About these Thanksgiving coloring pages

1

Which page for which age

The easy turkeys, the single pumpkin with three leaves and the kawaii pies are made of a few big shapes: good for preschoolers with crayons or thick markers. The handprint turkey and the turkey template have a large fan of empty feathers that kindergarten classes fill with patterns, colors or a word on each feather.

The Thanksgiving table, the Mayflower at sea, the harvest wheelbarrow and the realistic wild turkey have more detail, so they suit kids from about eight with colored pencils. The leaf-and-feather mandala and the zentangle turkeys are the ones for teens and adults.

Ideas for the holiday

  • Kids table placemats: print one page per child, put it under each plate and leave a cup of crayons in the middle.
  • Gratitude tree: color the tree, then let everyone write one thing they are thankful for on a leaf.
  • Turkey in disguise: after coloring the chef, farmer, astronaut and superhero turkeys, ask the kids to invent their own disguise on the back.
  • Classroom display: one handprint turkey per student, each feather colored differently, makes a full bulletin board in an afternoon.

A short history to tell while they color

In the fall of 1621 the Plymouth colonists, who had arrived on the Mayflower the year before, held a harvest feast of about three days with around ninety Wampanoag people. It is remembered as the first Thanksgiving. Days of thanksgiving were then held now and then for two centuries, until President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day in 1863. Since a law of 1941 the United States celebrates it on the fourth Thursday of November; Canada has its own Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October.
