Thanksgiving is all about fun, family and food, and what better way to entertain your kids (and adults, too) than with Thanksgiving coloring sheets? Handing your child a few themed coloring pages can be a lifesaver when you are looking for a little quiet time or when you are cooking dinner. Instead of being counter-productive, they’re fun and creativity-inspiring, and a great way to make lasting memories. Picture this: the relatives are chatting in the living room, your turkey is in the oven and the kids? They can color the pilgrims, pumpkins and turkeys in peace. I think it’s the best screen free quiet time activity. It’s also a fun thing to help keep the spirit alive!
Benefits of coloring for children and adults
Coloring isn’t just for kids. This soothing and relaxing activity isn't just for kids! It enhances motor skills, promotes focus and slows everything down on a time of the year when things are getting busier and busier with holiday set up. And it can help you, no matter your age, de-stress with a crayon in hand.
