We all know that the most important think about Thanksgiving is spending time with the people we love. But there also tends to be a lot to do during Thanksgiving week – making your favorite Thanksgiving recipes like mashed potatoes and no-bake pumpkin pie, cleaning, and even setting out fun Thanksgiving place settings. Thanksgiving coloring pages are a great way to keep kids entertained while you’re working on all of those things. Pair them with these printable Thanksgiving placemats and a few of these simple Thanksgiving games and your kids will be entertained the entire time the turkey is in the oven! Thanksgiving coloring pages can also be a great activity to do during the week of Thanksgiving at school. That is if your kids are in school during Thanksgiving week. This year we have a fall break during Thanksgiving week, which is kind of a bummer honestly because who really wants to travel that week if you don’t have to? I’d prefer being able to have a fall break during the actual fall so I can enjoy things like Halloween at Disneyland! Anyway, print these out and let kids enjoy a little coloring. Then when you’re done, you could hang them up for everyone to see or just put them in a folder until it’s time to take out the trash.
Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
This set of coloring pages includes ten different Thanksgiving images from turkeys to pilgrims and of course pie! Print out the ones you want or print them all – totally up to you! These Thanksgiving coloring pages can be completed with crayons, markers, or colored pencils. Choose whatever you think is the most age appropriate or just provide them all! I personally like coloring with markers so that’s what we used but whatever works best for your family is what works best for these pages!
Expert Tips
Provide a variety of coloring supplies with the coloring pages so people can choose what they like to use best, just stay away from anything permanent. Use a paper or plastic tablecloth underneath your coloring surface so that when the kids who can’t stay in the lines color on the table, they aren’t ruining your table. It’s going to happen so just be prepared. Let kids get creative! There’s no right or wrong option for coloring. If they want a green turkey, let them have a green turkey and share their artistic side. It’s just for fun.
