About the Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
These pages fill the weeks before the Thanksgiving break, and they keep the focus on gratitude and the harvest rather than on history. The Friendly Turkey has a fan of big, simple tail feathers, the Turkey Football page shows a turkey ready for the big game, and Ears of Corn and Squash and Gourds bring the fall harvest to the page, all Simple pictures with large spaces for PreK through grade 1. The Thankful Tree is also Simple, with big blank leaves that students can write in after coloring. The Harvest Cornucopia, the Thanksgiving Dinner table and the Harvest Hay Wagon are Detailed, with many smaller spaces for grades 2 and up. There are no people on the pages, so every student can see their own family in them.
Ways to use Thanksgiving coloring pages
A class gratitude tree
Print the Thankful Tree 1 per page. Each student writes one thing they are thankful for on each leaf, then colors the tree for a hallway display.
Short-week calm activity
Turn on Print several at once, pick a few Simple and Detailed pictures and keep copies ready for the last afternoon before the break.
Harvest science talk
Color Ears of Corn and Squash and Gourds, then talk about which foods grow in the fall and how farmers harvest them.
Color by number for November
Turn on Color by number for the Friendly Turkey and use it as a math center that practices reading numbers and color words.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there Pilgrims or Native Americans on these pages?
No. The pages show a turkey, harvest foods, a Thankful Tree and a dinner table, with no people, so they avoid costumes and stereotypes and work for every family.
Which page is best for writing what students are thankful for?
The Thankful Tree. Its leaves are big and blank, so students can write a word or a short phrase in each one before or after coloring.
Is there a more detailed turkey?
Yes. The Thanksgiving Turkey in the Fall, Halloween & Thanksgiving theme has a big fan of tail feathers with many small spaces. The Pumpkin Pie and the Scarecrow are there too.
