Coloring Sheets for Thanksgiving: Pilgrim with Turkey and Wampanoag Indian Child

Here are some Thanksgiving theme coloring pages! 

We host lots of coloring pages at Mediafire.com. Yeah... don't look too closely at the Wampanoag Indian boy. I draw these Coloring sheets freehand. His arm holding the bow and arrow is a little wonky. You can copy these Thanksgiving Coloring Pages and save them to your computer too, but you might have to edit the size to print. Enjoy!

I'd do a test, but someone put a starburst fruit chew in my printer this week. Alas, the title, Kids Creative Chaos. Always an event going on here. The image captions link to media fire where you can print them all nice like :)

Make your own Native American Indian Featherband by tracing your feet! Perhaps, you need a traditional Indian costume to go with it? Try this paper bag Indian dress or vest for kids. Want to go all out with your homeschool lesson on Native Americans? Teach your kids to dye like the Indians did with our Tie Dye post. For the younger kids, we made turkey and indian puppets or magnets from popsicle craft sticks. Of course you can add a history lesson, here is a little bit about Indians and persimmons. And Art too! How about a weaving lesson for kids?

  • How cool is this unique handprint turkey? They are thinking outside of the box at floortjetekent blog? But, maybe their turkeys look different than ours? Turkeys don't have combs... do they?

  • Mayhem designed this paper and pipecleaner turkey craft all by herself. She twisted the yellow pipecleaner into feet and then looped the orange one through the middle in the shape of a J. Then, she traced her handprint, cut it out, and attached it to the pipecleaner with hot glue. She twisted a loop in the top and hot glued the head to the orange pipecleaner.

To make him even more special, have your child write what they are thankful for on each feather!

Here's a list of Trip Ideas Terre Haute


Clabber Girl Baking Company Museum and Bake Shop
This is a great place for a sandwich and a cup of coffee. The museum is free and tours are self-guided. The Hulman Company owned the Clabber Girl Baking Company. You may be familiar with the Hulman name, they own the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They are also the Hulman name behind Rose Hulman Institute of Technology.

When you sit in the second dining room, you'll see this car decorated with coffee beans. You can also watch coffee grinders at work. The seating areas are full of memorabilia- like a mini-museum.

Smith Labyrinth
The Smith Labyrinth is located in Hawthorn Park. It's a floor plan of an actual labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral in France. This one is surrounded by a wildflower garden and hiking trails. Jake walked the labyrinth while we sat in a swing and watched. 






Be sure to check the time on the sun dial.



Candles Holocaust Museum
Candles Holocaust Museum was founded by Eva Kors, a Holocaust survivor. This is a very small museum tucked away in the heart of Terre Haute. At first glance, it doesn't seem like much but it is full of history! Eva was recently the Grand Marshal of the Indianapolis 500 parade.

During the Holocaust, twins were used in cruel experiments. Eva had a twin sister. The focus of the museum is Eva's experience as an Eugenics Twin. This would make an excellent topic for a homeschool research paper.

Eva and other holocaust survivors worked with Steven Spielberg to record their story. These stories were filmed at different angles with state of the art technology. This process allows you to talk to a holocaust survivor. You can ask them a question and the computer generated image will answer it as if you were sitting together.
