Fun Things To Do With Your Purim Coloring Pages
Purim is all about joy, laughter, and creativity, and these coloring sheets can easily become part of your holiday decorations and activities. Here are some fun and easy DIY ideas you can make using your finished coloring pages!
1. Create a Purim Mask
Turn your colored pages into festive Purim masks! Choose a page with a face or a mask design. After coloring, glue the page onto cardstock for sturdiness. Cut out the mask shape and the eye holes, then attach an elastic band or string on both sides. You can even decorate it with glitter, sequins, or feathers. These homemade masks are perfect for Purim costume parties or the Purim parade!
2. Design Your Own Purim Gragger (Noisemaker)
Purim isn’t complete without a gragger to make noise whenever Haman’s name is mentioned! Use your colored sheets to wrap around an empty toilet paper roll or small cardboard tube. Fill the tube with a few dry beans or rice, seal the ends with paper and tape, then shake it to make noise! This is a fun craft for kids that lets them bring their colorful creations to life while participating in the Purim story reading.
3. Make a Queen Esther Crown
If your child loves Queen Esther, they’ll enjoy creating a crown inspired by her bravery and beauty. Color one of the Purim coloring sheets featuring crowns or jewels, then cut out and glue it onto construction paper. Wrap it around your child’s head to measure the right fit, tape the ends, and let them wear it proudly for the Purim feast or parade. Add rhinestones or sparkly stickers to make it extra royal!
4. Create a Purim Storybook
Print several Purim coloring pages showing different scenes from the story—Esther before the king, Mordechai discovering the plot, the festive feast, and the joyous celebration. Have kids color each page, then staple or tie them together with yarn to make a homemade storybook. They can add captions or retell the story in their own words under each picture. This is a great educational activity for classrooms or home learning.
5. Decorate Mishloach Manot Gift Bags
Purim baskets (mishloach manot) are a wonderful tradition of sharing food and treats with friends and family. Once kids finish their coloring sheets, cut out the designs and tape or glue them onto plain paper bags or gift boxes. It turns simple packaging into beautiful, personalized Purim gifts! Add ribbons, stickers, or bows to make each one special.
6. Turn Coloring Pages into Purim Cards
Transform your favorite Purim coloring sheets into heartfelt holiday cards. Fold a sheet in half like a greeting card, then color the front with bright Purim symbols. Inside, write a cheerful message such as “Happy Purim!” or “Chag Purim Sameach!” Kids can give these to friends, teachers, or family members along with their mishloach manot baskets. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to spread joy.
7. Purim Wall Decorations
Use your finished Purim coloring pages to decorate your home, classroom, or synagogue. After coloring, laminate the sheets or glue them onto poster board for durability. Hang them on the wall with colorful tape or string them together like a festive banner. This adds a warm, celebratory touch to your Purim space while showing off everyone’s artwork.
8. DIY Purim Puzzle
Once you finish coloring a page, glue it to a piece of thin cardboard or cereal box. Cut it into puzzle pieces of any shape or size—larger for younger kids, smaller for older ones. Store the pieces in an envelope and challenge your family to put the Purim puzzle back together. This craft combines creativity with fun problem-solving!
9. Purim Table Centerpieces
Brighten up your Purim feast table by using your colored pages as part of the decorations. Roll or fold them into cones or wrap them around jars, and fill with hamantaschen cookies, candy, or flowers. You can also use smaller colored designs to make napkin rings or place cards for each guest. It’s a great way to bring the Purim spirit to your festive meal.
10. Create a Purim Garland
Cut out shapes from your finished Purim coloring sheets—masks, stars, crowns, scrolls, or hamantaschen—and punch a small hole in each one. Thread them along a string or ribbon to make a beautiful garland. Hang it across a wall, window, or classroom board to celebrate Purim in colorful style. This is especially fun as a group activity where each child contributes one or two designs.
11. DIY Purim Stick Puppets
Bring the Purim story to life by turning your colored characters into puppets! Cut out Queen Esther, King Ahasuerus, Mordechai, and Haman, then tape each one to a craft stick or straw. Kids can use them to act out the Purim story or put on a mini puppet show. It’s a fun way to make storytelling interactive and memorable.
12. Hamantaschen Recipe Cards
Combine art and baking fun by turning small coloring designs into recipe cards for hamantaschen. After coloring, cut out a section of the sheet and glue it onto a card. On the back, write down your favorite hamantaschen recipe. These make lovely keepsakes or gifts for friends and family, especially when given with a few homemade cookies.
13. Purim Party Invitations
Planning a Purim celebration? Use your printable coloring pages to make custom invitations. Color and cut out festive designs—masks, crowns, or graggers—and glue them onto folded cardstock. Write the party details inside, such as the date, time, and place. These homemade invitations are sure to get everyone excited for the big day!
