Fun Things To Do With Your Last Day of School Coloring Pages
Make a “Goodbye School” Banner
Print several last day of school coloring pages and have your child color them in. Then, cut out the designs and glue or tape them onto a long strip of construction paper or a string to make a banner. Hang it up in their room or across a doorway for an instant party vibe. This is great for classroom celebrations or at-home end-of-year parties.
Create a Memory Book Cover
Use a colored-in printable PDF sheet as the cover for a memory book. Staple blank pages behind it or include photos and drawings from throughout the year. Kids can add notes, favorite memories, and signatures from classmates. This personal keepsake makes the school year unforgettable!
Turn Coloring Pages into Thank You Cards
Choose a page with a sweet design and fold it in half after coloring. Add a thank-you message on the inside and give it to a favorite teacher, principal, or school staff member. It’s a simple way to show appreciation and makes a meaningful handmade gift on the last day of school.
Make a Summer Countdown Chain
Color in a last day of school coloring page and cut it into strips. Use the strips to make a paper chain where each link counts down to a summer trip or fun event. You can also write an activity idea on each chain link, like “Go to the pool” or “Eat ice cream,” and pull one off every day.
Laminate for a Keepsake Placemat
After coloring a last day of school sheet, laminate it using self-adhesive sheets or a laminating machine. This turns it into a reusable placemat that kids can use all summer long. It’s a creative way to keep the school-year memories alive even during snack time.
Make a Classroom Door Poster
If you’re a teacher, have each student color a page and help you tape them together into a large collage to decorate your classroom door. It creates a festive look for the final week of school and gets students excited about their summer plans.
Create a Certificate of Completion
Choose a printable coloring sheet with a diploma or school theme. Color it in and write your child’s name, grade, and the year on it. You can even add “Congratulations!” or “Great Job Finishing the Year!” across the top. It’s a fun way to recognize their hard work.
Design Your Own Summer Bucket List
Use a blank area of a coloring page or glue a plain sheet to the back of a colored page. Have your child write out their summer bucket list—everything they want to do before school starts again. Decorate it with markers and stickers to keep it fun and personal.
Create a DIY Puzzle
After your child finishes coloring a last day of school page, glue it to a sheet of cardboard or cardstock. Cut it into puzzle pieces with scissors or a craft knife. Then mix up the pieces and try putting it back together. This turns your art into an interactive activity!
Use as a Scrapbook Background
Glue your child’s colored page into a scrapbook or photo album as the background for pictures from the last day of school. Add stickers, journal entries, and class photos for a full memory page that’s creative and full of personality.
Make Custom Bookmarks
Cut a colored sheet into strips to create bookmarks. Punch a hole in the top and add a ribbon for flair. These make great keepsakes or gifts for friends to encourage summer reading.
Hang in a DIY Art Gallery
Set up a wall space at home or in the classroom and hang up all the last day of school coloring pages. Use painter’s tape, clips, or string with clothespins. Invite family or classmates to view the “gallery” and celebrate the end of the year with an art show.
Use in a Summer Journal
Have your child glue a colored sheet to the first page of their summer journal. It’s a creative way to start writing about their summer adventures. Each time they open the journal, they’ll remember the fun of finishing school.
Turn into Stickers
Color a page and cut out small parts like school supplies, books, or happy faces. Then use sticker paper to create your own last day of school sticker collection. These can decorate notebooks, summer planners, or lunchboxes.
These last day of school coloring sheets are more than just fun—they’re a chance to make memories, express creativity, and ease the transition into summer. Download and print your favorite coloring pages today and kick off vacation with some color and joy!
