Easy Thanksgiving Drawing Ideas
I have put together a printable set of creative drawing prompts with 12 draw and write pictures for Thanksgiving. These are simple drawing tutorials that also include a word to trace at the bottom. This is a great way to combine art and writing kids learning to read and write still! Â But if you just want to draw, that’s great, too!
All you need is a piece of paper, and some different colors of colored pencils, crayons, pens, or markers. Choose your favorite drawing medium. My kids like to use markers to do the outline of the picture, then color it in. Â Kids of any skill level will be excited to draw turkeys, pumpkin pie, apple pie, bread, and more! Â Color in the thanksgiving drawings after you draw them, or you could even use watercolors to paint the pictures.

This printable includes the following 12 Thanksgiving pictures:
- How to draw an apple pie
- How to draw a pumpkin pie
- How to draw a cornucopia (or a horn of plenty)

Each picture has an easy step-by-step tutorial with line art teaching you how to draw them. You can do them with just pencil lines or get creative with different art supplies. They use basic shapes and simple steps that even younger artists can use. Each drawing tutorial includes 6 easy steps to draw the picture. It breaks them down into simple straight lines and curved lines that are easy to manage for the beginner.Â
The fun of the these draw and write pages is that it teaches kids the skill and the steps, then they can continue drawing these images with their own drawing projects using the knowledge they gained from practicing. They can doodle and practice with different shapes and styles or variations on these drawings. They can even add landscapes and other images in the background. Â Use the finished product as Thanksgiving decorations!

This printable is both a language arts and a visual arts activity! Â Kids can learn and benefit in so many ways from it. And guess what? They won’t even realize it is learning! Â They are really fun to use, too.Â
Did you know that drawing has some amazing educational benefits? Â Drawing can stimulate neural connections and promote cognitive function. Â It can enhance focus, memory, and problem-solving skills. Drawing sparks creativity, sharpens the sense of sight, and builds self esteem when they build their artistic skills. Kids can use drawing to communicate feelings and moods, to express dreams and ideas. It is also great to build fine motor skills. Drawing can even reduce stress!
This printable also includes the written words at the bottom. These are useful to help kids build connections to words and pictures. It helps them learn to spell and write the words. It’s another fine motor exercise.Â
