Fun Things To Do With Your Sunflower Coloring Pages
Sunflower Suncatchers
Turn your sunflower coloring pages into bright window decorations. After your child colors the sunflower, help them cut it out carefully. Use clear contact paper to stick the colored sunflower between two sheets. Trim the edges and punch a hole at the top. Add a piece of string and hang it in a sunny window. The light shining through the paper makes it glow like real sunflower petals!
Sunflower Greeting Cards
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to create a card. Color a sunflower page and cut out the flower. Glue it to the front of the card and write a cheerful message inside. These handmade sunflower cards are perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes, or just to send a smile to a friend or grandparent.
Sunflower Paper Fans
This is a fun craft for hot summer days. Color a sunflower coloring sheet, then fold it back and forth like an accordion. Staple one end or tape it tightly so it flares out like a fan. Add a craft stick or straw as a handle. Now you have a homemade sunflower fan to help you stay cool and look cool at the same time!
Sunflower Headbands
Print out a few sunflower coloring sheets and let the kids color and cut them out. Then, use a strip of paper to make a headband by measuring around their head. Glue or tape the sunflower cutouts all around the band. This makes a super cute sunflower crown that’s fun to wear during pretend play or summer parties.
DIY Sunflower Bookmarks
After coloring your sunflower sheet, cut the flower into long, bookmark-sized strips. You can glue them to cardboard or laminate them to make them sturdier. Punch a hole at the top and add a piece of ribbon or yarn. These sunflower bookmarks are a great way to encourage summer reading and make sweet little gifts for friends.
Sunflower Garden Signs
Let the kids color a sunflower page, then glue it to a piece of cardstock or cardboard. Cover it with clear tape or laminate it if you can. Tape it to a wooden stick or plastic fork and stick it into a flower pot or garden bed. It makes a cheerful sign for real or pretend gardens.
Sunflower Puzzle Game
After coloring a sunflower coloring page, glue it onto a piece of cardboard. Once dry, cut it into several pieces like a puzzle. You can make it as simple or as tricky as you want depending on your child’s age. Mix up the pieces and let them put their custom sunflower puzzle back together.
Sunflower Garland
Color and cut out several sunflower coloring sheets. Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of each flower. String them together with yarn or ribbon to make a pretty sunflower garland. You can hang it across a wall, in a classroom, or on a party table for a fun summer decoration.
Sunflower Stick Puppets
Let your child color and cut out a sunflower. Glue it onto a popsicle stick or plastic straw. You can use them for puppet shows, storytelling, or just for fun pretend play. Add googly eyes or draw faces on the flowers to make them extra silly!
Sunflower Magnets
After coloring, cut out your favorite sunflower designs and glue them onto thin cardboard or craft foam. Attach a small magnet on the back and stick it on the fridge. These make cute homemade magnets that show off your child’s creativity.
3D Sunflower Art
Take your coloring page to the next level! Color and cut out a sunflower, then color a second one. Cut the petals off the second flower and gently curl them with a pencil. Glue just the center of the curled flower on top of the first one to make a 3D effect. Display it in a frame or on the wall.
Sunflower Story Time
Have kids color their sunflower pages, then use them as part of a storytelling activity. Ask them to make up a short story about their sunflower—where it grows, what it sees, or who visits it. You can even staple the pages together with their story for a homemade sunflower picture book.
Sunflower Coasters
Color and cut out a sunflower, then glue it onto a piece of cork or thick foam. You can add clear contact paper or mod podge to seal it. These fun sunflower coasters can be used during snack time or as gifts.
