10 Thanksgiving Color by Number Pages (Free Printables)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published

Thanksgiving color by number pages are what the kids' table gets while the food finishes, so this set is built for a room full of mixed ages. The quick pages: a turkey with its tail fanned out, a slice of pumpkin pie with a dollop of cream, one ear of corn, a pilgrim hat sitting on a pumpkin. Each is a few big shapes and a short key, done before anyone asks how long until dinner.

The middle of the set is the harvest: a cornucopia spilling apples and grapes, a basket of pumpkins and apples on a checked cloth, a squirrel at a tiny table with an acorn on its plate, a turkey strolling through a field of pumpkins. The two big pages are the ones adults keep: a dinner table seen from above, platter and pie and candles and all, and a farm stand at harvest with baskets and a chalk sign. Everything comes out in warm browns and oranges without anyone planning a palette.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain copy paper. Turkey pages lean on brown, orange, and red; the dinner scenes add more colors, so pencils give the neatest result there.

Turkey feathers

Tail feathers are where the color count climbs. The easy turkey has a brown body and a few feather colors; the fuller turkey pages give every feather its own number, which older children love and younger ones find slow. Each page says which kind it is.

After the meal

The same pages work as quiet time after dinner. Save the dinner table and the farm stand for that; they take the longest.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Place cards: the easy turkey page, colored and folded in half, marks each seat at the table.
  • Thankful feathers: after coloring the turkey, write one thing you are thankful for on each tail feather.
  • Kids' table kit: print the easy pages and a handful of crayons in a paper bag for each child, ready before guests arrive.
