Fun Things To Do With Your Lionel Messi Coloring Pages

1. Make a Soccer Star Poster

After coloring your favorite Lionel Messi coloring pages, glue them onto a big piece of poster board. Use markers or stickers to write a title like “Messi Fan Zone” at the top. Add soccer ball cutouts, glitter glue, and your own team logos to complete your custom poster. Hang it in your room or classroom to show off your soccer pride!

2. Create a World Cup Trophy Display

Turn your Messi coloring sheets into a sports display by adding a homemade paper trophy. After coloring a page of Messi holding the World Cup, cut it out and glue it onto cardboard. Then, use foil or gold paper to create a 3D paper trophy and glue it beside the image. Add green paper “grass” underneath and display it on a shelf or table.

3. Make a Custom Soccer Trading Card Set

Print out smaller versions of the Messi coloring pages (you can shrink them to 4 per page). Color them in and glue each one onto an index card. Write stats on the back like goals scored, favorite team, or fun facts. Trade them with friends or keep them in a soccer-themed binder!

4. Build a Match Day Diorama

Use a shoebox to create a mini soccer stadium. Color and cut out Messi from one of your printable coloring sheets. Place him on green construction paper “turf” inside the box. Add paper fans, goals, and other players. Use clay or Lego pieces to build extras. It’s like having your own mini Messi match at home!

5. Make a Soccer Banner

Choose 5 or more Messi coloring pages and color them in with different jersey colors. Cut each one into a triangle or pennant shape. Tape them to a string or ribbon to create a banner. Hang the banner in your room for a cool soccer-themed decoration.

6. Design Your Own Messi Jersey

Take a blank coloring sheet where Messi’s jersey is easy to see. After coloring him in, use markers, glitter glue, and stickers to design your own custom jersey. Pretend you’re the coach and make a new team logo! You can even cut the jersey out and glue it onto a shirt-shaped paper to make it look real.

7. Make a Birthday Party Craft

Hosting a soccer or Messi-themed party? Set out crayons and printed Messi coloring pages as a fun table activity. Kids can color and decorate their pages, then slide them into clear plastic folders to create party keepsakes. You can even print out “Player of the Day” certificates and give them out with the artwork.

8. Turn it Into a Puzzle

After coloring a Messi page, glue it to cardboard or cardstock. Once it’s dry, cut it into puzzle pieces (try about 10 to 20 pieces for younger kids). Mix up the pieces and have fun putting your Messi puzzle back together. Great for solo play or group games!

9. Create a “Goal of the Year” Comic Strip

Print out three different Messi coloring pages showing action shots—one dribbling, one shooting, and one celebrating. Color and cut them out, then glue them in order onto a long sheet of paper. Add speech bubbles, captions, or crowd sounds like “GOOOOAL!” to create a fun comic strip.

10. Make a Soccer Fan Bookmark

Choose a coloring page where Messi is standing or celebrating. Color and cut out the top part (just Messi), and glue it onto a strip of sturdy paper. Add your name and decorate with soccer balls and stars. Laminate it or cover it with tape to make a custom bookmark!

11. Decorate a Binder or Notebook Cover

Take your finished Messi coloring sheets and trim them to fit the front of a notebook or school binder. Glue them down and cover with clear contact paper to protect the artwork. Now your school supplies show off your love for soccer and Lionel Messi!

12. Make a Story Book About Messi

Use 5 or more different coloring pages of Messi to create your own mini book. Color each page and write a sentence at the bottom, like “Messi scores a goal!” or “Messi plays for Argentina.” Staple them together to make a simple book about Messi’s soccer journey.

13. Design a Fan Poster with Fun Facts

Print and color a Messi page, then glue it in the center of a larger piece of paper. Around the edges, write fun facts like his birthday, favorite number, and teams he’s played for. Use markers and stickers to decorate your fan fact poster!

14. Create a Goalkeeper Save Game

Print and color a Messi page where he’s shooting a goal. Then draw a simple goal net on a separate piece of cardboard. Cut out the Messi figure and tape a paper straw behind it like a puppet stick. Move Messi toward the goal and see if you can “score” past a small paper goalie!

15. Build a Time Capsule

Color a Lionel Messi sheet, write your name and the year on it, and include your current favorite team or Messi moment. Roll it up and place it in a decorated paper tube or container. Seal it up and open it next year to see how your favorite soccer memories have changed!
