81 Thanksgiving Coloring Pages

Thanksgiving in the United States lands on the fourth Thursday of November, and Canada celebrates its own version on the second Monday of October. Both holidays center on a harvest meal and on saying thanks, so this collection is mostly about food, family and the farm. There are pages of acorn squash, an ear of corn, a cranberry bog at harvest time, a bowl of cranberry sauce, a cornucopia spilling over with produce, warm apple pie and a basket of dinner rolls. A few scenes show family moments, such as a backyard football game, baking pies together, and drawing a thank you card for grandparents. These make an easy kids' table activity while the turkey rests, and teachers use them to start conversations about what children feel grateful for. Try warm autumn colors like rust, mustard, deep red and brown, then add a pop of green for leaves and husks. Younger artists can stick to the single-food pages, while the dinner table and football scenes have more detail for kids around 7 and up.
