Thanksgiving coloring sheets feature pictures such as turkeys, pumpkin pie, and fall leaves. These recognizable images excite kids and remind them of the cozy and festive Thanksgiving atmosphere. In addition to being a fun activity, they can be used in therapy or for personal growth as they introduce coping skills.
The Thanksgiving Color By Coping Skills Coloring Pages is a 10-page activity that can be used to celebrate Thanksgiving creatively. Specific colors are tied to coping skills, and examples of these skills include singing a song, doing yoga, reading a book, and more.
Coloring these pages helps children and teens feel more relaxed and engaged, especially as they learn different coping strategies. To enhance the experience, parents and teachers may start discussions about the importance of family connections during the holiday, coping with holiday stress, and other relevant topics.
