Coloring page story

Leo the little boy patted the big, round, orange pumpkin. "What are you thankful for, Mr. Pumpkin?" he asked. The pumpkin didn't say anything. Mama smiled. "He's thankful for the sunshine that made him grow and the rain that helped him drink." Leo hugged the pumpkin. "I'm thankful for you, Mr. Pumpkin. You're going to be a yummy pie!"

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design uses simple, rounded shapes and thick, clear outlines, which are ideal for the developing motor skills of 3-5 year olds. The large, uncluttered areas are easy to fill with color, preventing frustration. The theme of being thankful for a pumpkin is a concrete and easily understood concept of thanksgiving for this age group.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello little artist! You can bring Leo and his pumpkin friend to life. What color will you make the big pumpkin? You could use a bright orange, or maybe a funny yellow! Leo's shirt has lots of room for your favorite color. Don't forget the little blades of grass at the bottom. Every color you add makes the picture happier!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print on medium-weight paper or light cardstock, which holds up well to both crayons and markers. Use your printer's 'black and white' or 'grayscale' setting to get crisp, clear lines. Printing a few copies allows for color experiments, enhancing the creative thanksgiving fun.

Recommended Tools

Large, chunky crayons are perfect for little hands learning to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. Both tools allow children to fill the large spaces easily and express their creativity in this thanksgiving-themed artwork.
