Easy Thanksgiving Coloring Pages

Some coloring pages ask too much of little hands — thin lines, tiny sections, patterns packed close together. These Easy Thanksgiving Coloring Pages skip all of that. Every page uses big shapes and thick outlines, so there’s plenty of room to color without stressing over a hairline border or a tiny corner that’s easy to miss.

Child Holding a Thankful Leaf Coloring Page

I started making pages like this after handing my own kid a “normal” coloring book on a long car ride and watching her get frustrated within five minutes — the shapes were just too small for her to manage. A few big, simple shapes later, she was quiet and coloring happily for the rest of the trip. That’s really the whole idea behind this set: something a young kid can sit down with and actually enjoy, without needing help or getting stuck.

Each page sticks to just one or two objects — a dinner plate, a folded napkin, a cornucopia basket, a little bell, a leaf-covered placemat — nothing crowded, nothing busy. The pages are completely blank with just clean black lines, so there’s nothing to figure out beyond picking a color and going for it.

These work well anywhere a young kid needs something calm to do with their hands — at the kids’ table before Thanksgiving dinner, at a classroom party, or in the car on the way to a family gathering.

A few coloring tips:

Start with the biggest shape first, then work your way to the smaller bits
Chunky crayons or thick colored pencils suit these designs best
Colors don’t need to be realistic — a purple bell or a blue plate is totally fine
Save a favorite page or two to use as a simple Thanksgiving table decoration
