Fun Things to Do With Your Teacher Coloring Pages
Here are 10 creative DIY ideas to use the teacher coloring pages in fun ways—perfect for parents, teachers, or students to turn a simple printable into something extra special. Each idea includes a few clear instructions (100‑200 words each).
1. Thank‑You Card Booklet
Print a page with a teacher appreciation message like “Thank You for Helping Me Grow.” Fold the page in half. On the inside, write a personal note or a class signature. Optionally, glue a second coloring page into the booklet for a double design. Tie the spine with a ribbon or staple it. This turns a simple coloring sheet into a heartfelt card gift.
2. Framed Classroom Art Gift
After you color a nice page, mount it on colored cardstock or construction paper, then place it inside a simple frame (even a dollar‑store frame). Add a handwritten message on the mat board: “World’s Best Teacher” or “Thank You!” Display it in the classroom or hall to brighten a teacher’s workspace.
3. Coloring Page Garland
Print several different teacher coloring sheets. Have kids color each one, then cut each sheet into flags or trim to size. Punch holes at the top corners and string them together with yarn or twine. Hang the garland around the classroom door or on a bulletin board as a colorful “Teacher Appreciation” banner.
4. Decorate a Gift Bag
Use colored sheets as custom wrapping paper. Wrap a small teacher gift (like pencils or a plant) in plain kraft paper, then glue the colored coloring sheet on top. Add a thank‑you note and tie with a bow. The picture becomes part of the bag design, making a unique gift wrap.
5. Story Strip Dialogue
Pick a coloring page showing a teacher and students. After coloring, use a pencil or marker to add speech bubbles above the characters. Write short messages like “I learned a lot today!” or “Thank you for teaching me!” This turns the coloring sheet into a storytelling mini‑comic.
6. Classroom Bulletin Board Background
Color a larger background or border page and use it as the framing design for a teacher tribute board. Mount the coloring sheet behind student artwork or notes on a bulletin board and decorate around it with hearts, apples, or stars. It highlights the theme and gives a festive look.
7. Teacher Appreciation Collage
Get a few different printable teacher coloring sheets. Ask a group of students to each color one sheet. Cut pieces from each into smaller shapes (like apples, pencils, or stars). Then glue them onto a large poster board, overlapping to form a colorful collage. Add the message: “We ♥ our teachers!”
8. Bookmark Keepsake
Print and color a full‑page thank‑you design. Cut the page into bookmarks about 2×6 inches. Laminate each bookmark or cover with clear tape to protect it. Punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon or tassel. Give these as little teacher tokens that can be used when reading.
9. Teacher Mug Insert
Resize a colored sheet to fit inside a clear mug or tumbler (many photo‑in‑cup mugs). Insert the colored design so it shows through the glass. When filled with pencils or pens, it becomes a pretty personalized teacher gift that reminds them of the kids every day.
10. Group Coloring Poster
Print a large print‑ready PDF image at a copy shop or tile the coloring sheet across several pages. Let a group of students color different sections. Carefully tape or glue them together on the back to create a big poster. Present it to a teacher as a collective thank‑you artwork they can hang in the classroom.
