Educational Uses for November
These illustrations serve as a visual aid for teaching early American history. When discussing the 1620 Mayflower voyage, children can color the historic ship and the arrival at Plymouth Rock. The pages in the feast section help illustrate the cooperation between the Wampanoag people and the early settlers during the 1621 harvest festival.
Discussing how they learned to plant native crops adds context to the coloring activity. Teachers often use these sheets as quiet morning work or alongside historical lesson plans during the short holiday week.
Coloring the Harvest and Clothing
The traditional clothing of the settlers offers a chance to talk about 17th-century life. While many assume they only wore black and white, historians note they wore earth tones like brown, green, and dark red. You can encourage children to use a realistic palette for these historical figures.
- Use deep greens and browns for the harvest gathering scenes.
- Color the autumn pumpkins and cornucopias with bright oranges and yellows.
- Add warm, glowing colors to the vintage chamber candle and wild turkey feathers.
Holiday Table Activities
Keeping children occupied while the Thanksgiving meal is being prepared can be a challenge. Printing a few of these sheets and placing them at the kids table with a cup of crayons provides a simple, mess-free activity.
The cute, cartoon-style illustrations are especially well-suited for preschoolers and early elementary students who prefer larger, open spaces to color. Older children might enjoy the more detailed scenes of the Plymouth settlement and the large family dinners.
