Fun Things To Do With Your Elmo Coloring Pages

Coloring doesn’t have to stop once your child puts down the crayons! Here are several fun, creative, and easy DIY craft ideas to reuse and display your Elmo coloring sheets in playful ways. Each project below can be made using supplies you likely already have at home.

1. Elmo Birthday Banner

If you’re planning a Sesame Street-themed birthday party, turn your Elmo coloring pages into a cheerful birthday banner! Print out several sheets featuring Elmo’s smiling face, let the kids color them, and then cut each one into triangle or flag shapes. Punch two holes at the top of each sheet and string them together with yarn or ribbon. Hang the banner across a wall or doorway for instant party cheer!

2. Elmo Paper Puppets

Turn your Elmo coloring sheets into adorable paper puppets for pretend play. After coloring the pages, glue the image onto sturdy cardstock or a paper plate, then cut it out carefully. Tape or glue a craft stick (or even a clean popsicle stick) to the back to create a puppet handle. Kids can then put on their own mini Sesame Street shows, making Elmo dance, sing, and talk with his friends!

3. Elmo Classroom Name Tags

Teachers can use these free printable coloring pages as a fun way for students to personalize their desks or cubbies. Print smaller versions of the Elmo sheets (by adjusting print size settings), and let each student color one. They can write their name across the top or bottom and laminate it for durability. These name tags bring a cheerful touch to any classroom and help younger students identify their spots easily.

4. Elmo Window Art

Make your windows pop with bright Elmo art! Once your child finishes coloring, trace the outline of Elmo onto thin plastic sheet protectors or clear contact paper. Fill in the colors with washable markers or window paint. When dry, cut out the shapes and stick them onto windows or sliding glass doors. The sunlight shining through makes Elmo glow beautifully—perfect for adding joy to your child’s playroom or bedroom.

5. Elmo Storybook

Encourage creativity and storytelling with an Elmo coloring book made by your child! Print several different Elmo coloring sheets and let your little artist color each one. Then, help them staple the pages together along one side to make a book. On each page, they can write a short sentence or story about what Elmo is doing. This is a wonderful way to combine art and literacy skills for preschoolers.

6. Elmo Party Hats

Every Sesame Street fan will love these custom Elmo party hats! After coloring their pages, kids can cut out Elmo’s face and glue it onto a cone-shaped hat made from construction paper. Use tape or glue to secure the cone, and attach a piece of elastic string so the hat fits comfortably. It’s a perfect craft for birthdays, preschool celebrations, or family fun nights.

7. Elmo Memory Game

Create a homemade memory game featuring Elmo and friends! Print two copies of several different Elmo coloring sheets. Have your child color both copies the same way, then cut each image into cards of the same size. Flip them all face down and take turns finding matching pairs. It’s a simple way to build concentration skills while having fun with Elmo’s cheerful smile!

8. Elmo Wall Collage

Transform your child’s play area or bedroom wall into an Elmo art gallery! Print out multiple free Elmo coloring pages, and after your child finishes coloring, frame each one using inexpensive photo frames or homemade cardboard borders. Arrange them on the wall to create a bright and happy Elmo display. This not only celebrates your child’s creativity but also brings warmth and personality to the room.

9. Elmo Bookmark Crafts

Encourage reading time by turning Elmo coloring sheets into colorful bookmarks. Cut out Elmo’s face or favorite poses from the pages and glue them onto strips of cardstock. Laminate them or cover them with clear packing tape for extra strength. Punch a hole at the top and add a yarn tassel or ribbon. These bookmarks make reading even more fun—especially with Elmo cheering you on!

10. Elmo Puzzle Game

For a fun challenge, turn your colored Elmo sheet into a DIY puzzle. After your child colors the page, glue it onto a piece of thin cardboard or cereal box. Once dry, use scissors to cut the picture into puzzle pieces. You can make it easy with big square cuts for younger children or more complex shapes for older ones. Store the pieces in a zip bag to reuse the puzzle again and again!

11. Elmo Magnets

Add some Sesame Street charm to your refrigerator with homemade Elmo magnets. Color and cut out Elmo from your printable sheet, then glue the picture onto a piece of craft foam or cardboard. Attach a small magnet strip to the back, and you’re ready to decorate your fridge, whiteboard, or school locker. It’s a quick craft that makes your artwork useful and displayable!

12. Elmo Greeting Cards

Use Elmo coloring pages to make cheerful greeting cards for birthdays or thank-you notes. Fold a piece of cardstock in half, glue your colored Elmo picture to the front, and write your message inside. Add stickers, glitter, or hand-drawn decorations for extra flair. Kids will be proud to send cards featuring their very own artwork to friends and family!

13. Elmo Reward Chart

Turn your Elmo coloring pages into a fun reward or chore chart. Glue the colored Elmo picture at the top of a piece of poster board, and draw a grid below it for stickers or check marks. Each time your child completes a task—like cleaning up toys or brushing teeth—they earn a sticker. When the chart fills up, they can get a small reward or treat. Elmo’s encouraging smile makes the process fun and motivating!

14. Elmo Shadow Puppets

Create glowing Elmo shadow puppets for bedtime fun! After coloring your printable sheet, glue it to black construction paper for sturdiness. Cut out Elmo’s outline carefully and attach a stick. Turn off the lights, shine a flashlight against a wall, and make Elmo dance and wave. This activity combines creativity with a touch of storytelling magic.

15. Elmo Scrapbook Pages

If your family loves scrapbooking, add a few Elmo coloring sheets to capture memories of your child’s Sesame Street adventures.
