Supplies

  • 1 piece Cardstock paper, 8.5" x 11" or 8.5" x 14"), 110 lb recommended
  • Black and white printer, or access to print shop/library
  • Crayons, markers, or colored pencils

Instructions

  • Download the printable: Enter your email address in the opt-in box above to unlock the free Thanksgiving Activity Placemat. The PDF includes both letter-size (8.5" x 11") and legal-size (8.5" x 14") versions.
  • Choose your version: Decide whether you'd like to print the standard letter-size or legal-size version. The legal-size version includes two bonus activities!
  • Print your placemats: Use your home printer or a local print shop for best results. For legal-size printing, your local library typically charges just 10-25 cents per page. We recommend printing on sturdy cardstock for durability. In your printer settings, choose "actual size" to make sure the printable fills the entire page.
  • Distribute to kids: Place a placemat at each child's seat along with coloring supplies and watch them enjoy completing all the activities!

Notes

  • The legal-size version (8.5" x 14") includes two bonus activities that aren't available on the standard letter-size version, providing extra entertainment for kids. I print my legal-size placemats at my local library for very inexpensive (usually just 10-25 cents per page) since I don't typically keep legal paper at home.
