Fun Things To Do With Your Dr. Seuss Coloring Pages
1. Create a Seussical Storybook
After coloring a bunch of your favorite Dr. Seuss coloring sheets, turn them into your very own storybook. You can print the PDF pages, staple them together, and write your own silly rhymes at the bottom of each page. Kids can retell a classic story or invent a brand-new adventure using the familiar characters. Decorate the cover with glitter, stickers, or foam letters for extra fun.
2. Make a Cat in the Hat Headband
Choose a coloring page that features the Cat in the Hat. After coloring it in, carefully cut out the character’s iconic red and white striped hat. Glue or tape it onto a strip of cardstock or construction paper that fits around your head. Now you’ve got your own headband to wear while reading your favorite Dr. Seuss book!
3. Seuss-Inspired Classroom Door Decor
Teachers can print multiple coloring sheets featuring different Dr. Seuss characters and have students color them. Then, use the finished artwork to decorate the classroom door for Read Across America Week or Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Add some rhyming quotes and big colorful letters to finish the look.
4. DIY Dr. Seuss Puzzles
After coloring in a Dr. Seuss PDF coloring page, glue it onto a piece of thin cardboard like a cereal box. Once it’s dry, cut it into puzzle pieces. You can make it as easy or tricky as you want based on how many pieces you cut. This makes a great quiet activity for kids or a homemade gift for a friend.
5. Design a Reading Buddy Bookmark
Pick a character like Horton or Sam-I-Am and print a small version of the coloring sheet. After coloring and cutting out the character, glue it onto a strip of cardstock. Add a fun quote like “I do not like green eggs and ham!” and laminate it if possible. Now you have a fun and unique bookmark to use in your favorite book.
6. Truffula Tree Craft
Use a Lorax-themed coloring page and focus on the colorful Truffula trees. After coloring them, cut out the tops of the trees. Then glue them onto drinking straws or craft sticks. You can even make a Seuss-style forest scene by sticking the trees into playdough or a foam base. Great for classroom displays or home windows!
7. Dr. Seuss Memory Game
Print two copies of several different Dr. Seuss coloring sheets and color them the exact same way. Cut each character out into cards. Mix them up and turn them upside down for a homemade memory matching game. This helps with focus, memory, and fine motor skills while still having fun.
8. Story Time Puppet Show
Turn your coloring sheets into puppets by coloring and cutting out the characters, then gluing them onto craft sticks or paper tubes. You can make a whole puppet theater using a cardboard box and act out scenes from the books. Try voices and rhymes to make it even more fun!
9. Seussical Window Art
After finishing a coloring page, tape it up in a sunny window. You can even color on thin tracing paper or print the PDF on vellum to let the light shine through. It turns your artwork into bright and cheerful window art for your room or classroom.
10. Character Collage Poster
Print several free Dr. Seuss coloring sheets and color all your favorite characters. Cut each one out and glue them together on a large piece of poster board to create a huge collage. Add quotes, book titles, and glitter for a big, bold wall decoration.
11. Oh, The Places You’ll Go! Goal Board
Use the “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” coloring pages to make a goal board. After coloring, add sticky notes or labels with your goals and dreams written on them. It’s a fun way to encourage positive thinking and motivation in kids, especially at the start of a school year or summer vacation.
12. Grinch Countdown Chain
Color in a Grinch-themed coloring sheet, and then make a countdown chain leading up to Christmas. For each day, tear off a link on the paper chain until it’s time to read How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The colored Grinch can be the top of the chain, showing his big green grin as the days pass.
13. Lorax Earth Day Poster
Use a Lorax coloring sheet for an Earth Day craft. After coloring, glue it to a poster board and write messages about saving the planet, recycling, and planting trees. Hang it in the classroom or at home as a reminder to care for the environment, just like the Lorax.
