and again.

We first tried them during a cozy afternoon read-aloud, and they ended up being more than just a coloring activity.

My son liked the little maze and scarecrow on one side, and the book review prompts on the other gave us an easy way to talk about what he read without it feeling like schoolwork.

If you’re looking for a creative way to blend reading with fall fun, these bookmarks are a great place to start.

Fall Bookmarks to Color

These free printable bookmarks to color do more than just hold your place, they turn reading into something interactive and creative.

We ended up using them during our fall reading challenge, and they quickly became a favorite.

The printable includes two bookmark designs, one featuring “Fall” and one featuring “Autumn,” each with a book review on one side and seasonal illustrations to color on the other.

Each bookmark includes space for:

• Book title and author
• Star rating out of 5
• A sketch of their favorite scene or character
• A short story summary

On the coloring side, they’ll find cozy fall elements like:

• Happy Fall or Happy Autumn bunting
• A jack-o’-lantern or pumpkin maze
• A scarecrow or a pumpkin-filled wagon
• Pumpkins with fall-themed signs

If your kids enjoy themed writing too, they might like our free Scarecrow acrostic poem printable.

How to use the Printable Fall Bookmark?

You’ll find the two free fall bookmarks at the bottom of this post. We like to print them on cardstock for durability, but regular paper works fine too.

Here’s what we do:

1. Print the bookmarks (white or colored paper both work)
2. Cut around the dotted line (a paper cutter saves time, but scissors work too)
3. Fold in half and glue the sides together
4. Color the fall images
5. Fill out the book review after finishing a story

Each finished bookmark measures 2.5 x 8.5 inches, just the right size for most chapter books, and fun to tuck into your child’s next read.

Fall Books for Kids

Pairing these printable fall bookmarks with a few seasonal stories makes reading even more fun.

These are some of our favorite fall books that we’ve returned to year after year, perfect for read-alouds or independent reading time.

• There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves! – A silly, rhyming story with lots of laughs. Great for early readers who enjoy repetition and surprise endings.
• Pete The Cat Falling for Autumn – Pete isn’t sure about fall at first, but his adventures help him warm up to the season, with plenty of fun and friendship along the way.
• Fletcher and the Falling Leaves – A gentle, beautifully illustrated book about change and letting go. One of our favorite quiet-time reads.
• Pumpkin Jack – A thoughtful story about the pumpkin life cycle that’s great for combining science and storytelling.

These books pair perfectly with the fall-themed reading activity. Kids can fill out the review side after each book, making it both fun and meaningful.
