Thanksgiving Coloring Pages for Kids
Peabody has 13 free Thanksgiving coloring pages for kids: turkeys, autumn leaves, pumpkin pie, corn, pumpkins, football, a thankful jar, a scarecrow, a family table and a parade balloon. Each prints in black outlines on one sheet or colors on the screen, with big simple pictures for the youngest and a mandala for older kids.
Start with the size that fits the child
A two-year-old with a fat crayon and a ten-year-old who wants something to do while the rolls bake want different pages, so these come in three sizes. The Turkey, the Pumpkins, the Autumn Leaves, the Pumpkin Pie, the Corn on the Cob, the Football, the Thankful Jar and the Friendly Scarecrow are Little pages: only a handful of big shapes, with lines thick enough to color up to. The Turkey on the Farm, the Autumn Tree, the Family Table and the Parade Balloon are Medium and have a whole scene to fill in, right down to the hay bale and the windows. The Harvest Mandala is the one Big page, rings of leaves and acorns that can take a patient kid most of the way to dinner.
The page you can write on
The Thankful Jar leaves its five paper slips empty on purpose. Print one for each person and ask for one thing they're glad about on each slip, in words or in a tiny drawing. Someone too small to write can tell you, and you can write it for them. After dinner, read a few out. It's also a kind way to fill the few minutes before a meal when everyone is hungry and nothing is ready.
Printing a set for the kids' table or a classroom
Print all the pages, up top, sends every picture to your printer as its own sheet, on Letter or A4, with nothing else on the paper. For a table of cousins, staple a few together and put a cup of crayons in the middle. For a class, open one picture, press Print and ask for as many copies as you have students. The Family Table is a good one for the week before the break: children can draw their own people over ours, or add a pet under the table.
Coloring on a screen, and coloring by sum
On a tablet or a Chromebook, open a picture and press Color it now to fill the shapes with a tap in the Art Studio. Finished pictures stay on your own device. For a child who likes a puzzle, Color by sum puts a small math problem in each shape, and the answer tells them which crayon to use. It works from adding within 10 up to times tables, so a page can double as a little practice on a day off from school.
More for the long weekend
If they finish these and want something else on paper, the Thanksgiving worksheets have bingo, mazes and secret codes sorted by grade. For everyone together, there are Thanksgiving games for the table, Thanksgiving classroom games for school and recipes kids can help make. Pictures for the rest of the year are on the main coloring pages list.
Questions
When is Thanksgiving?
In the United States it is the fourth Thursday of November. Canada's Thanksgiving is in October, and a turkey colors just the same.
Do I need an account to print these?
No. Peabody is free through the end of 2026, and neither printing nor coloring on the screen asks anyone to sign up. What a child colors stays on your device.
Which Thanksgiving coloring page suits a three-year-old?
Try the Turkey or the Pumpkins first. Their shapes are large and their lines are thick, so a crayon that wanders still lands somewhere that looks right.
Will these use up my printer's ink?
Less than a photo would. They are outlines on white with no gray shading, though the Little pages have thick lines, so a whole class set uses more than a page of text.
