New Thanksgiving Coloring Pages for 2026

Fresh for 2026! I created 14 new Thanksgiving printables with more ways to color, create, and share a little gratitude.

This year, I created several new pages that give kids more chances to add something of their own. Several of these designs leave room for drawing, writing what you're thankful for, or creating a Thanksgiving keepsake the family can save.

Turkeys to Color

Over 20 turkey designs, from silly and simple to detailed and relaxing!

I had fun mixing playful designs for younger kids with more intricate pages for older colorers, so there's a little something for everyone.

When you're done, keep the coloring fun going with our dog coloring pages.

Fall and Harvest-Themed Pages

Over 15 fall and harvest images to color filled with pumpkins, cornucopias, sunflowers, and more. This section evokes a cozy, old-fashioned harvest feel, which is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving.

When you're ready for a change of season, explore our summer coloring pages for beach scenes, outdoor fun, and sunny-day activities.

If pumpkins are your favorite part of fall, don't miss our pumpkin coloring pages.

Gratitude and Thankfulness

These gratitude-themed pages are some of my favorites because they turn a simple activity into a chance to pause and think about what matters most.

Use them for family conversations, classroom reflections, or a quiet Thanksgiving moment.

If your kids love October fun, they'll adore our Halloween coloring sheets.

Thanksgiving Designs for Young Children

These simple Thanksgiving coloring sheets were created with little hands in mind. I chose bold outlines and friendly designs to make coloring easier and more enjoyable for toddlers, preschoolers, and early learners.

They're a fun way to build fine motor skills while celebrating the season.

Activity & Worksheet Pages

These Thanksgiving activity pages make learning feel a little more festive. I included simple tracing, letter, and vocabulary activities that kids can enjoy while they color.

They're easy to use at home, in homeschool, or in the classroom.

Fall Leaves Coloring Sheets

I love how a page full of autumn leaves can feel both playful and calming. These fall leaves are perfect for a cozy afternoon at home, a classroom activity, or simply enjoying a little seasonal creativity.
