Thanksgiving ABCs Table Placemat

Make learning fun at the Thanksgiving table with this Thanksgiving ABCs Printable Placemat—a playful, educational coloring activity that helps kids practice their alphabet while celebrating the holiday! Little learners can match letters with cute Thanksgiving-themed illustrations like “T is for Turkey”, building letter recognition and vocabulary as they color.

Creative ways to extend this activity:

  2. Print two copies and create a fun memory matching game.

  3. Color and then laminate their placemat to reuse it year after year.
