Fun Things To Do With Your Parrot Coloring Pages
Coloring is just the start! Once you’ve finished your parrot coloring pages, you can use them for all kinds of creative projects. Here are some exciting craft ideas you can try with your completed parrot coloring sheets:
1. Parrot Wall Art
After coloring your parrot page, cut it out and glue it onto a piece of colorful construction paper. You can even add glitter or stickers around the edges. Frame it or hang it on your wall to make your very own tropical bird artwork. This is a great way to decorate a kid’s room or a classroom with bright parrot pictures.
2. Pirate Party Decorations
Parrots are often shown as pirate pets, so your coloring sheets can be turned into fun pirate party decorations. Once your parrot is colored, tape it to a stick or straw and place it in cupcakes, or glue it to string and hang it as a garland. You can even make parrot “pirate flags” by attaching them to small wooden dowels.
3. Tropical Greeting Cards
Fold a piece of cardstock in half and glue your finished parrot coloring sheet to the front. Write a fun message inside like “It’s a Parroty!” or “Toucan Celebrate!” This makes a cheerful homemade card for birthdays, thank-you notes, or summer parties. Kids will love making and giving these tropical-themed cards.
4. Parrot Puppets
Turn your coloring page into a puppet by gluing your finished parrot onto a paper bag or attaching it to a popsicle stick. Kids can create different parrots and then put on a puppet show with their new bird friends. You can even add feathers, googly eyes, or fabric scraps to make your parrot puppet more colorful.
5. Parrot Mobile
Print out several parrot coloring sheets, color them, and cut them out. Punch a hole at the top of each and tie them to a coat hanger or a stick with string. Hang your parrot mobile from the ceiling for a fun tropical decoration that sways when the air moves. This is especially fun for classrooms learning about rainforest animals.
6. Storybook Parrots
Encourage kids to create a story around their colored parrots. After finishing their coloring sheets, they can glue them onto notebook paper and write a short story about the bird’s adventures. Maybe the parrot is helping a pirate find treasure, or maybe it’s exploring the jungle. This combines art with writing and makes a fun keepsake.
7. Parrot Masks
To make a parrot mask, print out a parrot coloring page and color it. Cut out the face of the parrot, then cut eye holes. Attach an elastic string or ribbon to fit around your head. Kids can wear their parrot masks for playtime, costumes, or pretend jungle adventures. You can even add feathers for extra fun.
8. Classroom Bulletin Board Display
Teachers can print out a set of parrot coloring sheets for students to color and then use them to decorate a bulletin board. Arrange the parrots to look like they are sitting in a rainforest tree, add green leaves, and maybe even some vines. This makes a bright and cheerful classroom display.
9. Parrot Bookmarks
Cut your colored parrot pages into strips and laminate them to create custom bookmarks. You can punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon for extra decoration. These bookmarks are perfect for summer reading challenges or as gifts for friends who love books.
10. Parrot Coasters
Shrink your finished parrot coloring sheets on a copier, then laminate them to make fun coasters. You can place them under drinks at a tropical-themed party. They not only protect the table but also add colorful parrot art to your gathering.
11. Parrot Puzzle
After coloring, glue your parrot coloring sheet onto cardboard and cut it into puzzle pieces. Younger kids can have big pieces, while older kids can make it trickier with smaller shapes. This turns your artwork into a fun and reusable activity.
12. Parrot Magnets
Print and color small parrots, then glue them to magnet sheets. Cut them out and stick them on the refrigerator. These DIY parrot magnets can hold up notes, drawings, or shopping lists while adding a splash of tropical color to your kitchen.
13. Parrot Party Hats
Turn your coloring pages into fun party hats by rolling them into a cone shape and securing them with tape or glue. Attach a string to go under the chin. You can add extra feathers at the top to make them look even more like tropical bird hats. These are perfect for birthday parties or themed celebrations.
14. Parrot Scrapbook Pages
If you enjoy scrapbooking, your parrot coloring sheets can make wonderful decorations for your pages. Use them as backgrounds or cut them into shapes to add to your layouts. They work great for vacation scrapbooks, especially if you’ve visited a zoo, rainforest, or tropical destination.
