About this coloring page
A big roast turkey with tied drumsticks rests in the center of a large oval platter. Around it are sliced vegetables, carrots, sprigs of herbs and small round garnishes. The platter has a wide rim that frames the whole dish. Paper frills decorate the ends of the drumsticks, just like a fancy holiday dinner.
Coloring ideas
Color the turkey golden brown with darker edges where it is crispiest. Carrots are orange, herbs green and the platter can be white, blue or patterned. Add a tablecloth underneath for a complete scene.
Skills practiced
Talk about the foods families eat on Thanksgiving and how different families have different traditions. Children can draw their own favorite side dishes around the platter. Ask them to name each food on the platter and say whether it grows above or below the ground.
Printing tips
The garnish has many small parts, so colored pencils are a good choice. Print it with the dinner table page for a holiday meal set. Younger children can color the turkey and platter in big strokes and skip the garnish.
