TURKEY FOLIAGE Coloring Page Featured Above

Thanksgiving coloring pages are a great holiday activity. They are perfect to keep the kids busy while you are preparing for the feast and are sure to be much enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day. Not only do the younger kids love them but you are sure to have a few adults coloring a Thanksgiving masterpiece.

We have shared a selection of the very best free Thanksgiving coloring pages. There are many cute and simple coloring pages perfect for small children and also there are more intricate coloring pages, like a turkey zentangle, that teens and adults are sure to enjoy.

Just click on a link below for a full-size Thanksgiving coloring page ready for printing. We hope you enjoy them!

If you are printing many coloring pages this Thanksgiving, here is a great money saving tip: set your printer to use only black ink when printing the coloring page. Even though the lines of the coloring pages are black, if color printing is enabled the printer will use ink from the three color cartridges instead of just from the much cheaper black ink cartridge. Also, for inkjet printers, look to enable economy mode, draft mode, or ink saver mode. Your coloring pages will still look great but less ink will be used for the lines!

The Best FREE Halloween Origami Tutorials

October 11, 2022October 11, 2022 sageandmi

There are so many Halloween origami designs available. However, not all of them are equally amazing or free. In this post we are presenting our top free Halloween origami choices and sorting them into levels: Easy, Intermediate, and Advanced.

What goes into our origami evaluation for a diagram or pattern to meet our standards? First, it needs to be an authentic origami model. Meaning it must involve only folding paper. For Halloween origami, we will make an exception to allow for the use of a pen. If it requires scissors, glue, google eyes, etc, it’s out… Second, the finished origami model needs to look cute or realistic. No questioning it like, “I guess this blob COULD be a ghost”.

We’ll get to the free origami list but first… FREE printable Halloween-themed Origami paper! This is so perfect for throwing together a craft for a Halloween party for kids and adults. Also for making some extra festive decor.

Now for the Origami models… We hope you enjoy them!
