About this coloring page
A tabby kitty in a maple-leaf sweater sits at a round wooden table covered with homemade cards. One card already has a pumpkin on it, another is half finished, and two envelopes wait to be filled. Around the table: a cup of colored pencils, a little pumpkin, a plaid blanket over the chair and a big window with leaves blowing outside. The shapes are large and the outline is thick, so it is a good first page for preschoolers, while the leaves in the window give older kids something to fill in.
Printing and coloring tips
Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Plain 80–100 gsm copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; for markers, use thicker paper or put a scrap sheet underneath so the ink doesn't bleed through. Detailed scenes like this one are easier with fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils.
Ideas for this page
- After coloring, fold a real piece of paper in half and draw your own Thanksgiving card — just like the kitty.
- Use the same three colors for the leaves on the cards and the leaves outside the window so the page looks finished.
Questions
Is this page good for toddlers?
Yes — the kitty and the table are big, simple shapes. Toddlers can scribble the big areas and leave the small leaves for later.
