I’m super excited to share this easy thanksgiving color by number printable that actually work. They’re totally free, and trust me, they’ll keep those little hands busy while you’re trying to prep that turkey!

Free Printable Thanksgiving Color by Number

Need a no-prep activity to entertain your kids during Thanksgiving prep? If you’re looking for one, then you are in the right place. A few days ago, I started to create these color by number pages. They are a game changer for moms and teachers. My friend’s 4-year-old sat quietly for 20 minutes. He used our color by number Thanksgiving activity to practice math, without complaining.

These aren’t just random coloring sheets – I’ve tested them with different age groups (thanks to friends’ kids), and they actually keep kids engaged. Plus, you won’t believe how proud they are when they finish one!

Why Choose These Thanksgiving Color by Number Pages

Look, I get it – there are tons of activity sheets out there. But here’s why these are different:

• You can use these sheets to create color by number pages. They can be on addition, subtraction, or multiplication.
• Unlike other color by number sheets, you can use any color you like. Just follow the sheet’s color key.
• It helps moms and saves time for holiday prep.

How to Use These Printable

Yeah, Nobody wants complicated instructions when they’re already stressed about holiday planning. Here’s what actually works:

1. Just print them with your printer on whatever paper you have (fancy paper not required!).
2. Grab those crayons or markers from the bottom of the toy box
3. If you want it to look like fancy, cover them with clear tape to make them last.

How to Download and Print These Coloring Pages

1. Click on the coloring sheet you want to color.
2. A new tab will open with the PDF.
3. Download the PDF file to your computer.
4. Print it at home and start coloring!

When Things Go Wrong (because they will)

• If the print looks weird, just check your ink (I learned this in hard way)
• Regular printer paper works fine – don’t waste the good stuff
• Can’t open the file? It’s probably just needs a PDF reader (I use the free one)

Creative ways to use this thanksgiving activity sheets

In the Classroom (from my teacher friend Sarah):

• Perfect for that crazy week before Thanksgiving break,
• Let kids work in pairs when they get antsy,
• Use them as a reward after finishing other work.

At Home:

• Stick them on the fridge – instant holiday decor!
• Color together while watching the parade,
• Great for “I’m bored” moments.

Practical Tips for moms and teachers

What really works:

• Print a bunch at once (trust me, you’ll need extras).
• A folder saves them from getting crushed in the backpack.
• Little ones do better with crayons, big kids love colored pencils.
• Perfect for that 30-minute window before dinner.

Final Thoughts

Look, Thanksgiving is crazy enough without trying to reinvent the wheel. Whether you’re a teacher trying to survive the pre-break chaos or a parent just needing 15 minutes of peace to baste the turkey, these pages have got your back.

Happy coloring, and remember – if all else fails, there’s always pie! 🦃
