What’s Thanksgiving without the Thanksgiving turkey? For me, I can’t separate the holiday from one of my favorite aspects of it. No matter how you like your turkey day turkey, these turkey coloring pages will help you get in the holiday mood. From simple outlines to detailed drawings, funny cartoons, and even adorable baby turkeys and turkey dinners, there's something for everyone!
As the leaves change their hues and the air turns crisp, it’s tempting to cozy up indoors. Coloring is not just a way for kids to unleash their creativity; it's also a fantastic way for them to “fall” into the festive spirit of the season. With winter just around the corner, Thanksgiving is the perfect time for turkey coloring pages and a cup of hot cocoa.

Crafts for Your Turkey Coloring Pages
There is so much you can do with your turkey coloring pages beyond just coloring them. Here are a few of our favorite craft ideas. (And while you’re here, check out our build-your-own-turkey templates and build-your-own-pumpkin templates for more fall-themed fun!)
Make a Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Let the kids get in on your Thanksgiving preparations. Their colorful creations can serve as decorations right on your Thanksgiving table. This lets the kids feel like they’re part of what’s going on. Plus, it helps out the adults by giving the little ones a task to focus on.
Simply choose your favorite Thanksgiving turkey coloring pages, color them in, then place them prominently on your table to serve as the centerpiece. Tip: Cut out the turkeys and place them on popsicle sticks to make them easier to set within a wreath or some other decoration on your Thanksgiving table.
Design Your Own Thanksgiving Decorations
Why stop at the table? Your turkey coloring pages can help you decorate the entire house in preparation for the holiday. As noted above, you can cut out your turkeys and place them in decorations such as wreaths. But it doesn’t stop there.
You can also cut out your turkeys to use as a banner. Simply attach the turkeys to decorative wire or even fishing line so you can hang them from the ceiling. For an added touch, add in ribbons in nice fall colors. Or use our turkey coloring pages as placemats during dinner.
Draw Your Own Turkeys to Color
You don’t need to rely just on our turkey coloring pages. You can easily draw your own turkeys using a tried and true Thanksgiving tradition. That’s right. We’re talking about the classic method of tracing your hand in order to draw a turkey. The fingers serve as the plumage while the thumb is the turkey’s head. This is a great game for children because they learn to draw a turkey on their own in a way that they can easily replicate.
Add 3D Touches
No matter whether you drew your own turkey or used one of our turkey coloring pages, you can make your creation 3D with some fun and easy touches. One of the most obvious is feathers. Your local craft store should have feathers that you can glue on your turkey to bring the tail to life. Don’t stop there. Glitter, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, and other common craft items can add a whole new dimension to your turkey coloring page.
More Coloring Fun
From puzzles, to craft templates and coloring pages, we have lots more fall coloring fun to share with you.
