10 Craft Ideas to do With Thanksgiving Food Coloring Pages
Once those colored pages start piling up, don’t just stack them away. Use these easy, budget-friendly crafts to turn your kids' vibrant Thanksgiving food art into festive holiday keepsakes.
1. The “Feast Master” Wearable Crown
Cut out finished pies, turkey legs, and corn ears from the coloring sheets. Glue them onto a thick band of brown construction paper measured to fit your child's head. Staple the ends of the band together to create a wearable crown fit for a Thanksgiving chef.
2. “Feed the Turkey” Shoebox Game
Wrap an empty shoebox in brown paper, draw a turkey face on one end, and cut a wide slot for its mouth. Back your colored food pages with thick cardboard, cut out the individual food shapes, and let toddlers practice “feeding” the pumpkin pies and yams into the turkey's mouth.
3. “Our Class Cornucopia” Mural
Draw a giant horn of plenty basket on a large sheet of butcher paper taped to the wall. Have each child cut out their favorite colored Thanksgiving food page, like squash, grapes, or pumpkins, and glue them overlapping so they appear to spill out of the horn. This makes a wonderful collaborative classroom decoration.
4. Sweet Potato & Marshmallow Garland
Cut out colored sweet potato casserole and yam illustrations, punching a small hole in the top of each. String them onto a long piece of kitchen twine, alternating the paper cut-outs with real fluffy cotton balls to mimic gooey melted marshmallows. Hang this textured garland across the mantle or kitchen window.
5. Talking Dinner Table Puppets
Glue cut-out coloring pages of quirky Thanksgiving foods, like a jiggly cranberry sauce mold or a fluffy bowl of mashed potatoes, onto wooden popsicle sticks. Stick googly eyes onto the food characters to make silly table side puppets that will keep kids entertained while the real dinner finishes cooking.
6. “Stained Glass” Pumpkin Pie Suncatchers
Cut out a colored pumpkin pie page, then carefully cut out the triangular filling section, leaving just the colored crust frame. Secure a piece of orange tissue paper to the back of the open frame using clear contact paper. Tape it to a sunny kitchen window so the autumn light glows through the “pie.”
7. Bountiful Bread Basket Centerpiece
Cut a paper plate in half and staple the curved edges together to form a pocket, painting it brown to look like a woven bread basket. Tape green pipe cleaners to the backs of your colored bread roll and cornbread cut-outs, then tuck them inside the pocket so they pop out at different heights for a 3D table centerpiece.
8. Recipe Box Divider Tabs
Organize the holiday kitchen by gluing cut-out food illustrations onto heavy index cards. Use a colored turkey cut-out to tab the “Mains” section, a green bean casserole for “Sides”, and a pecan pie for “Desserts”. These make adorable, functional dividers for your family's Thanksgiving recipe box.
9. “What's Cooking?” Thanksgiving Menu Board
Take a sturdy piece of cardboard and frame the borders with cut-out colored turkeys, stuffing bowls, and gravy boats. Glue a wooden clothespin to the center of the board so you can easily clip on a handwritten menu detailing your actual family Thanksgiving feast.
10. Leftover Pie Box Labels
Turn plain white cardboard takeout boxes into festive pie-carriers for your departing guests. Glue a colored, cut-out slice of pumpkin, apple, or pecan pie directly onto the top of each box. Use a metallic marker to write the guest's name along the paper pie crust to ensure everyone gets their favorite slice to go.
