The websites listed below offer a variety of Thanksgiving or autumn-themed coloring and activity pages that can keep tiny hands busy. In some cases, kids can color the pages or complete the activities on a computer instead of on paper, if you prefer. 01 of 08 Best for Crayon Coloring: Thanksgiving Coloring Pages From Crayola What We Like Offers a variety of activities. No login required. Can print pages or color online. What We Don't Like Selection could be bigger. When it comes to coloring, Crayola wrote the book. The company's website offers more than a dozen coloring and activity pages, including five Bingo boards, a match game, and more. You can print any of the pages or color pages online using digital crayons, pencils, and markers. Besides coloring turkeys, people, and food, kids can draw faces, create Thanksgiving cards and place settings, and write Thanksgiving messages. They can also cut, color, and assemble a paper turkey.

Visit Activity Village 03 of 08 Best for Paper-Based Projects: PaperToys What We Like Fun paper model projects. What We Don't Like Only three projects are available. Scissors are involved, and some supervision may be required. PaperToys.com specializes in paper toys and models, some of which are fairly elaborate. It offers three Thanksgiving-themed cutouts: a Pilgrim, a turkey and chick, and a turkey. Two of the models are black and white, which isn't a huge deal, but they might be a bit more durable if you didn't need to color them with crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Still, it's a fun project and should keep kids busy for at least five minutes. Younger kids may need supervision with scissors and a little help with the cuts and folds. Visit PaperToys.com 04 of 08 Best for Educational Activities: AllKidsNetwork What We Like A variety of educational activities and worksheets. Offers things to do for older kids. Craft projects include helpful photos. What We Don't Like The site has lots of ads. If you do it right, you can sneak some educational worksheets in among the coloring pages and Bingo games. The AllKidsNetwork website has a collection of worksheets that are as fun as they are educational.

Most images also have a Thanksgiving greeting. The site includes several Thanksgiving-themed lined journal pages that kids can use to start or maintain a journal or write stories. You'll also find a printable guide to making a box to hold nuts or small candies, printable word search and word scramble puzzles, and printable activity cards. Visit TheTeachersCorner.net 06 of 08 Best for Kids Who Love Math: Super Teacher Worksheets What We Like Spelling and math worksheets for kids. Large selection of activities. What We Don't Like Might be a little too school-like for some kids. A login and paid membership are required for some downloads. The Super Teacher Worksheets website is full of activities that are educational and fun. With the mystery picture math worksheets, the goal is to solve the addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problems and then use the answers and the color key at the bottom of the page to color the turkey.

Plus, you'll find a Thanksgiving crossword puzzle, word search, and crypto-code riddle. There's also a Thanksgiving Bingo game and instructions for cutting out and assembling a Thanksgiving diorama. Visit Super Teacher Worksheets 07 of 08 More Math and Word Activities: Kidzone What We Like Activities are separated by school grade. Large selection of worksheets. What We Don't Like Worksheets look a little too much like homework. Kidzone has a collection of printable Thanksgiving-themed math and word problem worksheets for kids in grades 1 through 5. The math problems cover the basics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), as well as other concepts, such as carrying numbers, finding missing factors, working with decimals, and division with and without remainders. Each worksheet has a lighthearted illustration that lessens the stress of dealing with math, even if just a bit. You can create multiple versions of each worksheet by clicking the Generate New Worksheet link at the top of each worksheet page. The Kidzone website also has puzzles, coloring pages, and other printables for kids of all ages. Visit KidZone 08 of 08 Create a Quilted Banner: Holiday Crafts and Creations What We Like None of the other sites offer a quilted banner. What We Don't Like Only two offerings on this site. Although Holiday Crafts and Creations only offers two coloring pages, we really liked the Quilted Banner page. It's different from anything we've seen on other websites. Better yet, one of the pages doesn't include a turkey. We have nothing against turkeys, but there are other ways to represent Thanksgiving and the fall season, and something unusual always catches our eye.
