Need something easy to keep the kids busy while Thanksgiving dinner is cooking? These printable Thanksgiving Turkey Activity Pages give kids a handful of simple activities they can do at the table with very little prep.
Print the five pages, set out some crayons, pencils, scissors, and glue, and you’ve got an easy Thanksgiving activity ready for kids while they’re waiting for the meal—or anytime you need a little quiet activity during Thanksgiving week.
Printable Thanksgiving Activities
This printable includes 5 different turkey-themed activity pages, with a mix of puzzles, coloring, tracing, and cutting activities.
You’ll get:
- Turkey dot-to-dot
- Turkey maze
- Turkey tracing page
- Turkey coloring page
- Build-a-Turkey cut-and-paste activity
Because the activities use several different skills, they’re especially handy when you have kids of different ages gathered together for Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Turkey Dot-to-Dot
Connect the dots to complete the turkey picture, then color it in.
Dot-to-dot activities are a simple way for kids to practice number order, pencil control, and visual tracking while they work toward revealing the finished picture.
Turkey Maze
Help your way through the turkey-themed maze!
Mazes give kids practice with visual-spatial thinking, problem solving, and fine-motor control—and they’re an easy activity to set out without any instructions or preparation.
Turkey Tracing Page
The tracing activity gives younger kids some extra pre-writing and fine-motor practice.
Have kids carefully follow the lines with a pencil, crayon, or marker.
Turkey Coloring Page
Sometimes you just need a coloring page!
Set out crayons, colored pencils, or markers and let kids design their own colorful Thanksgiving turkey.
Build-a-Turkey Activity
This one adds a little cutting and gluing to the fun.
The turkey comes in separate pieces for kids to color, cut out, and assemble themselves.
You can simply glue the finished turkey onto another sheet of paper, or let kids get creative and make a Thanksgiving scene around it.
An Easy Thanksgiving Table Activity
I originally made these pages because Thanksgiving at our house meant lots of family—and lots of time spent preparing the meal.
The kids and their cousins needed something to do while they waited!
That’s still one of my favorite ways to use these.
Print several copies before Thanksgiving and put them at the kids’ table with a container of art supplies. They’re also easy to use for:
- Thanksgiving classroom activities
- Homeschool
- Morning work
- Early finishers
- Thanksgiving parties
- Quiet time
- Family gatherings
- A Thanksgiving activity station
You could even staple the five pages together to make a little Thanksgiving activity booklet for each child.
