Thankful Coloring Pages to Start a Conversation

Yesterday's gratitude wall would be a great way to use these adorable, printable thankful coloring pages from Melanie Hope Greenberg.  Print this page out, along with Melanie's Thanksgiving place cards and your kids will have 8 different designs to use for either thankful cards or place cards at the dinner table.

A great idea is to have these cards on hand for the kids to color while everyone is waiting for the celebratory Thanksgiving meal. In fact, you can turn them into conversation starters using the ideas below.

Thankful card variations:

• Kids and grown-ups can write down what they are thankful for.
• Kids and grown-ups can write down questions to ask during dinner.
• Use them for Thanksgiving charades! Write down common Thanksgiving items. Drop cards in a hat and play charades!
• Write down a brief Thanksgiving memory to share during dinner.

***Read Melanie's recent article at Huffington Post! It will make you feel thankful for where you live!***

More:

• Printable place cards (double as thankful coloring pages!)
• Printable Thanksgiving bookmarks
