10 Craft Ideas to do With Happy Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
Once those beautiful Happy Thanksgiving coloring pages are finished, don't let them gather dust! Turn them into festive decorations and keepsakes with these easy and affordable craft ideas.
1. Thankful Garland Display
Cut out individual Thanksgiving-themed elements like leaves, pumpkins, or turkeys from your colored pages. Punch a hole at the top of each cut-out. String them together with a piece of twine or ribbon to create a festive garland to hang across a mantle or doorway, celebrating the harvest season.
2. Personalized Thanksgiving Place Cards
Glue a finished, cut-out Thanksgiving image (like a small turkey or cornucopia) from a coloring page onto a folded piece of cardstock. Write each guest's name on the front. These personalized place cards will add a thoughtful, homemade touch to your Thanksgiving dinner table.
3. Autumn Glow Jars
Carefully cut out sections of colored pages featuring autumn leaves, pumpkins, or harvest scenes. Use a glue stick to adhere these cut-outs around the outside of clean glass jars. Pop a battery-operated tea light inside each jar to create a warm, festive glow for your Thanksgiving decor.
4. “I Am Thankful For…” Wreath
Cut a circular wreath shape from a sturdy piece of poster board. Cut out individual autumn-themed shapes (like leaves, acorns, or small turkeys) from your colored pages. On the back of each shape, write something you are thankful for, then glue them artistically around your poster board wreath to create a meaningful decoration.
5. Festive Feast Banner
Cut your finished coloring pages into banner flag shapes. You can either glue letters spelling “Happy Thanksgiving” onto individual flags, or simply use pages with festive imagery. Punch two holes at the top of each flag and string them together with ribbon to create a welcoming banner for your celebration.
6. Pilgrim Hat Headbands
Cut a long strip of construction paper or poster board to fit around a child's head, forming a headband. Cut out Pilgrim hat shapes or bonnet designs from your colored pages. Glue these onto the front of the headbands for fun, wearable Thanksgiving accessories.
7. Popsicle Stick Turkey Puppets
Glue a colored and cut-out turkey body from your coloring page onto a popsicle stick. Add extra “feathers” cut from construction paper or other colored pages if desired. These make adorable puppets for storytelling or playtime, bringing your Thanksgiving characters to life.
8. Custom Thanksgiving Placemats
Take a full-sized, finished Happy Thanksgiving coloring page and glue it onto a slightly larger piece of construction paper for a decorative border. Cover the entire piece with clear contact paper or laminate it to create durable, personalized placemats for your family's holiday meal.
9. Thankful Tree Centerpiece
Find a small, sturdy branch and place it in a vase or jar. Cut leaf shapes from your colored pages. On each leaf, write something you are thankful for. Punch a small hole in each leaf and tie it onto the branches with string, creating a beautiful and reflective Thanksgiving centerpiece.
10. Thanksgiving Story Dice
Construct a simple paper cube (you can find templates online or make one from cardstock). Cut out six different small Thanksgiving-themed images from your colored pages (e.g., a turkey, a pumpkin, a Pilgrim, a cornucopia). Glue one image onto each side of the cube, then roll it to inspire Thanksgiving stories or prompts.
