Printable Thanksgiving Placemats for Kids
Looking for a fun but simple Thanksgiving activity for your kids? Just print these free Thanksgiving placemats, give your students a box of crayons, and let them create their masterpieces!
There are 3 different placemats to color in this printable set:
- Our fall-themed “Happy Thanksgiving” placemats include some fun, fall items to color such as leaves, acorns, and naturally a cute little turkey.

- The second “Happy Thanksgiving” placemat option also includes a turkey to color, as well as a fun letter T recognition game, where students are asked to color all the T’s.

- Our “Give Thanks” placemats include fall leaves and a fun turkey to color, with the turkey peeking from behind the plate.

Ways to Use the Placemats
All of the placemats have a fork, spoon, and an empty plate to color. Kids can get really creative on the empty plate. You could ask them to draw their favorite meal or whatever they like.
If you are completing this activity ahead of the big Thanksgiving meal then I recommend laminating these printable placemats after they have been colored. Then your students can take them home and use them year after year!
Another option is to laminate them before they are colored. Then your kids can color them with dry erase markers. They can erase and color again and again as many times as they want!
Now all that is left is for you to print these and share them with your kiddos!

I love your website. It contains useful articles that have been very helpful to me. I really appreciate you sharing them.
I’m sure this blog page will be more helpful to a good deal of readers like me.
Love these. Sharing this in a new post on how to get the kids involved in a family Thanksgiving. Thanks!
How wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!
Yes! Thanksgiving Thanks is something not just kids need to be involved- everyone. Holidays are too commercialized. Christmas ads have literally drowned out Thanksgiving
Thanks for these! I shared them on a Thanksgiving roundup here https://www.simplyameryn.com/creative-thanksgiving-day-decor/
These would be great for keeping the kids table busy… well, for a few minutes at least I suppose 😂
