About this coloring page
A smiling turkey stands on two thin legs with its chest puffed out and its wing folded at its side. Behind it, a giant fan of tail feathers spreads in rows, each feather outlined with an inner stripe. Its head has a short beak, round eyes and a dangling red wattle.
Coloring ideas
Turkey feathers look great in fall colors: red, orange, gold, brown and maroon. Try making each row of feathers a different color, or use a repeating pattern across the fan. Use brown for the body and red for the wattle.
Skills practiced
Patterns are the natural tie-in: make a red-orange-yellow pattern across the feathers, then check if it repeats correctly. For Thanksgiving, children can write something they are thankful for on each feather, which turns the page into a gratitude activity.
Printing tips
This page is perfect for November and Thanksgiving tables. Print on card stock if you want to write on the feathers, and use colored pencils for the narrow inner stripes.
