Thanksgiving Day has a lot of in-between time: while the turkey roasts, while the grown-ups chat, while everyone waits for pie. A stack of coloring pages and a box of crayons on the kids’ table keeps everyone happy, and the finished pages make sweet place cards and decorations.
These free Thanksgiving coloring pages are 9 designs with bold, clear lines: a turkey, a “thankful turkey” activity, a pumpkin patch, pumpkin pie, a cornucopia, autumn leaves, sunflowers, “Happy Thanksgiving” lettering, and an autumn mandala for adults. All in one PDF.
What’s inside the Thanksgiving coloring pages
The PDF has 10 US Letter pages: a cover and 9 coloring pages. Every shape is closed with a thick line, so younger kids can stay inside the lines, and there’s enough detail on a few pages to keep older kids and adults busy too.
- Thanksgiving Turkey: a happy turkey with a big fan of feathers.
- Thankful Turkey: an activity page with extra-large feathers to write on.
- Pumpkin Patch: three pumpkins in front of a picket fence.
- Pumpkin Pie: a whole pie with a crimped crust, plus a slice.
- Cornucopia: a horn of plenty with a pumpkin, apples, a pear, grapes and corn.
- Autumn Leaves & Acorns: a full-page pattern of maple leaves, oak leaves and acorns.
- Sunflowers in a Jar: three sunflowers in a mason jar.
- Happy Thanksgiving: big bubble letters with pumpkins and leaves.
- Autumn Mandala: rings of maple leaves, acorns and oak leaves for adults.
The thankful turkey activity
This is my favorite page in the set. Each feather is big enough to write on, so kids (or everyone at the table) can write one thing they’re thankful for on each feather, then color the turkey. It’s a lovely way to start a conversation over dinner, and it makes a great keepsake.

Color ideas
Autumn colors always look cozy: rust, pumpkin orange, mustard yellow, chocolate brown, olive green and cream. For the turkey, try a different color on every feather. For the leaves page, mix reds, oranges and golds so the whole page looks like a pile of fall leaves.
Ways to use them on Thanksgiving
- Kids’ table activity: put a few pages and crayons at each seat.
- Place cards: color the small leaves or pumpkins, cut them out and write each guest’s name.
- Thankful tradition: fill in a thankful turkey every year and keep them in a folder.
- Classroom: perfect for the days before the Thanksgiving break.
- Fall decoration: hang finished pages on the fridge or tape them to the windows.
