Super Simple Thanksgiving Coloring Sheets Even Toddlers Can Color
Today we are excited to have extremely easy Thanksgiving coloring sheets that were designed with babies, toddlers and preschoolers in mind. Younger kids can get creative with the big open spaces provided in these free Thanksgiving coloring pages.
Easy Printable Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
A simple Thanksgiving coloring page plus a one year old…what fun! Today, here at Kids Activities Blog, our coloring pages for kids series continues with an idea to get the younger kids involved.
These simple coloring sheets were inspired by an article on No Time for Flashcards where baby played with first coloring page and used sweet potatoes as the coloring medium. See below for our baby coloring page activity.

We have a fun printable, which would be great for the older kids to use as a Thanksgiving place-mat/coloring page, and I thought it would make a terrific canvas for his sensory exploration.

Thanksgiving Coloring Page Activity for Baby
Let’s talk about using one of these simple coloring pages as baby’s first coloring page. It is a great time to introduce your one year old to crayons, washable non-toxic markers or finger paint with non-toxic paint or like we did here with…baby food!
Finger Painting Thanksgiving Coloring Sheets
I personally like the baby food finger painting method. I tried to pick brightly colored fruits and vegetables.
Supplies Needed
- carrot baby food
- green beans baby food
- blueberry applesauce baby food
- Printable coloring page
- (optional) tape
- (optional) white crayon
Instructions
- We taped the coloring sheet down on the table or high chair.
- We colored the letters in the “Give Thanks” coloring page with a white crayon – My “plan” was that the picture would be a smearing of fall hues and that the letters in the coloring page would pop out as they would remain white amidst the smear.
- Let baby paint! Plans rarely go as you plan. While I did expect Noah to have a blast, I did not expect the page to remain white (well, maybe it became off-white).
What we Learned Doing this Thanksgiving Coloring Activity for Baby
Things that you can do to help your child have fun in their food finger-painting:
- Remove their clothes. For reasons unknown to me, carrots *will* stain shirts (even if they fail to leave a mark on the coloring sheet. Ha!
- Instead of putting the foods onto a separate plate (as pictured), drop them directly onto the printable. My little man kept expecting me to get a spoon and was becoming a bit frustrated when I didn’t produce one. Dumping the food onto the picture and putting his hand into it helped break the ice a bit.
- As I said earlier, tape the paper down. Otherwise, they just might be eating the paper instead of the “paint”.
- Have rags ready nearby for clean-up and have fun!
