10 Craft Ideas to do With Thanksgiving Food Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages start piling up, don't just stick them on the fridge—turn them into these easy, budget-friendly crafts that celebrate the best part of the holiday: the food!
1. Paper Plate Thanksgiving Feast
Cut out your colored turkey, mashed potatoes, and green beans from the coloring pages. Glue them onto a sturdy paper plate to design your ultimate holiday meal. Finish by gluing silver construction paper forks and knives to the sides of the plate for a fun, 3D dinner display.
2. Pumpkin Pie Crown
Cut out a colored slice of pumpkin pie from your sheets and glue a fluffy white cotton ball in the center for the whipped cream. Cut a band of orange construction paper to fit your child's head, staple the ends together, and glue the pie slice right to the front for a festive holiday hat.
3. Cranberry Sauce Pencil Holder
Clean out an empty tin can and wrap it in red construction paper. Cut out the colored cranberry sauce illustration from your coloring page and glue it over the paper to serve as a custom “can label.” Use it on the kids' table to hold crayons and markers during Thanksgiving dinner.
4. 3D Cornucopia Basket
Roll a sheet of brown poster board into a cone shape, securing it with tape to make a horn of plenty. Cut out your colored harvest vegetables and fruits from the coloring sheets, then glue them so they are spilling out of the opening of the cone for a gorgeous table centerpiece.
5. Talking Turkey Leg Puppet
Cut out a fully colored roasted turkey drumstick page. Glue the meaty top part of the drumstick to the bottom flap of a paper lunch bag, and the bone part to the body of the bag. Kids can slip their hands inside to make the Thanksgiving drumstick “talk” and put on a silly holiday show.
6. “Recipe for Gratitude” Flip Book
Cut out several different colored Thanksgiving food items like pies, rolls, and corn. Stack them with blank pieces of writing paper cut into matching shapes underneath, then staple them at the top. On the inside pages, have kids write down the “ingredients” of what they are most thankful for this year.
7. “What's Cooking?” Classroom Garland
Have each student in the classroom color and cut out their favorite Thanksgiving dish from the printable pages. Run a long piece of rustic twine across the chalkboard or classroom wall. Use wooden clothespins to hang all the different dishes side-by-side, creating a giant collaborative feast banner.
8. Gravy Boat Place Cards
Fold white index cards in half tent-style to make name cards for your Thanksgiving table. Cut out the colored gravy boat or casserole illustrations from your pages and glue them so they pop up over the top fold of the cards. Write each family member's name on the front in a metallic marker.
9. Spinning Butter Sweet Potato Toy
Cut out a colored sweet potato coloring page and glue it to thick cardboard for durability. Cut a small square of yellow felt to represent a pat of butter. Attach the felt butter to the top of the sweet potato using a metal brad fastener so kids can spin the butter around to “melt” it.
10. Cinnamon-Scented Pie Coasters
Cut out a colored apple or pecan pie illustration and glue it onto a round cork coaster backing. Mix a spoonful of school glue with a dash of ground cinnamon, brush a thin layer over the top of the colored paper, and let it dry. When warm mugs are set on top, the coaster will release a cozy holiday scent.
