3. Some Scenes in the Collection of Thanksgiving Coloring Sheets
What comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving? I bet a lot of you say “turkey, feast, and pies,” and I agree!
You can find all those things in our Happy Thanksgiving coloring pages. There are turkey coloring pages, feast coloring pages, and more. You can have a fun coloring journey throughout the holiday without getting bored.
Thanksgiving Turkey Coloring Pages
No Thanksgiving without turkey, right? While turkey wasn’t specifically mentioned at the first Thanksgiving feast, it became popular later.
Turkeys were abundant in North America, making them a practical and yummy option for feeding lots of people. Over time, turkey became the symbol of Thanksgiving because of its size, taste, and cultural importance.
Of course, we have turkey pictures in our Thanksgiving coloring pages! You can find realistic turkey coloring pages with lifelike sketches. You can also find cute turkey coloring sheets that look like cartoon characters.
Although turkeys are usually brown, they can be gray, black, or even white. If you want your turkey to look realistic, use colors similar to a real turkey. If you want to make it extra festive, you can use any colors you like!
Besides coloring, want to make a craft a turkey using a paper plate? This craft idea can add more fun to your holiday and get your creative juices flowing.
Thanksgiving Feast Coloring Pages
Thanksgiving is about getting together and enjoying a feast! The Thanksgiving meal is more than just delicious food. It’s a beloved tradition that brings families and friends together.
Whether you’re hosting or attending, Thanksgiving is one of the biggest meals of the year. Popular foods include turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce.
Can you guess what foods you’ll find in our Thanksgiving Feast coloring pages? Coloring Thanksgiving feast pages can be challenging because there’s so much to color. Here’s some advice:
First, start with the big things like the tablecloth or the turkey. If your page has a turkey or another main dish, color it first to help you focus.
Next, color the other delicious foods on the Thanksgiving feast!
Try shadowing, highlighting, or shading to make your coloring pages pop!
Finally, complete the background of your pictures! Think about the environment around the feast to choose background colors.
Thanksgiving Pie Coloring Pages
Pie is a favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. After a great meal, there’s nothing like a warm slice of pie. You can find all sorts of pies at Thanksgiving. You can learn about apple pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and sweet potato pie.
What’s your favorite flavor? You can color your favorite pie in our free printable Thanksgiving coloring pages! The crust is usually the first part you’ll want to color.
You can use light browns like tan, beige, or light yellow for the crust. Try adding darker brown or gold around the edges to give it a crispy look.
Now, for the fun part: the filling. You’ll use different colors to make your pie look delicious, depending on the type.
For example, use red, green, and yellow for an apple pie. For a sweet potato pie, use a rich orange or light brown. You can use a mix of light orange and tan to make the filling look creamy.
Other Scenes in Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
Besides those Thanksgiving classics, our Thanksgiving coloring pages have other scenes. For example, you can find fruit and vegetable coloring pages that show the fall harvest.
4. Thanksgiving Coloring Pages and Activities for a Fun Holiday
Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and friends. What’s a better way to celebrate than with Thanksgiving coloring pages? Here are some easy and fun activities you can do with Thanksgiving coloring pictures to make the holiday extra special.
Color and Share What You’re Thankful For
After coloring a Thanksgiving picture, encourage everyone to write or share what they’re thankful for. You can write on the back or along the border of the page.
To make it more interesting, you could create a “Thankful Tree” page. Have everyone write what they’re thankful for on each leaf. This combines being creative with reflecting, making the coloring pages fun and meaningful.
Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt
When everyone in your family is together, let’s play a game! You can turn your Thanksgiving coloring pages into a scavenger hunt.
It’s easy to make: Cut out elements from the pictures and hide them around the house or yard. Then, create clues related to the images to guide the hunt. This game gets kids moving and helps them solve problems.
Create Thanksgiving Cards
Thanksgiving is a great time to show love and gratitude. Turn the Thanksgiving coloring pages into unique cards!
Cut them into smaller pieces and fold them into cards. Then, write a nice message inside and share them with friends or family.
Thanksgiving Storytelling
Do you have any ideas for Thanksgiving night? How about having a Thanksgiving storytelling party with your kids? Use the Thanksgiving coloring sheets as the setting for your story.
Encourage the kids to create a short story based on what they colored. For example, if they colored a turkey, the story could be about the turkey’s adventures before Thanksgiving. If it’s a harvest scene, the story could be about a special farm or family traditions.
I can imagine a warm scene with families sitting around and listening to stories from the kids. Don’t miss this chance to strengthen your family bond.
Thanksgiving Trivia or Quiz
Use the finished Thanksgiving coloring pages as prompts for trivia questions. For example, if the coloring page shows a turkey, ask questions like, “How many feathers does a turkey usually have?” or “What are the origins of Thanksgiving?”
Trivia games are an interactive way to learn about Thanksgiving. Using the coloring pages as visual clues will make the quiz even more fun!
Make a Thanksgiving Collage
Making a collage is a classic craft idea that never gets old. It’s a fun way to save all the kids´ masterpieces. If you’re a parent, you can help the kids cut out the images and glue them onto a bigger piece of paper.
Let the kids make their collages however they want. They can add extra items like dried leaves, stickers, or magazine cutouts to create a Thanksgiving scene.
Turkey Dance Party
No holiday is complete without a dance party! If you’re tired of the same old dance ideas, try a turkey dance party. First, find some fun, upbeat music that you and your kids like.
Then, play the playlist, and everyone dances while holding their colored turkey pictures. You could even make a turkey “costume” by cutting out feathers and wearing them as headbands or hats.
Thanksgiving Charades
The fun’s not over yet! Use the Thanksgiving coloring pages for a fun game of charades. After coloring, cut out the images and put them in a basket.
Each person picks a picture and acts it out, and the others have to guess what it is. Charades is a fun, active game that encourages creativity and teamwork. Plus, it’s a great way to laugh together.
Thanksgiving Memory Book
To capture all the great memories with your family, make a Thanksgiving memory book! Instead of throwing away all the Thanksgiving coloring pages you and your family colored, collect them!
Then, write down memories, thoughts, or things you’re thankful for on each page. You can also add family photos from the Thanksgiving celebration. It’ll be a keepsake for you to look back on in the future.
It helps to create lasting memories of the holiday. It also gives everyone a chance to reflect on the good times.
