About This Project

A 5–15 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — White Glue, Cotton Balls, and Tissue Paper.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Thanksgiving Coloring Pages

    Your creative buddy says:
    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Print the coloring pages

    May need grown-up help
    Ask an adult to help you print the Thanksgiving coloring pages.

    Step 2: Color the pages

    Use crayons or markers to color the Thanksgiving pictures. You can color inside the lines, or you can be creative and color outside the lines!

    Step 3: Add texture (optional)

    Glue pieces of tissue paper onto the coloring pages to add texture. You can also use washi tape to make interesting patterns.

    Step 4: Add cotton ball clouds (optional)

    If you want to add clouds to the sky, glue cotton balls onto the coloring page.
