10 Craft Ideas to do With Give Thanks Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages start piling up, these easy, affordable crafts are the perfect way to display your child's hard work while spreading a message of gratitude.
1. Gratitude Jar Wrapper
Cut your finished “Give Thanks” coloring page to wrap around an empty, clean glass jar or oatmeal canister, securing it with glue. Keep a stack of popsicle sticks nearby so family members can write down what they are grateful for and slip them inside the decorated jar all month long.
2. “Thanks-Giving” Crown
Cut out the beautifully colored “Give Thanks” typography or central image from your coloring page. Glue it to the center of a wide strip of construction paper, then staple the ends together to fit snugly around your child's head. Add colorful construction paper “feathers” to the back for a festive holiday crown.
3. Blessings Table Runner
Cut out individual thanksgiving motifs—like leaves, pumpkins, or words—from several colored pages. Glue them along a long roll of brown butcher paper to create a custom border for your Thanksgiving dinner table. Leave the center open so guests can write down their own expressions of gratitude directly onto the paper during the meal.
4. Spinning Gratitude Pinwheel
Cut your colored page into a perfect square, make diagonal cuts from the corners, and fold every other tip to the center. Push a pin through the center and into the eraser of a pencil to create a working pinwheel. As it spins in the breeze, it serves as a cheerful reminder to let gratitude blow through your home.
5. The Thankful Tree
Draw a large, bare tree trunk on a sheet of brown poster board and hang it on the wall. Cut out leaves, acorns, and small elements from your finished coloring pages to act as the tree's foliage. Write one thing you are grateful for on the back of each cutout before gluing it to the branches.
6. Blessings Bunting Banner
Cut your coloring pages into uniform triangle pennant shapes, keeping the “Give Thanks” text front and center. Use a hole punch on the top corners of each triangle and thread a piece of twine or festive yarn through them. Hang your custom banner across the fireplace mantel or entryway to welcome holiday guests.
7. Laminated Gratitude Placemat
Glue the completed coloring page onto a slightly larger piece of colored cardstock to create a vibrant border. Seal the front and back with clear contact paper, smoothing out any air bubbles, to make a water-resistant placemat. Use these at your Thanksgiving feast so kids can dine on top of their own custom artwork.
8. Thankful Puppet Show
Carefully cut out the characters, turkeys, or pumpkins from your colored pages. Glue each character onto the flat, folded bottom of a brown paper lunch bag to create instant hand puppets. Kids can use their new puppets to put on a show detailing all the things they are grateful for.
9. Gratitude Sun Catcher
Cut out the central “Give Thanks” lettering, leaving a small border of paper around the design. Gently rub a cotton ball dipped in baby oil over the back of the paper to make the page semi-translucent. Frame it with a black construction paper border and tape it to a sunny window to let the message of thanks glow.
10. Pocketful of Thanks Cards
Cut the colored pages into small rectangles and glue them to the front of folded blank cardstock to create mini greeting cards. Write a heartfelt thank-you note inside each card expressing why you appreciate the recipient. Hand them out along with a small piece of candy to teachers, neighbors, or mail carriers.
