Sharing & Caring Thanksgiving Day Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Squeaky the Squirrel had worked hard all autumn. His hollow log was full of the best acorns. "These are all for me!" he chattered to himself.

But then he saw Rabbit, shivering in the cold. He saw Finch, looking for seeds. He saw Badger, looking sleepy and slow. Squeaky looked at his big pile of acorns. It felt... too quiet.

"Wait!" he called out. "I have enough to share!"

Soon, all his friends were gathered around his log, nibbling on the nuts. The sound of happy munching was much better than the quiet. Squeaky learned that a shared nut is the crunchiest nut of all.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The anthropomorphic style, where animals act like humans, is highly engaging for 3-5 year olds. It makes the concept of sharing easy to understand. The characters are simple, friendly, and distinct, with large areas to color. This clear, narrative scene helps children follow the story visually, reinforcing the Thanksgiving Day message of generosity and community.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, look at all the friends sharing together! Let's give them some color. You can make Squeaky the Squirrel brown with a big fluffy tail. What colors will his friends be? You can make the rabbit grey, the bird blue, and the badger black and white! Don't forget to color all the yummy acorns they are sharing for their special Thanksgiving meal.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print a few copies in case your child wants to try different color combinations or share the activity with a friend, just like Squeaky! Standard 8.5x11 inch paper works perfectly. A clean print makes the Thanksgiving Day story come alive.

Recommended Tools

Washable dot markers can be a fun, low-mess way for toddlers to fill in the large areas like the log and the animals' bodies. For more detail, like the acorns, chunky colored pencils offer better precision. Always supervise a creative session for a safe and happy Thanksgiving Day activity.
