Fun Crafts to do with Skeleton Coloring Pages
Coloring pages can be so much more than just a fun activity. Once your little ones finish bringing their skeleton designs to life with colors, you can turn those pages into delightful crafts. Here are five unique ideas to spark creativity and keep the fun going!
1. Create a Spooky Garland
After coloring the skeleton pages, cut them out and string them together to make a spooky garland. This adds a festive touch to your Halloween decorations. Simply punch holes in the top of each cut-out and thread a piece of twine or string through. You can alternate colored skeletons with black cardstock cutouts of bones or other spooky shapes for added effect. Hang it up in a doorway or across a mantel for a charming display!
2. Skeleton Puppet Show
Turn your colored pages into characters for a puppet show! Cut out the skeletons and attach them to popsicle sticks using glue or tape. You can create a little stage using a cardboard box. Invite your children to come up with a fun story featuring their crafted skeleton puppets. This will encourage imaginative play and storytelling skills.
3. Skeleton Party Invitations
If you're planning a Halloween party or gathering, why not transform your colored skeleton pages into inviting invitations? Simply fold the colored pages in half, write the details of your event on the inside, and decorate the front with some festive stickers or drawings. The kids will love sending these out to their friends, making them part of the celebratory spirit!
4. Skeleton Bookmarks
Cut your colored skeletons into slim strips to create bookmarks! Laminate them for extra durability or just glue them onto some cardstock to make them sturdier. Your little ones can decorate the corners with glitter or stickers for a personal touch. These bookmarks can later be gifted to friends or used as a fun surprise for their favorite books.
5. Personalize Picture Frames
Using the colored skeleton pages, create personalized picture frames. Cut out the skeletons and glue them around a cardboard cutout of a frame, leaving space in the middle for a photo. You can also add embellishments like sequins or additional drawings. Once finished, place a favorite family picture inside and display it proudly. This project not only recycles coloring pages but also captures cherished memories.
