20 Fun Craft Ideas Using Animal Coloring Pages
Animal coloring pages are fun on their own, but they can also be turned into amazing crafts.
Using all these newly colored pages, kids can create interactive, educational, and decorative crafts that extend the fun beyond coloring.
1. 3D Corgi Puppet
Print and color a corgi page, then glue it onto a thick piece of cardboard. Cut out the shape and attach small accordion-folded strips of paper between the head and body to create a bobble-head effect.
Use a craft stick as a handle to turn it into a fun puppet.
2. Fluffy Sloth Wall Art
After coloring a sloth, cut it out and glue it onto a tree branch made of brown construction paper. Use cotton balls or brown yarn to create a soft, furry texture for the sloth’s body. Display it as cute jungle wall art.
3. Dinosaur Fossil Prints
Color and cut out a dinosaur. Press it onto a flattened piece of air-dry clay to create a fossil imprint. Once dry, kids can paint it with brown and beige tones to make it look like a real prehistoric fossil.
4. Fingerprint Fox Art
After coloring a fox, place it on a sheet of orange construction paper. Using orange and white paint, let kids dab their fingerprints around the edges to create a fuzzy fur effect. Add googly eyes and a cotton ball for the nose.
5. Flapping Owl Wings Craft
Cut out a colored owl, and then separately cut out the wings. Attach them to the body using brass fasteners so they can flap up and down. Hang it from the ceiling for a flying owl effect.
6. Turtle Shell Hat
Cut out a turtle shell coloring page, reinforce it with cardstock, and tape it to the bottom of a paper bowl. Punch holes in the sides and attach string so kids can wear their own turtle shell hat.
7. Farm Animal Storybook
Print multiple farm animal coloring pages and let kids create their own storybook. After coloring, they can staple the pages together and write a short story under each picture.
8. Bouncing Kangaroo Craft
Color and cut out a kangaroo. Attach it to a spring or rubber band glued inside a paper cup. When tapped, the kangaroo bounces like it’s jumping.
9. Climbing Koala Rope Craft
Cut out a koala coloring page and tape it to two pieces of string. Attach the strings to a plastic straw and hang it from a doorknob. Kids can pull the strings apart to make the koala climb up the rope.
10. Zebra Striped Sensory Art
After coloring a zebra, use black yarn or felt strips to replace the zebra’s stripes. This gives the craft a fun textured, fuzzy feel.
11. Paper Plate Crocodile Puppet
Color and cut out a crocodile head. Attach it to the top of a folded paper plate so that when kids open and close the plate, the crocodile’s mouth moves.
12. Sunflower & Bee Paper Chain
Cut out sunflowers and bees from coloring pages. Attach them together using paper loops, creating a hanging garden decoration.
13. Llama Crayon Holder
Wrap a toilet paper roll in colored paper, then glue a cut-out llama coloring page to the front. The tube can now be used as a crayon or marker holder.
14. Penguin Ice Skating Scene
After coloring and cutting out a penguin, place it on wax paper to resemble an ice skating rink. Add cotton balls for snow.
15. Jumping Frog Game
Color and cut out a frog. Attach it to a small spring from a pen and glue it onto cardboard. When pressed down, the frog will jump.
16. Elephant Water Spray Art
Use an elephant coloring page and cut out the trunk. Attach a small spray bottle to the back so kids can spray water or colored paint through the trunk for a fun splatter effect.
17. Tiger Paper Bag Puppet
Color and cut out a tiger face, then glue it onto a brown paper lunch bag to create a simple hand puppet.
18. Hanging Parrot Perch
Cut out a colored parrot, reinforce it with cardboard, and glue it to a wooden dowel or straw. Hang it from a ribbon to create a hanging parrot decoration.

Cut out a colored spider and glue it onto a black construction paper web made by drawing white glue lines and sprinkling it with glitter.
