Free Printable Christian Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
The free printable Christian Thanksgiving coloring pages below are available as PDFs (they’re designed to fit on standard US Letter-sized paper—that’s 8.5 x 11 inches). Just pick which coloring pages you want to print and then download them. You can then hand these out to kids at Sunday school with some crayons or slip a few in your homeschool lessons.
These kinds of pictures work great as a jumping-off point to discuss prayers, the act of giving and how we gather together to share food!
How to Color Christian Thanksgiving Pages in 5 Creative Ways
Start by putting out some supplies and letting them select a picture. These Christian Thanksgiving coloring activities are perfect for bringing gratitude into their art!
1. Give Your Harvest Warm Colors
Children can color the pumpkins orange, the wheat golden yellow, and the baskets brown to make a great Thanksgiving picture. They can also place red leaves around your harvest centerpiece!
2. Make a Stained Glass Cross
Pick an illustration of a cross to work from.
Draw large sections into that cross with your black crayon and color them all with different colored pencils. You can see how nice they look on the page because there’s such a pale background!
3. Color and Count Your Blessings
Use the picture of a girl who’s recording her blessings. Add little drawings from your kids about what they are grateful for: family, food, friends, etc.
4. Try Watercolor Around a Chapel
Print the church scene onto paper that works well with your printer and watercolors.
Children can then paint a light blue sky using a fairly dry brush. When everything has dried, they can color the building using pencils.
5. Add Texture to a Bread Basket
Have the children lightly color their bread and then paint the short brown pencil strokes on top of the crusts. Try to alternate between tan and browns as you discuss the act of giving thanks for all our food every day.
Take some time together to give thanks by using this great set of Christian Thanksgiving coloring pages!
