Thanksgiving Turkey Collage With Pie, Corn and Pilgrim Hat

A cartoon turkey stands at the lower right with its big fan tail spread out, each feather section split into bands that are ready for different colors. Around it you can find an ear of corn with the husk peeled back, a lattice-top pie in a fluted dish, a ribbed pumpkin with a curly stem, and a tall pilgrim hat with a buckle on the band. A roasted turkey sits on a platter ringed with little rolls, and a small apple with a leaf sits near the bottom. Scattered between them are a maple leaf and several smaller leaves, including an oak leaf. Since the page is free to print, you could make a few copies for a classroom table. One idea is to have kids color the turkey's tail feathers in a fall color pattern, then use the leaves to practice shading from yellow to deep red. It also works well as a talking point about foods people share at Thanksgiving dinner.
