Fun Crafts to do with Animal Coloring Pages
Coloring pages offer a wonderful opportunity for creativity and imagination. Once your little ones have finished adding their colorful touch, why not transform those pages into delightful crafts? Here are five unique ideas to turn those masterpieces into keepsakes or playful creations.
1. Create Custom Bookmarks
Once the coloring is done, cut out the colored animal pictures from the pages. Trim them into a rectangular or fun shape, and then laminate them to make them durable. Punch a hole at the top and add a colorful ribbon. Now you have a beautiful bookmark that’s perfect for encouraging reading time.
2. Make a Mobile
For a mobile, gather several colored animal pages. Cut out the animals and glue them onto lightweight cardstock to give them a bit of sturdiness. Cut different lengths of string or yarn, and attach each animal to a separate piece. Hang them from a branch or a hoop to create a charming mobile that brightens up any room.
3. Design Greeting Cards
Take those colorful creations and turn them into greeting cards. Fold a piece of cardstock in half and glue the colored animal artwork on the front. You can write a sweet note inside for any occasion. This is a lovely way to share the joy of coloring with family and friends, making them feel special.
4. Create a Memory Game
For a fun and educational activity, use your colored animal pages to create a matching game. Cut out pairs of each colored animal and glue them onto sturdy index cards. Once the cards are ready, you can play a matching game with your little ones, helping them improve memory skills while enjoying their artwork.
5. Craft a Collage
Gather several colored pages and cut out different parts of the animals. Create a fun collage by adding these pieces to a larger sheet of paper or cardboard. Arrange them in a playful way and glue them down. You can also use extra materials like old magazines or glitter to enhance the collage. Display it proudly on the wall for all to admire.
