WHAT STUDENTS LEARN

Students practice mindfulness through coloring to support emotional regulation and focus, develop fine motor control and pattern awareness, and explore seasonal symbolism and gratitude themes. They also apply the Elements of Art: line, shape and pattern.

HOW TO USE IT

This is a print-and-go resource. Print and photocopy the pages you want, and encourage students to color slowly, filling in each shape one at a time. Use the pages for Thanksgiving classroom activities, calm-down corners, early finisher bins, homeschool Thanksgiving units, sub plans or quiet art centers before the holiday break.
