Food and harvest only

The eight pictures are a turkey drumstick, a bread loaf, a harvest crate, a sheaf of wheat, a gourd, a barrel, a wagon and a hay bale. None shows a person, a costume or a scene from history. The drumstick's bone is left white on an orange background.

  • Six of the eight easy grids need 3 crayons, and six of the eight use orange, so put out spare orange crayons.
  • New problems keeps the picture and changes every problem, so two tables can color one Barrel from different sheets.

Questions and answers

Do the Thanksgiving sheets come with an answer key?

They do: page 2 of the printout shows the picture colored in. It prints because the box Answer key on page 2, inside More options under the grid, starts ticked. Untick it to print the worksheet alone.

How many problems are on one sheet?

64 on the 8 by 8 size and 144 on the 12 by 12, one in every square. Untick Problems in the white squares too in More options and only colored squares hold one: 58 on the easy Turkey drumstick.

Is there a turkey to color?

A drumstick here, and the whole bird on another page. The Thanksgiving color by number page has a standing turkey, a pumpkin pie and an ear of corn, with a plain number in each square.

Can I print Thanksgiving math with no coloring?

The Thanksgiving math worksheets page does that. It prints turkey and pie stories to work out, with no picture grid and no crayons needed.

How this list was compiled: Own original pixel pictures of Thanksgiving food and harvest things, drawn square by square for this page on 8 by 8 and 12 by 12 grids. Nothing is traced or copied, and no picture shows a character from a film, show, book or game. No picture shows a person, a costume or a scene from history. The descriptions say what is drawn and make no claim about the real animal or object. The square counts were computed from the grids by script. Licence: own work
