Thanksgiving here is mostly about the table. Dad carves while the dog peeks over the edge, grandpa snores in his armchair, and peas ski down a mountain of mashed potatoes.
Some pages wait for you to finish them: an empty plate to draw your dinner on, place cards, bingo and color by number. Print a PDF for the kids' table or color online.
Coloring is the start. Pick one mission and the page becomes yours.
1Write one thing you are thankful for on each blank feather of the thankful turkey.
2Draw your own Thanksgiving dinner on the empty plate: what goes in the middle, and what do you skip?
3Design your own giant balloon inside the empty outline on the parade page, then add who is waving at it.
4Finish the mouse story on the back of the page: where do the two mice hide the pie crust, and who comes looking?
5Write each guest's name on the place cards, cut them out, fold them and set one at every plate.
Ideas for Coloring Thanksgiving
Start with the foodColor the pies and the turkey first, then let the tablecloth and the walls follow those colors.
Crayon resist for leavesDraw the leaf veins in white or yellow crayon, brush watercolor over the leaf, and the veins stay light.
What if the turkey had blue feathers?Give each tail feather a color nobody at the table would expect.
Layered pencils for pie crustLay down a light yellow first, then add a little brown along the edges where crust bakes darker.
Three colors for the quiltPick three colors and repeat them across every patch, so the patchwork turkey still reads as one quilt.
Coloring onlineOpen a page in the online coloring tool, tap the big areas to fill them, then switch to the brush for small parts like the acorn caps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print these Thanksgiving coloring pages for a class?
Yes. Each page downloads as a PDF sized for US Letter paper, and you can print as many copies as you need for your group.
Which pages work best for younger kids?
The single-object pages, like the smiling acorn, the corn cob, the dinner roll under its butter blanket and the turkey oven mitt, have big shapes and thick outlines. The table scenes, the treehouse and the mandalas have many more small areas.
Are there pages for adults?
Yes. The pie bakery window, the hollow tree with animals cooking inside, the vintage postcard turkey, the cornucopia zentangle and the leaf and acorn mandalas have fine lines and lots of small areas to fill.
How do the color by number pages work?
Each numbered area matches a color named in the key at the bottom. Color the empty circle next to each color name first, then fill every area with the same number.
