Fun Things To Do With Your Lizard Coloring Pages

Here are some cool and easy crafts that you and your kids can make with these printable lizard coloring sheets. These ideas are great for classroom projects, at-home fun, or even birthday parties with a reptile theme!

Make a Lizard Habitat Diorama

After coloring your favorite lizard, cut it out carefully with scissors. Grab a shoebox and decorate the inside with sand, small rocks, green paper for trees, and blue paper for a stream or pond. Glue your lizard onto a little stand and place it inside the box to create a mini jungle or desert scene. You can even label the habitat if you’re doing a school project.

Create a Lizard Mobile

Color and cut out 4-6 different lizards from your printable coloring sheets. Use a hole punch to make a small hole at the top of each lizard. Then tie each one to a piece of string or yarn. Attach the strings to a coat hanger or a large craft stick to make a mobile. Hang it in your room or near a window to see your lizards “crawl” in the air.

Lizard-Themed Bookmarks

Choose a narrow section of the coloring page or shrink the lizard drawing using a copier to make it bookmark size. Color it, cut it out, and glue it onto a strip of construction paper. Cover the whole thing in clear tape or laminate it for a longer-lasting bookmark. You’ll have your very own reptile reading buddy.

Reptile Party Decorations

Print out and color multiple lizard sheets. Cut out the lizards and tape them to walls, doors, or hang them from ceilings as party decor. You can even glue them to popsicle sticks to create lizard puppets for kids to play with during the party.

Lizard Puzzle Craft

After coloring your lizard, glue the sheet to a piece of thin cardboard like a cereal box. Once dry, cut it into puzzle pieces — start with simple shapes for younger kids and go more detailed for older ones. Mix up the pieces and try to put your lizard puzzle back together!

Camouflage Matching Game

Print out several copies of your lizard coloring pages and color each one in a way that would help it blend into a different environment (like forest, desert, grassland, etc.). Then, create background scenes from construction paper or drawings. Challenge kids to match each lizard to the environment it would blend into the best.

Lizard Wall Art

Color a large lizard and cut it out. Then mount it onto a larger piece of colored paper or cardboard. Add glitter, sequins, and craft foam to make a 3D art piece you can hang on the wall. Add your name or the lizard’s name for extra fun.

Make a Lizard Mask

Choose a lizard coloring sheet where the head is large. After coloring, cut out the face and attach a popsicle stick to the bottom for a mask. Or, cut out holes for the eyes and punch holes on the sides to add a string and wear it hands-free.

Create a Lizard Storybook

Have your child choose 5-6 lizard coloring sheets. After coloring, staple them together to form a book. Ask them to write a short sentence or story under each picture, turning their artwork into a fun storytelling activity. It’s a great way to combine creativity and literacy skills.

Lizard Sun-Catcher Craft

Print your lizard coloring page on thin tracing paper or parchment paper. Color it with markers or watercolor paints. Once dry, tape it to a sunny window, and the light will shine through the colors like stained glass. It’s especially cool with bright neon colors.

Make a Reptile Trading Card Set

Shrink the coloring pages on a copier and color the mini lizards. Cut them into trading card sizes and glue onto index cards. On the back, write facts about each type of lizard (like species name, where it lives, what it eats). Great for learning while having fun.

DIY Lizard Magnet

Color and cut out your lizard, then glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardboard. Attach a magnet to the back using hot glue or strong adhesive. Stick it on the fridge or locker for a scaly buddy that stays with you.

Classroom Bulletin Board Ideas

Have students each color a lizard and write one fun fact about lizards. Mount their coloring pages to a big bulletin board labeled “Reptile Rangers” or “Leaping Lizards!” It’s a creative way to display everyone’s work and teach science at the same time.

Build a Lizard Puppet Theater

Color and cut out a few lizards, then glue them onto craft sticks or straws. Decorate a cardboard box to look like a jungle or desert. Kids can hide behind the box and use the lizard puppets to put on silly or educational shows.

These fun lizard crafts will not only help kids enjoy their printable coloring sheets, but also give them the chance to learn more about these amazing reptiles. All of the activities above use free printable PDF coloring pages in ways that mix creativity with hands-on fun — perfect for classrooms, homes, or after-school projects.
