So now that its the first of November, I’ll be printing out our Thanksgiving coloring pictures and putting them in a folder for the little kids to choose from each day. It’s time for Thanksgiving celebrations to begin. And while it seems like the rest of the world is rushing ahead to Christmas at full speed, we are slowing down, and relishing the gift of life together. At least thats what I hope my kids walk away with. I guess only time will tell.

At our house, the celebration starts with these beautiful Thanksgiving coloring pictures for my kids to enjoy as we begin talking about Thankfulness, reading verses about Thanksgiving in the Bible, and preparing our hearts for a season of gratitude for all the blessings we’ve been given. I’ve found that giving the kids a coloring page and some markers or crayons helps them be still as they listen to God’s word or even picture books and stories about Thanksgiving!

Since this set includes some imagery from the first Thanksgiving, its perfect to give the kids when you are reading about the history of the holiday. You will notice that our free Thanksgiving coloring pages are simple and basic lines so that even the youngest child can enjoy coloring them, while older children still enjoy the detail and variety this set provides, since it is not all turkeys.

Children will love seeing their works of art displayed prominently in your home as the holiday approaches too. Set aside a wall or sliding glass door to hang up the various thanksgiving worksheets and coloring pages they are finishing. Its really exciting when Grandma and Grandpa or visiting friends notice their handiwork!

I know some of you are saying – but my kids don’t even like coloring pictures! And I know that is for sure true of some kids. One of my favorite memories of my oldest was watching her sit and color and draw and cut and paste for hours at the kitchen table with her little brother and sister. They followed her lead and every time I got all the stuff out it was at least a couple hours of peace! Today, my oldest is getting her degree in Graphic Communications and still enjoys creating and making on a daily basis.

So, that was my three oldest children who are now teens, and it doesn’t quite work like that for my youngest three. But, if for no other reason than peace for mom, it is worth working with your kids to see if they can learn to enjoy coloring and creating. If not our Thanksgiving Coloring Pictures though, you might have more luck getting them to sit still with this set of free Thanksgiving Lego challenges.

If you are wondering how else you might display your child’s finished thanksgiving coloring pictures, you might consider letting them color with marker, and then cutting out around the image. Then you can laminate the picture, and hang it in a window to collect light. They are to opaque to make stained glass, but they are pretty that way none-the-less. You could also simply mount on card stock to set them apart from the wall and make them a little more special. It looks like a pretty, colorful frame that way and adds to the holiday feel. Or consider spiral binding the coloring pages and making a little book to keep for remembering. Kids love this!

    I went to download your free Thanksgiving Scriptures Copywork ebook and it isn’t free – it cost $0.99 via PayPal. Did I miss the timeframe of the free book?

      The Thanksgiving Scripture Copywork has never been free. I am sorry for the confusion. It is normally $3.99 and is on sale right now for 99 cents. Would you mind telling me where you saw it listed as “free”?

    It is directly in the blog post above. The very last sentence says: “We print out my free Thanksgiving Scriptures Copywork ebook and everybody gets to pick their favorites to copy. We find free Thanksgiving printables, read our favorite Thanksgiving books and just generally have a lot of fun while building a unit study around Thanksgiving.”

    I guess that is where I got confused – the “my free Thanksgiving Scriptures Copywork ebook” and there is a link for it to be $0.99 online, not free.

        I apologize. That was a typo on my part. I started to reference the coloring pages in this post and then went back and changed it to the Copywork but didn’t take out the free part.

    I’m old and cranky and not very techy … and I cannot figure out how to download the coloring pages. My special needs’ 8 year old suddenly “loves to color”, and I thought he might like these. I clicked on the “–>Download your Thanksgiving Coloring Pages Here. <–", and that brings me to an "untitled" web page, but no coloring pages. Please help my brain know what to do.

    Thanks.

      When it opens the second, untitled page, the file actually downloads to your computer in that instant. If you are on a MAC, it goes into your downloads file. I am not sure where it goes on a PC, but it goes somewhere. You just need to figure out where your downloads are stored and you will find the coloring pages. 🙂

      I had the same problem with the link opening a blank “untitled” web page and didn’t download. I fixed it by adding a “h” in front of the ttp in the address bar. It should be http. The pdf came right up then. Thanks for the coloring pages! They’re great.

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
