10 Craft Ideas to do With Thanksgiving For Toddlers Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages pile up, don't let their artistic glory fade! These easy, affordable crafts put those masterpieces to brilliant use.
1. Terrific Turkey Hat
Have your toddler color a turkey page, then help them cut out the turkey body. Glue the cutout turkey to the front of a construction paper strip, sized to fit their head. Attach colorful craft feathers (or paper cutouts) behind the turkey for a festive hat they can wear all Thanksgiving day!
2. Personalized Placemats
Let your little one choose and color their favorite Thanksgiving-themed page. Once dry, laminate the finished page (or cover with clear contact paper) to create a personalized placemat for their spot at the Thanksgiving table. It's a wonderful way to display their artwork and protect your table!
3. Thankful Handprint Tree
Trace and cut out your toddler's handprint from brown construction paper for the “trunk.” Have them color several small Thanksgiving-themed images (like leaves, apples, pumpkins) from their coloring pages. Glue these cutouts onto the “branches” of the handprint tree, creating a simple display of what they're thankful for.
4. Pilgrim & Native American Stick Puppets
Toddlers can color different characters like pilgrims, turkeys, or Native Americans from their pages. Help them carefully cut out the figures. Glue each cutout to a sturdy craft stick or popsicle stick to create simple puppets for imaginative holiday storytelling.
5. Gobble Wobble Turkeys
After coloring a turkey, help your child cut out its body. Glue the turkey cutout to the top of a springy pipe cleaner that's been coiled and glued to a small cardboard base (like a cut-up cereal box). Add googly eyes or paper scraps for extra flair, and watch your turkey wobble!
6. Thanksgiving Feast Banner
Cut out various Thanksgiving food items (corn, pies, pumpkins) or even small turkeys from multiple colored pages. Punch a hole at the top of each cutout. String them together with yarn or ribbon to create a festive garland to decorate a doorway or wall.
7. Cornucopia Collage
Draw or cut out a simple cornucopia shape from brown construction paper. Encourage your toddler to cut out various Thanksgiving-themed images from their finished coloring pages, such as fruits, vegetables, and tiny turkeys. Glue these colorful cutouts overflowing from the cornucopia for a bountiful autumn art piece.
8. “I Am Thankful For…” Wreath
Cut out the center of a paper plate to form a wreath base. Have your toddler color small pictures from their Thanksgiving coloring pages that represent things they are thankful for (e.g., family figures, pet, favorite toy). Help them cut out these images and glue them around the paper plate wreath. Add a ribbon loop for hanging.
9. Thanksgiving Scene Play Mat
Help your child glue several finished Thanksgiving coloring pages together or onto a large piece of poster board to create an expansive scene. This durable play mat can then be used with small blocks, toy animals, or their newly made stick puppets for hours of imaginative Thanksgiving play.
10. Turkey Handprint Keepsake Frame
Have your toddler paint their hand brown and press it onto construction paper to make a turkey body. Once dry, glue a small, colorful turkey head (cut from one of their coloring pages) to the thumb. Frame this adorable handprint “turkey” with strips of colorful construction paper or popsicle sticks, using other small cutouts from colored pages as embellishments, to create a cherished holiday keepsake.
