Fun Things to Do with Your Finding Nemo Coloring Pages

Make a Nemo-Themed Ocean Mobile

Take your finished coloring pages and cut out your favorite characters like Nemo, Dory, Crush, and Marlin. Use a hole punch to make a small hole at the top of each cut-out. Then tie some string or yarn through the holes and hang them from a plastic hanger, dowel rod, or even a paper plate. You can add tissue paper seaweed or paper fish to decorate. Hang it in a kid’s bedroom or classroom for an under-the-sea vibe!

Create a “Finding Nemo” Storybook

After coloring several printable PDF pages, encourage kids to arrange them in a story order. They can create their own version of Nemo’s journey. Staple the pages together or use a folder to bind them into a book. Have them write simple sentences on the back or under the coloring sheets describing what’s happening in each scene. This activity mixes art and literacy for a fun learning experience.

Design an Ocean Scene Collage

Use a large piece of construction paper or cardboard as a background. After coloring and cutting out characters from the coloring sheets, glue them onto the background to make an ocean scene. Add waves, seaweed, and bubbles using markers or more craft supplies like tissue paper, glitter glue, or foam stickers. This craft makes a great classroom display or art project for ocean-themed weeks.

Make a Dory Memory Card Game

Print two sets of Dory and Nemo character coloring pages. After coloring, cut out the character images and glue them onto sturdy cardstock or cardboard squares. Use these to play a memory matching game. Kids will have fun trying to remember where each fish is hiding while improving their concentration and memory skills.

Turn Coloring Pages into Party Decorations

Throwing a Finding Nemo-themed birthday party? Use your colored pages as decorations! Hang them up like posters, string them along a banner, or use them as placemats at the party table. You can even use smaller cutouts as cupcake toppers or goodie bag tags. It’s a great way to get kids involved in preparing for their party.

Create a Nemo-Themed Puzzle

After coloring a favorite page, glue it onto a piece of cardboard (like from a cereal box). Once it dries, use scissors to cut it into puzzle-shaped pieces. You can make the puzzle as easy or hard as you like depending on the age of the child. It’s a fun way to reuse coloring sheets and adds a new layer of play.

Make Ocean-Themed Bookmarks

Cut out small vertical sections from the finished coloring pages that feature characters or underwater designs. Glue them onto thicker paper, then cut to size to make bookmarks. Laminate them if you can or cover with clear tape for durability. These ocean-themed bookmarks make great classroom prizes or reading incentives.

Build a “Finding Nemo” Diorama

Color and cut out characters and background elements like coral, sea plants, and jellyfish. Use a shoebox as the base and glue the background inside the box. Then, tape or glue the character cutouts in the box to make a 3D diorama scene. Kids can recreate their favorite part of the movie or invent a new story for the characters.

Make a Reef-Themed Placemat

Color your favorite Nemo coloring sheet, then glue it to a piece of construction paper. You can also decorate the edges with stickers, glitter, or more drawings. Then, cover the whole thing with clear contact paper to make it waterproof. Use it as a placemat at meals or for craft time.

Turn It into a Color Sorting Game

Use small cutouts of colored fish from the printable coloring pages. Ask young children to sort them by color into matching colored paper or containers. This is a great activity for preschoolers to learn about colors while playing with their favorite characters.

Design a Finding Nemo Calendar

Print out 12 different coloring pages for each month of the year. Let kids color each one and glue it onto the top half of a printed calendar template. These custom calendars can be used at home or given as gifts to grandparents or teachers. It’s a fun way to keep track of the days while celebrating ocean friends.

Make a Door Sign or Name Tag

Color and cut out Nemo or Dory, and glue them to a paper strip. Add the child’s name with markers or stickers to create a fun and personalized name tag or door sign for their room. You can also laminate it or cover it with tape to make it last longer.

Create Your Own Underwater Board Game

Use a piece of cardboard and draw a path with ocean-themed spaces. Color characters and sea creatures from your coloring pages, cut them out, and glue them onto different spots on the board. Use dice and game pieces (like small toys or coins) to play. Add fun instructions like “Swim forward 3 spaces” or “Caught in a jellyfish—go back 2 spaces!”

These crafts and activities turn regular coloring pages into hours of hands-on fun, with lots of chances for learning and creativity along the way.
