Activities to Do With Turkey Coloring Pages
Don’t just color and toss them aside! There are dozens of ways to use these pages to create lasting memories and fun decorations. Here are a few creative ideas to get the most out of your printables.
Thanksgiving Placemats
Print the simpler turkey designs on standard paper or cardstock. Let the kids color them in while the adults prep dinner. Once they are finished, laminate the pages or use clear contact paper to seal them. Now you have custom, wipeable placemats for the kids’ table that they can be proud of!
Pin the Feather on the Turkey
This is a festive twist on the classic party game. Print out a large turkey coloring page and have your child color the body. Cut out separate feather shapes from construction paper (or print extra copies of the feathers). Blindfold the players, spin them around, and see who can tape the feather closest to the correct spot.
Turkey Puppet Show
Print your favorite turkey character on heavy cardstock. After coloring, carefully cut out the turkey shape. Tape a popsicle stick or a craft straw to the back of the cutout. Your kids can now put on a Thanksgiving-themed puppet show for the family after dinner.
Gratitude Feathers
Select a turkey page with large, open feathers. Before coloring, ask your child to write one thing they are thankful for inside each feather. This is a wonderful mindfulness activity that focuses on the true meaning of the holiday while they get creative with colors.
Festive Greeting Cards
Shrink the printing scale to 50% or 25% to make smaller images. Have the kids color them, cut them out, and paste them onto folded construction paper. They can write “Happy Thanksgiving” inside and mail them to grandparents or friends who live far away.
Classroom Decor
If you are a teacher, these pages make excellent wall art. Have each student color a turkey and cut it out. Create a giant tree or a “turkey coop” on your bulletin board and display the entire flock together. It brightens up the room and gives the students a sense of community.
FAQs
What Are The Best Colors For A Realistic Turkey?
If you want your turkey to look like a real wild bird, reach for earth tones. Use various shades of brown, bronze, and black for the body feathers. The head and neck usually feature red, white, and blue skin tones. However, if you are just having fun, feel free to use purple, pink, or any color you like!
What Paper Weight Is Best For Coloring?
For standard crayons and colored pencils, regular printer paper (20lb) works perfectly fine. If you plan on using markers, watercolors, or gel pens, we recommend printing on cardstock (65lb or heavier). This prevents the ink from bleeding through and ruining the surface underneath.
Are These Coloring Pages Free To Use?
Yes, these pages are free for personal and educational use. You can print as many as you need for your family, classroom, or scout troop. However, they are not intended for commercial resale.
How Can I Use These Pages For Education?
Turkey coloring pages are great for combining art with science or history. While coloring, you can discuss facts about wild turkeys, their habitat, and their diet. You can also talk about the history of Thanksgiving and why the turkey became a symbol of the holiday.
Can Toddlers Use These Coloring Pages?
Absolutely! We have included several “simple” and “cute” designs specifically for younger children. These pages have thick lines and large spaces that make it easier for toddlers to color without getting frustrated.
How Do I Print A Specific Page?
You don’t have to print the entire collection if you only want one image. When you click print, look at your printer settings dialog box. Select “Custom” or “Pages” and type in the page number of the specific turkey you want to print.
