10 Craft Ideas to do With Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
Once those beautiful Thanksgiving coloring pages are complete and piled up, don't let them gather dust! Here are 10 easy, affordable craft ideas to put them to creative use.
1. Festive Placemats
Transform your child's artwork into functional table decor. Glue a finished Thanksgiving coloring page onto a larger piece of construction paper or cardstock, leaving a decorative border. Laminate it or cover both sides with clear contact paper to protect it from spills, creating personalized placemats for your Thanksgiving feast.
2. Gratitude Garland
Cut out individual Thanksgiving-themed elements like leaves, pumpkins, or turkeys from your colored pages. Punch a hole at the top of each cutout. String them together with yarn or ribbon to create a vibrant and meaningful gratitude garland to hang across a mantel or doorway.
3. Turkey Finger Puppets
Bring your turkeys to life with a simple puppet craft. Color and cut out turkey shapes from your pages, making sure to include a body. Glue two pipe cleaners to the back of each turkey for “legs” that you can slip your fingers into. Add googly eyes for extra character and put on a Thanksgiving show!
4. Personalized Place Cards
Add a special touch to your Thanksgiving table setting. Cut out smaller Thanksgiving-themed images from your coloring pages. Fold pieces of cardstock in half to create tented place cards, then glue a cutout image onto the front of each. Write each guest's name inside for a charming, handmade touch.
5. Cornucopia Centerpiece
Create a bountiful harvest centerpiece using a brown paper bag. Shape the bag into a horn-like cornucopia. Cut out various harvest items such as pumpkins, apples, corn, and fall leaves from your colored pages. Glue these colorful cutouts spilling out of the cornucopia's opening for a festive table display.
6. Thanksgiving Window Clings
Decorate your windows with cheerful Thanksgiving scenes. Carefully cut out individual Thanksgiving shapes (like pumpkins, turkeys, or fall leaves) from your finished coloring pages. Stick these cutouts onto one side of a piece of clear contact paper, then cover with another piece. Trim the edges, and these “clings” will brighten up any window.
7. Pilgrim Hat Headbands
Design fun wearables for your family. Construct a simple pilgrim hat or bonnet from black or white construction paper. Cut out small, detailed Thanksgiving elements like buckles, feathers, or corn from your colored pages. Glue these cutouts onto your paper hat/bonnet, then attach an elastic string or stapled paper strip to form a festive headband.
8. Gratitude Journal Cover
Encourage reflection with a custom journal. Select a favorite colored Thanksgiving page and trim it to fit the front cover of a plain notebook or journal. Glue it securely in place, then cover with clear contact paper for protection and durability. This creates a beautiful, personal space for writing down daily blessings.
9. Thanksgiving Memory Match Game
Make a fun game for all ages. Find matching pairs of Thanksgiving-themed images on your coloring pages (e.g., two identical pumpkins, two turkeys). Cut out two of each image and glue each cutout onto a small, uniform piece of cardstock. Once dry, shuffle the cards and play a delightful Thanksgiving memory game.
10. Leaf and Turkey Wreath
Craft a welcoming wreath for your door. Cut out numerous fall leaves, small pumpkins, and turkey feathers from your colored pages. Take a paper plate and cut out its center, leaving only the ring. Glue your colorful cutouts all around the paper plate ring, overlapping them, to create a vibrant Thanksgiving decoration.
