November Coloring Pages
November comes from the Latin word for nine, because it was the ninth month of the old Roman calendar, which started in March. Today it's the month for turkey dinners, bonfires, falling leaves and a surprising number of animal days.

November Birthdays
November’s birth flowers are the Chrysanthemum and the Peony. Chrysanthemums symbolise loyalty, joy, and longevity, brightening autumn days with their rich colors. Peonies, linked to prosperity and honour, add a note of elegance and romance to the month.
November’s birthstones are Topaz and Citrine. Topaz comes in rich golden hues and is believed to symbolise strength, wisdom, and protection. Citrine, with its warm yellow and amber tones, represents happiness, abundance, and energy. Both stones reflect the autumn sunlight, bringing warmth and cheer to those born in November and reminding them of resilience and the bright possibilities ahead.
November Special Days
Thanksgiving
In the United States, Thanksgiving lands on the fourth Thursday of November, and the story most people tell starts with a harvest feast shared by the Pilgrims and their Wampanoag neighbours in 1621. These days the table is crowded with family, pie and one very large turkey...
Native American Heritage Month
You probably say a Native word every day. Chipmunk, skunk, moose and raccoon all come from Indigenous American languages, and so do a lot of the foods and games we still enjoy.

All Saints Day
All Saints’ Day on November 1st is a day for remembering every saint, even the ones nobody knows by name. Christians have marked it for over a thousand years, and it's where Halloween gets its name: the word means the evening before All Hallows.
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead, Mexico)
In Mexico, families spend November 1st and 2nd welcoming the spirits of their loved ones back home. They build altars with candles, sugar skulls and the foods their relatives enjoyed, and bright orange marigolds are said to guide the way...

Diwali
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, falls in October or November, and for five days India glows with rows of little clay lamps in windows and on doorsteps. In one of the best-known stories, the lamps were lit to guide Rama and Sita home to the city of Ayodhya after fourteen years away...
Veteran's Day and Remembrance Day
Veteran's Day and Remembrance Day both fall on November 11th, because fighting in the First World War stopped at 11 o'clock on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. Red poppies grew across the old battlefields afterwards, and they've been the symbol of remembering ever since.

Autumn in November
Autumn Animals
Autumn is a race against winter for wild animals. Squirrels bury nuts, deer grow thicker coats and hedgehogs eat as much as they can, then curl up in a pile of leaves for their winter sleep.
Fall Leaves
Leaves don't really change color in autumn. The yellows and oranges were hiding under the green all summer, and they show up once the trees stop making the green chlorophyll that covered them. Raking them into a giant pile is the best part.
Harvest Time
A farm is busiest in autumn, when pumpkins, apples and corn all seem to be ready at once. The scarecrows stay out in the field the whole time, keeping the crows away from the crops.
Cosy Indoors
Football Season
November is the heart of football season. From backyard games to packed stadiums, it's a sport that turns a group of people into a team and a crowd of strangers into fans.

National Turkey Day (Thanksgiving in the United States) - Fourth Thursday in November
Turkeys are native to North America, and people were eating them long before the first Thanksgiving. A wild turkey can fly short distances and sleeps high in the trees at night, and the males show off with a fan of tail feathers and a gobble you can hear from a long way off.
International Jaguar Day - November 29
The jaguar is the biggest cat in the Americas, and it's one of the few big cats that loves the water, hunting fish and caimans in rivers. Losing its forest home is its biggest challenge, so International Jaguar Day is about protecting the places it lives.
World Anteater Day
World Anteater Day started in Brazil in 2014, which is why you'll also hear it called World Tamandua Day, after Brazil's tree-climbing anteater. It's a day to learn about animals that are losing their forests and grasslands.
One giant anteater can slurp up thousands of ants and termites in a single day.
From falling leaves to festive celebrations, November’s coloring pages capture the beauty and reflection of the season. Whether you’re honouring traditions, learning about nature, or cosying up indoors, these pages invite you to celebrate all the warmth and wonder this month brings.
