What is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is an annual national holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. This holiday is dedicated to giving thanks for the harvest and blessings of the past year. It originated with the Pilgrims’ feast in 1621, shared with Native Americans as a celebration of their first successful harvest. Modern Thanksgiving is marked by family gatherings, festive meals, and expressions of gratitude.

Thanksgiving is a time to come together and celebrate, and what better way to do that than with fun crafts? Whether you’re decking out your home, creating personalized gifts, or enjoying quality time together, we hope these craft ideas bring joy and laughter to your holiday celebration.
1. Thankful Tree
Bring the spirit of being grateful into your home by printing free coloring pages and creating a tree of gratitude. Color designs of leaves with warm autumn shades. Then, cut out the leaf shapes. Write things you are grateful for on the back of each cutout and glue them to the branches of a hand-drawn or printed-out tree. Watch your gratitude tree grow as you add more leaves and appreciate the blessings in your life.
2. Pilgrim’s Pictures
Relive fun moments with a scrapbook made from fall-themed printables. Print coloring pages with images like turkeys, pumpkin pie, fall leaves, candy corn, apple trees, harvest wreaths, or pilgrim hats. Color the illustrations, then glue them together to create a memory book. Fill the backside of each design with written memories of past Thanksgivings, printed photos, or notes about what you’re thankful for each year.
3. Harvest Wreath
Welcome guests with a beautiful wreath made from harvest festival drawings. Print out fall leaves and color them in vibrant colors. Cut out the leaves and attach them to a foam or cardboard circle, overlapping them to create a 3D effect. Hang your wreath on the front door or display it as a colorful centerpiece on your Thanksgiving table.
4. Feathered Finger Fun
Turn cute turkey coloring pages into adorable finger puppets for playtime. Print out turkey outlines and color them with bright feathers and funny expressions. Attach each shape to a popsicle stick, or use elastic bands to transform your fingers into goofy turkey characters. Put on a puppet show and bring smiles to everyone around you!
5. Harvest Hangings
Decorate your space with a festive fall garland made from our free printables. Fill in various fall coloring pages featuring pumpkins, acorns, and leaves with cheerful autumn shades. Cut out the shapes and punch a hole in the top of each design. Thread twine or string through the hole(s). Hang your gorgeous garland across the fireplace mantel or window to usher in autumn.
6. Thanksgiving Cards
Spread gratitude and love by making personalized greeting cards with your favorite harvest illustrations. Print out coloring sheets at 50% scale. Fold a piece of cardstock in half and glue your finished artwork to the front. Write heartfelt messages inside and send them to loved ones near and far.
7. Blessings Binder Cover
Foster thankfulness and reflection by creating a custom journal cover using holiday illustrations. Print out your favorite design at 50% scale. Fill the illustration with bright shades and glue it to the front of a plain notebook. Each day, encourage your children or students to write down things they are grateful inside the journal.
8. Harvest Cornucopia
Bring the feeling of abundance to your home by creating a decorative motif for the holidays. Find your favorite printable drawings of fruits and vegetables like apples, pumpkins, and corn. Color them in and cut out the shapes. Roll up each shape to form a cone, securing it with tape. Arrange the cones together to create a cornucopia shape and display it as a centerpiece during your Thanksgiving dinner.
9. Pilgrim Hat Treat Boxes
Make adorable treat boxes shaped like Pilgrim bonnets using your colored pages. Color simple outlines of hats, and cut them out. Attach the hat cutout to a small paper or ziplock bag. Fill each bag with small treats or goodies. Gift them to friends and family as a gesture of appreciation during the festive season.
10. Floating Fall Foliage
Capture the beauty of the fall season with a leaf mobile. Print out drawings of leaves and color them in with vivid autumn colors. Cut out the shapes and attach string to each leaf. Hang the leaves from a stick or embroidery hoop. Attach clear fishing wire or colorful yarn to create a “hanger” on the mobile and add nature-inspired charm to any room.
11. Turkey Table Toppers
Set the dinner table for a Thanksgiving feast with personalized placemats. Print some doodles featuring turkeys, cornucopias, and autumn leaves.
