10 Craft Ideas to Do with Summer Coloring Pages
Transforming summer coloring pages into unique crafts can be a fun way to bring the season’s joy to life. Let’s get more creative by incorporating specific elements of summer into our crafts, making each project a vibrant celebration of the season:
Scented Coloring Pages
After coloring in images of summer fruits like strawberries, watermelons, or citrus, sprinkle some related essential oils onto the pages. This adds a sensory dimension, making the pages not just visually summer-themed but also bringing the smells of summer indoors.
Interactive Beach Scene Shadow Box
Create a beach scene using colored pages of the ocean, sand, and sun. Cut out and layer these elements inside a shadow box. Add some real sand at the bottom and small shells for a 3D effect. This craft turns your coloring page into a dynamic piece of art, capturing the essence of a day at the beach.
Glow-in-the-Dark Firefly Jar
Color in a summer night scene with fireflies. Use glow-in-the-dark paint on the firefly parts. Once dried, cut out the scene and wrap it around the outside of a jar. Place a battery-operated tea light inside to mimic the enchanting glow of fireflies on a warm summer night.
Summer Dream Catchers
Use the circular parts of your coloring pages (like the sun or a beach ball) as the center of a dream catcher. Color and cut out, then attach to a ring, weaving strings around in traditional dream catcher fashion. Embellish with feathers and beads that match your summer palette. Hang by your window to catch those sweet summer dreams.
Floating Water Lily Pads
After coloring in lily pads and flowers, cut them out and laminate them. These waterproof lily pads can then float in a garden pond or a bowl of water, adding a colorful, whimsical touch to your summer decor.
Summer Wind Chimes
Color and cut out summer shapes like suns, ice creams, and flip-flops from cardstock. Punch holes at the top and bottom of each shape, then string them together vertically with fishing line, adding beads in-between for a sparkling effect. Hang these strands from a piece of driftwood or a metal ring to create a cheerful summer wind chime.
Nature Exploration Kit
Turn your colored pages into a cover for a handmade nature exploration notebook. Add pockets inside for collecting summer treasures like leaves, feathers, and flat stones. Use the notebook to record observations or sketch additional summer findings.
Picnic Table Runner
Color in various summer fruits and picnic scenes, then arrange and glue them onto a long piece of fabric to create a unique table runner. Seal it with clear fabric sealer to protect your artwork. This runner is perfect for outdoor summer meals, bringing your colorful creations to the picnic table.
Seashell Photo Frames
After coloring beach scenes, cut them into strips and use them to decorate the borders of plain photo frames. Glue small seashells onto the corners to frame summer memories in a thematic way.
Illuminated Paper Lanterns
Cut out colored images of summer fruits, fireworks, and stars. Glue them onto paper lanterns, creating a patchwork effect. When lit from within, these lanterns will cast a soft, summery glow, perfect for evening gatherings. By blending the act of coloring with elements of summer, these crafts offer a creative outlet that celebrates the season’s vibrancy, warmth, and fun, making each project a memorable part of your summer adventures.
