Fun Things To Do With Your Sloth Coloring Pages
Once your sloth coloring sheets are colored, don’t just toss them away! Here are some super fun and easy craft ideas that use your finished coloring pages. These DIY projects are great for kids at home, in the classroom, or even at birthday parties.
1. Sloth Puppet on a Stick
Turn your sloth coloring pages into cute stick puppets! After coloring your sloth, carefully cut it out. Glue it onto a piece of cardboard (like a cereal box) to make it sturdier. Then tape or glue a craft stick (or popsicle stick) to the back. Now you have a sloth puppet! You can make a bunch and create a sloth puppet show with trees made from green paper or toilet paper rolls.
2. Hanging Sloth Mobile
Create a hanging sloth mobile to decorate your room. Color several sloths from the printable PDF collection and cut them out. Punch a small hole at the top of each one. Tie string through the holes and attach them to a wire hanger or a stick. Add some green leaves or vines made from paper to complete the rainforest look. Hang it above your bed or desk and enjoy your sleepy sloths floating above!
3. Sloth Greeting Cards
Use your sloth coloring pages to make sweet greeting cards. Color your favorite sloth, then cut it out and glue it to the front of a folded piece of cardstock or construction paper. Add a fun message like “Hang in There!” or “Take it Easy!” These homemade cards are great for get-well messages or just to cheer up a friend.
4. Sloth-Themed Bookmarks
Turn your colored sloths into bookmarks. Choose a design with a sloth hanging down or curled up. After coloring, cut the shape out and glue it to a strip of cardstock about 6 inches long. You can laminate the bookmark with tape or a laminating sheet to make it last longer. Now you’ve got a cute reading buddy!
5. Sloth Party Hats
Throwing a sloth-themed birthday or sleepover party? Use the coloring sheets to make custom party hats. Color the sloths, then cut them out and glue them to cone-shaped paper hats. You can find simple cone templates online or make one from a half-circle piece of paper. Add elastic string to wear the hats and let the slow fun begin!
6. Sloth Memory Game
Print out two copies of a few different sloth coloring pages and color them the same way. Then cut out squares or circles around each sloth. Mix them up face down and play a memory-matching game. Try to remember where each sloth pair is hiding! You can make it harder by using more pairs or coloring them slightly differently.
7. Sloth Diorama in a Shoebox
Make your own mini rainforest! Color your sloths, cut them out, and glue them to cardboard cutouts so they stand up. Inside a shoebox, add paper leaves, trees, and vines. Then place your sloths around the box—hanging from yarn or sitting on cardboard branches. This is a great school project or just a fun afternoon activity.
8. Sloth Gift Tags
Use small sloth images from the printable coloring sheets as gift tags. After coloring, cut them into rectangles or fun shapes. Punch a hole in the top and tie with string or ribbon to your gift. Add names or messages on the back. They’re perfect for birthday presents or handmade gifts.
9. Sloth Storybook
Let kids use their colored sloths to create a story! Each coloring page can be a different scene. Staple the finished pages together into a book and write a few sentences on each page. Give the sloth a name and go on a slow adventure! This project builds creativity and writing skills too.
10. Sloth Window Decorations
Make fun window art with your coloring pages. After coloring, cut out the sloths and tape them to the inside of your windows. You can add green tissue paper leaves or vines for a jungle look. When the sun shines through, it gives a colorful stained-glass effect.
11. Sloth Calendar
Turn your colored sloths into a homemade calendar. Print out a blank monthly calendar page and glue a different sloth image above each month. This makes a cute gift or a fun way for kids to keep track of days and holidays.
12. Sloth Wall Garland
Make a sloth banner for your wall or classroom. Color several sloths and cut them out. Use a hole punch to make holes at the top of each one. Then string them together with yarn or ribbon and hang them across a wall or door. Add paper leaves or vines between the sloths for extra decoration.
13. Sloth Puzzle
Turn your coloring page into a puzzle! After coloring, glue the page onto a piece of cardboard. Once dry, draw puzzle piece shapes on the back and carefully cut them out. Mix them up and challenge yourself or a friend to put it back together.
14. Sloth Magnets
Make sloth magnets for the fridge! Color and cut out your favorite sloth, then glue it onto stiff paper or cardboard. Stick a small magnet to the back using hot glue or double-sided tape. You’ll smile every time you open the fridge!
