One simple workflow

Color first, then build

Print at actual size, color while the pieces are flat, and cut around the light-gray dashed halos. Use cardstock for standees, finger puppets, place cards, and the spinner. Regular paper is easier for weaving and folding. Adults should prepare slots, lacing holes, and the spinner fastener.

Before you print

Thanksgiving craft questions

Are these just Thanksgiving coloring pages?

No. Every sheet has a craft action such as cutting and assembling, weaving, folding, lacing, spinning, standing, or making a puppet.

Which paper size should I choose?

Use US Letter for 8.5 by 11 inch paper or A4 for 210 by 297 millimeter paper. Print at actual size rather than fit to page.

Which crafts are easiest for younger children?

Start with the turkey puppet, acorn puppet, finger puppets, cornucopia, garland, or gratitude flower. An adult should help with slots, small holes, and paper fasteners.
