I always try to incorporate as much art as possible into our daily routines. When my kids and I sit down with a blank piece of paper and some crayons, I still feel that sense of, “oh no, how do I get started?”
Of course, children generally have no problem just getting right into the arts and crafts, but I like to have somewhat of a starting point.
After a while I started switching it up sometimes and printing out coloring pages instead of simply having blank paper available. I find coloring oftentimes more relaxing than starting to draw from scratch, and the kids have a lot of fun with the coloring pages as well.
We’ll use different themed coloring pages based on the season, upcoming holiday, or whatever cartoon character they are into at the moment.
I then decided that I wanted to start making my own coloring pages for them to use. Today, I wanted to share this free printable Turkey coloring page. It is a great activity to incorporate into the fall season and especially on or around Thanksgiving Day.
Whether you need to keep the kids occupied while cooking dinner, or just need a fun project for them to work on during a rainy day, this coloring page will give them the inspiration needed to let their creativity run wild!

Favorite Printable Supplies:
These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use for printable games and activities:
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
- Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
- Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
- Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
- Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.
