Thank You Coloring Pages

Three free thank-you coloring pages that turn into a card once they're colored: "Thank You" in big bubble letters framed by smiling flowers and hearts, the same words inside a ring of autumn leaves and acorns, and a sunny one with a rainbow, clouds and a bunch of balloons.

A colored page makes a thank-you that teachers, grandparents, coaches and neighbors actually keep. The letters are large and hollow, so even a preschooler can fill them in, and there's room to write a name or a short message on the back. Each sheet prints on one US-letter page; fold it in half for a card, or color it on screen with Color it online and send the picture.

A few ideas: color each letter of "Thank You" a different color, outline the letters in a darker shade of the same color, or fill the background with a pattern of dots. The autumn page suits Thanksgiving, and the flowers and rainbow work any time of year.
