How to Print the Thanksgiving Coloring Cards
They are designed to be easy to print and use at home or in the classroom. For the best results, print them on 8.5 x 11-inch US letter-size paper at 100% or actual size.
Regular printer paper works well for coloring, but white cardstock will give you a sturdier finished greeting card. After printing, let kids decorate the front with crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Fold the page in half along the center line, then write a Thanksgiving message on the blank inside.
You can also trim around the outer border after printing if you would like a slightly smaller finished card.
Fun Ways to Use These Printable Thanksgiving Cards
They can be much more than a quick Thanksgiving craft. Set them out as a quiet activity while dinner is cooking or let children make cards for people they appreciate.
They would also be cute at the kids’ Thanksgiving table with crayons or colored pencils at each place setting. Children could color their card during the meal and then give it to another guest before everyone goes home.
For a simple gratitude activity, ask each child to choose a Give Thanks or Thankful card and write a few words inside about why they appreciate the person receiving it.
You could even print several designs and create a small card-making station with crayons, markers, stickers, and fall-colored pencils so everyone can make their own one-of-a-kind greeting.
