Fun Things To Do With Your Jaguar Coloring Pages
1. Jaguar Jungle Collage
After printing and coloring a few jaguar coloring sheets, cut out your finished jaguars and create a rainforest collage. Use construction paper or a large poster board as your base, then draw or color trees, leaves, vines, and rivers around your jaguar cutouts. You can even glue on real leaves, twigs, or bits of tissue paper for texture. This fun craft helps kids learn about the jaguar’s natural habitat while giving them a chance to build a beautiful 3D jungle scene.
2. DIY Jaguar Masks
Turn your jaguar coloring pages into wearable animal masks! Choose a jaguar face coloring sheet, print it on thicker paper, and color it with your favorite markers or crayons. Cut around the outline of the jaguar’s face and cut out holes for the eyes. Attach a string or elastic band to each side so kids can wear their jaguar masks for pretend play or school projects. This simple craft is perfect for jungle-themed parties or animal learning days.
3. Jaguar Bookmark Craft
Transform your colored jaguar sheets into cool bookmarks. After coloring, cut out a jaguar or part of the design—like the face or paw—and glue it onto a strip of sturdy cardstock. Laminate it with clear tape or a laminating sheet to make it last longer. Add a hole at the top and tie a ribbon or yarn for decoration. These jaguar bookmarks are great for encouraging kids to read more while showing off their creative work.
4. Storybook Cover Design
Encourage kids to create their own wildlife story featuring a jaguar as the main character. Once they’ve written their story, they can use their colored jaguar page as the cover art. Glue the colored page onto the front of a folded sheet of cardstock to create a book cover. Add the title and author’s name (your child’s!) for a professional look. This project is a great way to combine art and storytelling in a fun and educational way.
5. Jaguar Mobile Decoration
Create a hanging mobile using several jaguar coloring sheets. Print and color multiple jaguar designs, cut them out, and punch a small hole at the top of each. Tie strings through the holes and hang them from a coat hanger, stick, or embroidery hoop. Hang the mobile in a bedroom or classroom for a jungle-inspired decoration that moves gently with the air. You can also add colored paper leaves, birds, and butterflies for extra flair.
6. Classroom Wildlife Wall Display
Teachers can use these printable jaguar coloring pages to create a classroom wildlife wall. After students color their jaguar sheets, arrange them together on a bulletin board. Label the display “Rainforest Animals” or “Jungle Wildlife.” Add facts about jaguars—like where they live, what they eat, and how they help the ecosystem. This project encourages teamwork and learning while making the classroom vibrant and fun.
7. 3D Jaguar Pop-Up Card
Make a special pop-up card featuring your colored jaguar. Fold a piece of cardstock in half to form the card base. Cut out your colored jaguar and attach a folded paper tab to its back. Glue the other end of the tab inside the card so that when you open it, the jaguar pops up! Decorate the background with trees or grass. These pop-up cards make wonderful handmade gifts for friends or teachers who love animals.
8. Rainforest Diorama
Create a miniature rainforest scene in a shoebox using your colored jaguar sheets. Color and cut out your jaguar, along with some plants or trees. Glue the jaguar inside the box and add layers of green paper or small toy animals to fill out the scene. You can even sprinkle some moss or small pebbles for a realistic touch. This 3D project helps children visualize how jaguars live in their environment.
9. Jaguar Puzzle Game
Turn your colored jaguar artwork into a fun puzzle! After coloring, glue the sheet onto thin cardboard or cardstock. Once dry, cut it into puzzle-shaped pieces.

This simple project is both fun and educational, helping improve memory and problem-solving skills while recycling your coloring pages into a reusable activity.
10. Animal-Themed Gift Tags
Your finished jaguar coloring sheets can be turned into unique gift tags.
