10 Craft Ideas To Do With Rainbow Coloring Pages for Kids
You put so much effort into coloring those bright, beautiful pages — now it’s time to bring that artwork off the paper and into your room! Here are 10 of our favorite ways to reuse your finished rainbow coloring pages.
Unicorn Power Wand
Unleash the inner magician! Take one of your unicorn-themed pages from this collection and cut out just the unicorn’s horn, coloring it super bright. Back the horn with thick cardboard to make it sturdy. Glue a long, colorful stick to the base and decorate the top with some sparkly ribbon. Voila! You have a personalized unicorn wand ready for imaginative play.
Happy Cloud and Raindrop Garland
Grab the “Smiley Rainbow with Raindrops” and “Weather Icons with a Rainbow” pages. Cut out several happy clouds and some bright raindrops. String these cutouts onto a piece of yarn. When you hang this cheerful chain from the ceiling, it looks like you’ve created a mini indoor scene where the rain is always happy!
Fluttering Butterfly Wall Art
Use the “Butterfly Flying Over a Rainbow” page. Color several butterflies in different patterns and cut them out. When attaching these butterflies to the wall or a bulletin board, only put glue on the center body of the butterfly — leave the wings free. This creates a cool 3D effect, making it look like your butterfly army is fluttering off the page!
Instant Cake Toppers
Got a special occasion coming up? Color small, cute objects from pages like the “Rainbow Cake Slice” or “Hot Air Balloon in a Rainbow Sky.” After cutting out the image, secure it to the tip of a toothpick or a small skewer. You’ve instantly created a homemade, personalized cake topper — a small detail that makes a big statement.
Dog & Cat Stick Puppets
Got kids who love imaginary play? Grab the “Puppy and Kitten Together” page. Color and cut out the animals, maybe even give them funny accessories. Then tape a wooden craft stick or a sturdy straw to the back of each figure. They’re perfect for a rainbow-themed puppet show right on the kitchen counter!
Rainbow ‘Flower’ Lollipops
This craft is great for parties! Use images with small, round elements like the “Rainbow Cake Slice” or the “Rainbow Birthday Balloons and Cake” page. Color these pieces and cut them out in a circle. Glue the center of your colored circle to the back of a real lollipop stick (or a pencil). You’ve turned a simple piece of paper into a bright treat holder or a fun pencil topper!
Weather Watch Dial
This one’s surprisingly educational! Use your completed “Weather Icons with a Rainbow” page. Glue the image onto a thick piece of cardboard. Cut out an arrow from another page, and use a paper fastener (brad) to attach the arrow to the center of the glued picture. Kids can spin the arrow to match whatever weather they see outside.
Huggable Heart Garland
You colored those little hearts perfectly on the “Rainbow with Floating Hearts” page. Color and cut out about ten of them. Punch a hole at the top of each heart. Thread a piece of ribbon through them, leaving a little space between each one. You now have a custom heart garland that brings all the happy colors from this collection right to your bedroom wall.
Rainbow-Wrapped Time Capsule
This is a deep one! When you finish your favorite page from this collection, take a moment to write a note on the back about what your child loves right now (favorite toy, song, friend). Roll up the page and use it to wrap around a small box or tube containing a few tiny current treasures. Tape it shut and promise to open your colorful time capsule next year!
Rainbow Window Suncatcher
Use the “Simple Rainbow Arc” page for an easy window decoration. Color the rainbow, cut around the outer shape, and lightly brush the back with a small amount of cooking oil so the paper becomes slightly translucent. Let it dry completely, then tape it to a sunny window for a simple rainbow suncatcher effect.
