Coloring page story

It was Ali's first time helping set the big table. One fork. One spoon. One plate. It was hard work! "Thank you for the plates that hold our food," he said. "Thank you for the spoons for the soup." When he was done, he felt so proud. He was a big helper!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The blocky, geometric shapes are fantastic for children aged 3-5, as they are very distinct and easy to fill. The repetitive task of coloring plates and placemats is great for practicing motor control. The theme of helping and feeling proud is a key developmental milestone and a positive thanksgiving message.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

You're a big helper, just like Ali! Let's get the table ready for thanksgiving dinner. You can make each plate a different color. What color will the placemats be? You can even draw your favorite food on the empty plates! Oh, and look at the sleepy kitty! What color is the cozy cat?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This page prints well on any standard paper. After coloring, you can cut out the little plates and utensils for a pretend play session, extending the life of the activity beyond just coloring. This reinforces the thanksgiving theme of setting a table.

Recommended Tools

Stickers! In addition to crayons or markers, giving a child stickers of food (like fruits or vegetables) to place on the empty plates can be a fun, interactive addition to this coloring activity. It adds another layer of fine motor practice.
