Detailed Turkey Advanced Coloring Page

This detailed turkey was the first in our collection of “adult coloring pages,” or advanced coloring pages for older students. The tail feathers, body and wings are filled with small doodle-style patterns such as swirls, scallops, zigzags, waves and stripes, so there’s lots of space for color and detail. It’s a single full-page coloring sheet, and a great one to relax and color after a busy Thanksgiving day.

Ways to use it

• Fine-tip markers, gel pens or sharp colored pencils work best for the small pattern sections.
• Offer it to older students as a calm, quiet activity in November: during indoor recess, after a test, or for early finishers.
• Try a color challenge: use only three or four colors, or give every pattern its own color.
• Display finished turkeys together on a Thanksgiving bulletin board. No two will look the same.
• At home, set out copies and colored pencils on Thanksgiving Day for older kids and grown-ups to color together.
