Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
These free printable Thanksgiving coloring pages are full of fall harvest fun. A friendly turkey shows off its fan of tail feathers in a field of pumpkins, puts on a pilgrim hat with a big square buckle, runs through a pile of autumn leaves and peeks out from behind a giant pumpkin. It also sits down at the table with a napkin and a fork for a plate of corn on the cob, waves hello in front of the barn and proudly carries a pumpkin pie of its own. For a whole set of turkey pictures, see the turkey coloring pages.
Out on the farm, a scarecrow in a straw hat and patched overalls stands guard over the cornfield, and on another page he carries a basket of corn and apples next to a wheelbarrow piled with pumpkins. A pilgrim girl in a white bonnet walks down a country path with a basket of apples, and a pilgrim boy in a tall buckled hat holds a basket of fresh corn by the fence.
Some pages have no characters at all: a cornucopia spilling over with apples, grapes, a pear, corn and little pumpkins, a pumpkin pie with one slice served beside it under a swirl of whipped cream, a dinner table set with a roast turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and pie, three pumpkins on a hay bale, an old wooden sailing ship with three masts, a fall wreath on the front door, a basket of apples under an apple branch, maple and oak leaves with acorns and three ears of corn tied with a bow. For more seasonal pages, try the nature coloring pages or get ready for December with the Christmas coloring pages.
How to print these Thanksgiving coloring pages
Click the Download button under any picture to save it, then print it on standard letter paper. The pages are portrait and sized to fill the sheet, so pick fit to page in your print settings. Plain white paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; light cardstock holds up better for markers and makes a sturdy place card or table decoration.
Coloring ideas
Turkey tail feathers look great in fall colors: alternate red, orange, yellow and brown, or make every feather a different color. Give the pumpkins bright orange with green stems, and color the leaves in reds, golds and browns. The pilgrim outfits are often shown in black, gray and brown with white collars, but you can choose any colors you like. The corn kernels are a fun place to mix yellow, red and purple like decorative fall corn.
Who these pages are for
The simpler pages, like the turkey behind the pumpkin, the pumpkin pie and the turkey in the pilgrim hat, have large open shapes that are quick to fill and suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. The busier pages, such as the cornucopia, the corn bundle and the scarecrow with the wheelbarrow, have more small pieces for older kids and adults who want a longer, relaxing session. They also make a good quiet activity while the holiday meal is cooking.
