Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
Make free printable Thanksgiving coloring pages from 8 pictures we drew ourselves: a turkey, a pumpkin pie, a cornucopia, a harvest table, corn, pumpkins and gourds, autumn leaves and acorns, and a basket of apples. There are no cartoon characters and no people, so the pages suit any table and any classroom. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small pictures, a harvest scene, a fold-in-half card, or a harvest mandala with a new pattern at the press of a button. The lettering poster spells out “Happy Thanksgiving” in hollow letters to color, with the date worked out as the fourth Thursday in November for any year from 2025 to 2035: Thursday, November 26, 2026. Make a thankful page with lines to write on, or a sheet of place cards to color, each with a guest’s name, that fold to stand on the table. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.
100% private — everything runs in your browser. Names stay in your browser; the PDF, PNG and SVG are made on your device.

Are these Thanksgiving coloring pages free?
Yes. Every page is free to make, download and print, with no sign-up and no watermark. All the pictures are our own drawings.
When is Thanksgiving in 2026?
Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, so in 2026 it falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026, and in 2027 on Thursday, November 25, 2027 (U.S. Office of Personnel Management). The poster works out the date for any year from 2025 to 2035.
Which pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The pumpkin pie and the pumpkins and gourds have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
How do the place cards work?
Choose Place cards, paste the guests’ names, one per line, and tick the pictures you like. Six cards print on each page; cut on the outline and fold on the dashed line so the picture and name stand at the front. Each card folds to 92.25 × 40.333 mm (3.63 × 1.59 in) on US Letter and 89.3 × 43.267 mm on A4. Leave the list empty for cards with a line to write a name on.
What is the thankful page?
A page with words at the top (“I am thankful for” or your own), lines to write on and three pictures to color at the bottom. Print one for each person at the table or in the class.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there Thanksgiving coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Harvest mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design with a ring of leaves at the edge. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Why are there no pilgrims or cartoon characters?
The set keeps to food, harvest and table pictures that anyone can use, drawn plainly. People and cartoon characters are left out on purpose.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
