Activities to Do With Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
These printables are great for quiet time, but you can also use them for creative holiday crafts. Here are a few ways to get more use out of your pages.
Create DIY Place Cards
Print several copies of smaller images, like the pumpkins or individual leaves. Have your kids color them in, cut them out, and glue them onto folded cardstock. Write each guest’s name on the card for a personalized touch at the dinner table.
Make a Gratitude Garland
Use the “Thankful Tree” or leaf coloring pages for this activity. After coloring, cut out the leaves and punch a hole at the top of each one. Thread a piece of twine through the holes and hang the garland across your mantelpiece or dining room window.
Design Custom Greeting Cards
Shrink the coloring pages down using your printer settings to fit half a page. Once printed, fold the paper to create a greeting card. Your kids can color the front, and you can write a sweet message inside to mail to grandparents or distant relatives.
Laminate for Placemats
Keep the kids entertained at the “kids’ table” by turning their artwork into placemats. Once they finish coloring a page, run it through a laminator (or use clear contact paper). It protects the table from spills and gives them a sense of pride during the meal.
Story Starter
Pick a scene, such as the Pilgrim Family or the Harvesting Pumpkins page. Ask your child to color the image and then tell you a story about what is happening in the picture. Write their story on the back of the page to preserve the memory.
FAQs
What Is the Best Paper for Printing Coloring Pages?
Standard printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. If your child prefers markers or watercolors, opt for cardstock or heavyweight paper to prevent the ink from bleeding through to the other side.
How Can I Use These Pages to Teach Gratitude?
Use the specific “Thankful Tree” page or the blank spaces on the cornucopia sheets. Encourage your child to draw or write things they are happy to have in their life, such as family, pets, or their favorite toys.
Are These Coloring Sheets Suitable for Toddlers?
Yes, many of the designs feature thick outlines and simple shapes. Look for the “Cute Turkey,” “Simple Preschool Cornucopia,” and “Kindergarten Pumpkin Fun” pages, as these are specifically designed for developing motor skills.
Can I Use Markers on These Pages?
Absolutely. Markers add vibrant color that pops. Just remember to put a scrap piece of paper underneath the coloring sheet if you are using standard copy paper to protect your table from bleed-through.
