Fun Things To Do With Your Ariel Coloring Pages
Once you’ve colored in your favorite Ariel designs, there’s so much more you can do with them! Below are several fun and creative ways to turn your finished coloring sheets into ocean-themed crafts, decorations, and gifts that kids will love.
1. Make an Under-the-Sea Collage
Gather your finished Ariel coloring pages and cut out your favorite characters—Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, or even the seaweed and shells. Glue them onto a blue poster board to create an underwater scene. Add cotton balls for bubbles, glitter for magical sparkle, and maybe even real seashells for texture. This makes a great group classroom project or a fun rainy-day craft at home.
2. Create an Ariel Storybook
Print out several Ariel coloring sheets and bind them together with staples or a hole punch and ribbon to make a homemade storybook. Kids can color the pages and write their own short stories on the back about Ariel’s adventures. It’s a fun literacy activity that combines art and storytelling.
3. Turn Ariel Pages into Stickers
After coloring, scan or take photos of your finished pages. Print them on sticker paper (available in most office supply stores) and cut out your favorite parts. These Ariel stickers can be used to decorate notebooks, water bottles, or party invitations. You can even laminate them for extra durability.
4. Design a Mermaid-Themed Mobile
Cut out Ariel and her friends from your colored pages and punch a small hole at the top of each one. Tie a piece of string through each and hang them from a coat hanger or a circular hoop. Hang seashells, paper fish, and ribbons in between for extra flair. This ocean mobile looks adorable hanging in a child’s bedroom or art corner.
5. Make Ariel Party Decorations
Use your printable Ariel coloring sheets as decorations for a Little Mermaid–themed party! You can color and cut out the images to make cupcake toppers, place cards, or wall banners. Kids can even color their own during the party as a fun activity. Having a “color your own Ariel” station is always a hit!
6. Create an Ariel Puzzle
Once your child has finished coloring an Ariel sheet, glue it onto thin cardboard or cardstock. When dry, cut it into puzzle pieces of different shapes. Mix them up and see if your child can put their creation back together! This DIY puzzle is both a craft and a fun game to play afterward.
7. Make an Ocean Scene Window Art
To turn your Ariel coloring pages into window decorations, trace your finished design onto thin transparency paper or parchment. Add color using markers, then tape them to a sunny window. When light shines through, it creates a stained-glass effect that looks magical—just like under the sea.
8. Ariel Bookmark Craft
Print and color a few smaller Ariel coloring pages, then cut them into rectangular strips. Glue them onto cardstock for strength, and decorate with glitter or ocean stickers. Punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon tail—perfect for marking pages in your favorite books or school notebooks.
9. Make a Mermaid Treasure Box
Use an empty shoebox or small cardboard box as your treasure chest. Decorate the lid with cutouts from your Ariel coloring sheets. Add gems, sequins, and shiny foil to make it sparkle. This DIY treasure box is perfect for keeping small toys, jewelry, or keepsakes.
10. Ariel Greeting Cards
Fold a sheet of cardstock in half and glue a colored Ariel page to the front. Write a sweet message inside and give it as a birthday or thank-you card. These homemade cards are especially cute for Little Mermaid–themed birthdays and are a thoughtful way to share your artwork.
11. DIY Ariel Wall Art
If you’ve colored a particularly pretty Ariel page, why not frame it? Use a colorful frame or even make one out of popsicle sticks. You can decorate the frame with seashells or beads to complete the look. Hang your masterpiece in your room for an instant under-the-sea vibe.
12. Make an Ariel Magnet Set
Scan and resize your finished Ariel coloring pages, print them on photo paper, and glue them to magnetic sheets. Cut around the designs to make custom fridge magnets. These make adorable gifts or fun decorations for your kitchen.
13. Create a Mermaid Scrapbook
Collect all your Ariel and other ocean-themed coloring sheets and put them together in a scrapbook. Add photos from beach trips, tickets from aquarium visits, or shells you’ve found. It’s a fun way to preserve memories and display your artwork at the same time.
14. Ariel Lantern Craft
Turn your finished coloring sheets into a soft-glow lantern! Wrap a colored Ariel sheet around a clean jar and tape or glue the edges. Place a battery-powered tea light inside (never a real flame), and watch your design glow beautifully at night. It’s a lovely bedside decoration for mermaid fans.
15. Make an Ariel Shadow Box
Use a small box or picture frame with depth. Glue your colored Ariel page to the back, then add cut-out sea creatures and small craft materials like sand or shells to the front to make a 3D underwater scene. It’s a unique display piece that really stands out.
These fun and easy craft ideas make the most of your Ariel coloring pages long after the coloring is done. From puzzles and mobiles to lanterns and greeting cards, there are endless ways to enjoy these free printable PDF coloring sheets.
