11 Crafty Ideas To Do With Rhino Coloring Pages
Rhinos are incredible animals that spark creativity in many ways, and creating rhino crafts is a fun activity that helps you learn about these creatures while making something beautiful. Here are 11 enjoyable and simple crafts for rhino coloring pages that anyone can make.
1. Paper Mache Rhinos
Paper mache is an enjoyable way to create a sturdy model. First, you’ll need a balloon, some old newspapers, and a mix of flour and water for the paste. Blow up the balloon to the size you want your rhino to be.
Tear the newspaper into strips, dip them in the paste, and cover the balloon with layers of paper. Once it’s dry, pop the balloon, and you’ll have a hollow rhino shape. Paint it gray and add eyes, ears, and a horn. This craft takes some time to dry, but the result is worth the wait.
2. The Rhino Can Fly
To do this activity, you’ll need an empty toilet paper roll, the finished coloring page of rhino, and some scissors to cut out the head and body.
After that, thread a string through the roll.
Attach the rhino’s head to the front of a roll of toilet paper, then use glue to attach gray pom-poms to the bottoms of his feet. For a tail, a small piece of pipe cleaner works great.
A funny “flying rhino” that can be hung in any opening can be made by drawing, cutting out, and attaching wings.
3. Rhino Clay Sculptures
Working with clay is another way to make a rhino. Use air-dry clay, which is easy to mold and doesn’t need baking. Start by shaping a large oval for the body, then add legs, a head, and a tail. Make the horn from a small piece of clay and attach it to the head.
Once your rhino is complete, let it dry overnight. After it hardens, paint it with your favorite colors. When I was a kid, I made a clay rhino and painted it bright blue because I thought it would look magical!
4. A Joy-Filled Rhino
People from many ancient cultures have seen rhinos as happy animals, which is why they are frequently used in crafts.
Making a “Joy-Filled Rhino” is an easy project for kids.
After coloring and cutting out the rhino, have the child trace its shape on a gray piece of paper, then glue or pin the pages together along one edge.
As the colorful rhino is drawn back, the “shadow” rhino appears; the youngster is encouraged to write down all the things that bring them joy!
5. Rhino-Themed Origami
Origami is the art of folding paper, and with just one piece of paper, you can make a rhino. Start by finding a square sheet and following the easy steps found online or in origami books. Carefully fold the paper to shape the rhino’s body, head, and horn. It’s amazing how a flat piece of paper can become a 3D animal. The first time I made an origami rhino, I was so happy that I showed it to all my friends and family.
6. Make a fun magnet for your fridge
Encourage children to do this adorable activity by having them laminate the reverse side of a paper plate with a completed rhino coloring page.
A white pipe cleaner wrapped around a Q-tip makes a great 3D horn, and pink felt can be folded into rhino ears.
You can add big wiggle eyes to finish it off in a funny way. Once you add a simple magnet to the back, the fridge takes on a completely new appearance!
7. Rhino Masks
Making rhino masks is a fun activity for kids. Start with a paper plate as the base. Cut out holes for the eyes and paint the plate gray. Add a paper horn and use markers to draw the rhino’s face. Attach a string or use a stick to hold the mask.
These masks are great for pretend play. I remember wearing one during a school play; it made me feel like I was really part of the savanna.
8. Recycled Rhino
An unopened and clean jar of peanut butter, five small paper cups, some puffy gray paint, two googly eyes, and some glue are all the materials needed for this activity.
Place the jar on its side and attach one of the dixie cups to the “lid” end, with the bottom facing out; this will serve as the rhino’s head.
After that, you can use the other dixie cups as feet, making sure to place the broadest section at the bottom. The different parts of the coloring page are used to print the rhino once it is put together.
Adding googly eyes and gray spray paint is the last step!
9. Create a Rhino that Dances
You can do this project with one child or with a group of kids. Once you have colored the rhino, cut it out of the coloring page into several pieces.
Paper clips should be used to put the head, legs, and tailback together so that all of the parts can move.
Children can arrange the rhinos in amusing ways or even create a large picture that includes all the rhinos.
Every day, the picture can look different because the kids can move the rhinos around.
10. Embroidered Rhino Designs
Embroidery is a lovely craft that involves sewing designs onto fabric. Even beginners can make nice rhino patterns. Start by picking a simple rhino design, tracing it onto fabric, and using basic stitches to outline the shape.
This craft needs patience but is very rewarding. When I first tried it, my stitches were uneven, but with practice, my rhino design turned out great. I framed it as a keepsake.
These rhino crafts are not only fun to make, but they also help people understand and appreciate these magnificent animals. Whether using paper, clay, or fabric, creating something with your own hands is a wonderful experience.
11. An Enjoyable Way to Learn Words
For this fun project, have each kid draw a big “R” on a piece of construction paper and then decorate it however they like.
After completing rhino coloring pages, the kids needs to choose their favorite coloring page and then cut out the rhino and place him in the middle of the “R.”
Every word that comes to mind that begins with an “R” can be written down by the children on each side of the letter to be used. There could even be a reward for the kid who thinks the most.
