Fun Things To Do With Your Duck Coloring Pages
Once your child has finished coloring their duck masterpiece, don’t let the fun stop there! Here are some awesome craft ideas and DIY projects that use these duck coloring sheets in creative ways.
1. Duck Pond Diorama
Turn your coloring pages into a 3D duck pond scene. Have your child color and cut out the duck images. Then, use a shoebox turned on its side as the base of your diorama. Glue blue paper or use tissue paper for the water, and add green construction paper for grass. Place the ducks inside using small folded paper tabs to make them stand up. You can even add pebbles, cotton clouds, and paper lily pads!
2. Duck Puppet Parade
Create a fun duck puppet show! After coloring, cut out your ducks and glue them onto craft sticks or straws. These make perfect puppets for imaginative play. You can even make a pond background from cardboard and hold your own duck parade or bath time scene.
3. Duck-Themed Greeting Cards
Take a smaller section of the coloring sheet or reduce it in size with a printer. After coloring, glue it onto the front of a folded piece of cardstock to create homemade greeting cards. These make cute “Get Well Soon” or “Just Ducky” birthday cards!
4. Duck Storybook
Encourage your child to create a short story using several coloring sheets. Staple together 3-5 finished duck coloring pages and have your child write a sentence or short paragraph on each page to tell a duck’s adventure. This is a great literacy activity for young learners.
5. Duck Mobile
Hang your ducks from a DIY mobile! After coloring and cutting them out, attach string to each duck and tie them to a plastic hanger or craft hoop. Hang it in a bedroom or classroom for a floating duck display. Add some blue raindrops or clouds for extra flair!
6. Water-Resistant Ducks for Bathtime
Make coloring sheets waterproof by laminating the finished pages or sealing them with clear contact paper. Cut out the ducks and let your child play with them during bath time. It’s a simple and fun way to keep bath time playful and creative.
7. Duck Magnets
Turn your colored ducks into fridge magnets. Glue the finished artwork onto thin cardboard, cut it out, and then attach self-adhesive magnet strips to the back. These are great for hanging up reminders or just showing off your child’s art on the fridge.
8. Duck Masks
Choose a close-up duck face coloring page and turn it into a wearable mask. After coloring, cut out the face and eye holes. Tape a popsicle stick to the bottom for a hand-held mask or punch holes on the sides and tie string or elastic to wear it. Perfect for pretend play or costume time!
9. Duck-Themed Party Decor
Use the coloring pages as decorations for a duck-themed birthday party or baby shower. Color and cut out the ducks to hang on a banner, decorate cups or napkin holders, or create fun table centerpieces.

Print your coloring page on transparency film or trace it onto one. After coloring with markers, stick it to a window using a dab of water or removable adhesive. You’ll have a cheerful duck friend catching the sunlight!
