Fun Things To Do With Your Sesame Street Coloring Pages

Once your child has colored in their favorite Sesame Street characters, the fun doesn’t have to stop there! Check out these creative and easy DIY projects you can make using the completed coloring sheets.

Make a Sesame Street Character Puzzle

After coloring, glue the sheet to a piece of thin cardboard (like a cereal box). Once it dries, use scissors to cut it into puzzle pieces—start with 6–9 pieces for younger kids and go up to 20+ for older ones. You now have your own homemade Sesame Street puzzle! Store the pieces in a labeled ziplock bag for playtime later.

Create a Storybook with Colored Pages

Print out 5 to 10 different coloring pages and have your child color each one. Then, help them staple or bind them together into a book. On the back of each page, they can write a sentence or short story about what’s happening in the picture. For example, “Elmo is at the park with Zoe,” or “Big Bird found a treasure map!” This is a great activity for building storytelling and writing skills.

Make a Sesame Street Puppet Show

Cut out the colored characters and glue them onto craft sticks or straws to make your own Sesame Street puppets. Use a cardboard box or a blanket draped over chairs to create a puppet stage. Kids can put on a puppet show using the characters they colored themselves. Add a theme like “Elmo’s Birthday Party” or “Cookie Monster’s Cookie Hunt” for extra fun!

Turn Them Into DIY Stickers

Use full-sheet sticker paper (found at most craft stores or online). After coloring, cut out the characters or objects and peel off the back. Your kids can use their Sesame Street stickers to decorate notebooks, lunchboxes, folders, or even homemade cards. If you don’t have sticker paper, you can just use glue sticks to attach the cutouts instead.

Make a Character Matching Game

Print two copies of each coloring page. After coloring, cut out the characters into square cards. Mix them up and play a simple memory matching game! This is great for little ones learning character names or working on memory skills. Laminate the cards if you want them to last longer.

Design a Sesame Street Wall Banner

Pick 5–7 of your child’s favorite Sesame Street coloring sheets. After coloring them, cut out the characters and glue each one onto a triangle-shaped piece of colored paper or cardstock. Punch holes in the corners and string them together with yarn or ribbon to make a cheerful banner for a bedroom, playroom, or classroom.

Make a Sesame Street ABC Chart

Find coloring pages that feature different letters (like “E is for Elmo” or “C is for Cookie Monster”). Have your child color the pages and glue them to a poster board in alphabetical order. You can add extra items or drawings to match the letter theme. This makes a fun and educational decoration!

Turn Them Into Greeting Cards

Fold a piece of construction paper in half to create a card. Then, cut out a colored character and glue it to the front. Inside, help your child write a message like “Happy Birthday!” or “Thanks for being my friend!” These homemade Sesame Street cards are perfect for grandparents, teachers, or friends.

Make a Big Bird Bookmark

Pick a coloring sheet with Big Bird or another tall character. After coloring, cut out the figure in a tall rectangle shape. Glue it to some thicker paper or a popsicle stick to turn it into a bookmark. You can even laminate it with clear tape. It’s a great way to encourage reading time!

Design a Sesame Street Placemat

Use clear contact paper or laminate a finished coloring page to make a custom placemat. Add your child’s name or decorate it with stickers before covering it. These DIY placemats are perfect for snack time or messy art projects!

Build a Character Mask

Choose a coloring page with a big face—like Elmo, Cookie Monster, or Oscar the Grouch. After coloring, cut out the head and glue it to a paper plate for strength. Cut out holes for the eyes and attach a craft stick at the bottom. Your child can now wear their favorite character as a mask!

Make a Countdown Calendar

Use 7–10 coloring sheets and color one per day as a countdown to a special event, like a birthday, holiday, or the first day of school. Hang each one up on the wall in order, and take one down each day. This adds excitement and something fun to look forward to!

Turn It Into a Fridge Gallery

Use magnets or magnetic clips to display your child’s Sesame Street masterpieces on the fridge. Rotate new pages each week, and have your child act like a curator choosing which ones to show off. It’s a simple way to give their art a special place in the home.

Make a Sesame Street Reward Chart

Print out a grid-style coloring sheet or use plain ones. After coloring, draw boxes over the sheet and label them with goals like “Cleaned my room” or “Shared my toys.” Use stickers or stamps to track progress. When the chart is full, give a small reward or special treat.

These free printable Sesame Street PDF coloring pages are not only super fun to color, but they’re also the perfect tool for creative crafts and hands-on learning. With so many ideas to try, your child will be excited to color every character on the block!
