Coloring is a fun and entertaining activity all year round, but can be particularly enjoyable when Mother Nature makes it less desirable to spend time outdoors. You know, those cold, windy days when you’d rather huddle indoors and do something relaxing while sipping hot chocolate around the fire. That’s a great time to break out your markers, color pencils or crayons and bring some color page masterpieces to life. Don’t have coloring books tucked away in the attic for the occasion? No problem! Just download some November coloring pages from the Net and go to town. There’s certainly no shortage of coloring themes to choose from at this festive time of the year.
Why Coloring?
Coloring isn’t old-fashioned nor a waste of time. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family, express your creativity and take a break from the “tech” side of life. Coloring is not only fun, it’s frugal, relaxing, easy to do, educational and therapeutic, too! Coloring will stimulate your kids’ imagination while teaching them fine motor skills. For teens and adults, it’s a great de-stressor and just helps you unwind. When it comes to coloring, what’s not to love?
November Coloring Pages
If coloring isn’t already a tradition in your home, November is a great time to introduce the concept to your family. November brings with it many festive occasions, like Thanksgiving holidays, food festivals, farm harvest, baking contests and more. All of these wonderful themes are represented in coloring pages that you can download for free online. Here are just a few ideas to help you get started:
Thanksgiving
Through Thanksgiving coloring pages, your kids can learn a lot about this holiday and why we celebrate it. Like the name implies, Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and counting your blessings. The original holiday dates all the way back to November of 1621 when the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians shared their first feast together at Plymouth. Within Thanksgiving coloring pages, you may find pictures of turkeys, Thanksgiving harvest, pumpkins, Pilgrims, Indians, people feasting and more.
Nature
November is generally characterized by crisp autumn weather, colorful leaves on trees or even light snowfall. Nature makes a great theme for coloring pages in the month of November as your kids can use so many bright colors for autumn foliage and flowers. Once you’re done coloring an autumn nature scene, you can always use your coloring pages as Thanksgiving cards, thank-you cards or birthday cards for family or friends.
Food and Harvest
In November, we enjoy such delicious foods as turkey and potatoes, cranberries, apples, pumpkins, corn on the cob and more! If your child is a picky eater, food coloring pages will help whip up his or her appetite for sure! Your child can also learn more about the fruits and veggies that are harvested during the fall.
Forest Animals
Forest animals make a good theme for autumn and are often depicted in November coloring pages for younger and older kids alike. You may find coloring pages on owls, squirrels, foxes, rabbits, beavers and fish, along with their natural habitats. Cute, cartoon animals bundled up in fall clothing are more likely to peak your younger children’s interest, while more realistic animal coloring pages will draw the attention of those who are older. If your child’s an animal buff, animal coloring pages are sure to hit the mark.
Transforming Coloring Pages into Gifts for Loved Ones
With a little ingenuity, you can put your coloring pages to use once your masterpiece is done. Completed coloring pages can be transformed into holiday placemats, greeting cards, bookmarks or wall art. You can cut out individual pictures from your coloring pages to decorate coasters, books, plain gift bags, serving trays, shelves and more.
