Fun Things To Do With Your Coloring Pages

Here are some exciting and creative ways to turn your coloring pages into fun projects. These ideas are great for kids, families, classrooms, and anyone who wants to get crafty!

1. Create a Coloring Book Collection

Print out several different coloring pages and let your child or student color each one. Once completed, staple the pages together or use a hole punch and ribbon to bind them into a homemade coloring book. Kids can decorate the front cover and even give the book as a gift to family members or friends.

2. Make Custom Greeting Cards

After coloring a page, fold it in half and trim it to create a personalized greeting card. Use blank inside spaces to write a message. These cards are perfect for birthdays, holidays, or thank-you notes. Choose themed coloring sheets to match the occasion, like hearts for Valentine’s Day or pumpkins for Halloween.

3. Turn Pages into Wall Art

Once your coloring page is finished, frame it! Use a simple frame or make one out of cardboard and decorate it with stickers, buttons, or glitter. This turns your artwork into a special decoration for a bedroom, playroom, or classroom wall.

4. Use in a Learning Binder

Add educational coloring pages—like the alphabet, numbers, or shapes—to a binder for early learners. As kids color each page, they reinforce basic concepts in a fun and memorable way. Use plastic page protectors so the pages can be reused with dry-erase markers.

5. DIY Puzzle Activity

After coloring a page, glue it to a piece of cardstock or thin cardboard. Then, cut it into puzzle pieces of different shapes and sizes. Let kids mix up the pieces and reassemble their own custom-made puzzle. It’s both a fun activity and a great way to build problem-solving skills.

6. Make a Mobile

Pick several themed coloring pages—like birds, stars, or animals—and color them in. Cut them out and punch a small hole in the top of each. Tie string through the holes and hang them from a coat hanger or stick to create a colorful mobile. This project is perfect for bedroom décor or classroom displays.

7. Design a Storybook

Choose character-based coloring pages or scenes that can be strung together to tell a story. After coloring each one, write a few sentences on the back or on a separate page describing what’s happening. Staple them together to create a one-of-a-kind storybook authored and illustrated by your child.

8. Make a Reward Chart

Print a series of coloring sheets and label them with tasks, goals, or behaviors (like “Clean Room,” “Finish Homework,” or “Be Kind”). As each task is completed, kids get to color in the corresponding page. Once all the sheets are done, reward them with a treat or certificate.

9. Create Holiday Decorations

Color themed pages for specific holidays—like snowmen for winter, flowers for spring, or fireworks for the Fourth of July. Cut them out and hang them around the house or classroom to decorate for the season. You can even tape them to windows for a fun display.

10. Turn into Stick Puppets

After coloring characters or animals, glue them to a popsicle stick or straw. Use these stick puppets for storytelling, puppet shows, or pretend play. You can even create a small puppet theater using a cardboard box.

11. Craft Bookmarks

Trim the edges of a coloring page to make long, narrow rectangles. Decorate and laminate them to turn them into unique bookmarks. You can punch a hole in the top and add ribbon or tassels for extra flair.

12. Use as Wrapping Paper

Print and color a larger-sized design or tile several small pages together to make DIY wrapping paper. This is especially fun for gifts from kids to teachers, grandparents, or friends. Add ribbon or a handmade tag to complete the look.

13. Build a Color Matching Game

Print duplicates of simple shape or object coloring pages. Color them in with different shades and cut them apart. Mix them up and have kids match the colors or the identical pages. This makes a fun and educational game for preschoolers.

14. Make a Memory Game

Print and color two copies of several different small images. Cut each out and place them face down in a grid to play a memory-matching game. Kids can flip over two at a time to try to find a pair, improving their memory and focus while having fun.

15. Assemble a Time Capsule

Let your child color a favorite page and write their name and the date on the back. Add a note about their current favorite color, activity, or toy. Place it in a box with other mementos and store it away as a time capsule. Open it in a few years for a special trip down memory lane.
