8 Crafty Ideas To Do with Donkey Coloring Pages
Donkeys are friendly animals loved for their calm nature and hardworking spirit. Making crafts inspired by donkeys can be a lot of fun, whether planning a themed party, doing a school project, or just looking for something enjoyable. These 8 craft ideas for donkey coloring pages are guaranteed to make you smile!
1. DIY Donkey Pinata
A donkey pinata is a super exciting addition to any party. Here’s how you can make your own.
Start with a big balloon and a mixture of flour and water for papier-mâché. Cover the balloon with strips of newspaper and let it dry overnight. Then, pop the balloon and take it out.
Now, cut crepe or tissue paper strips and stick them onto the pinata. Use black and gray paper to make the donkey’s special parts like its ears, mane, and tail.
Fill the pinata with candies or small toys before sealing the top with more papier-mâché and letting it dry. Once it’s ready, hang it up and let the fun begin!
2. Donkey Paper Plate Mask
This easy craft is perfect for kids. Take a paper plate and cut holes for the eyes. Paint it gray, or brown, or color it with markers.
Cut out ears from gray or brown paper and stick them on top of the plate. Use markers or more paper to add details like the nose and mouth.
Attach a craft stick at the bottom so you can hold the mask up to your face. Ta-da! Your donkey mask is ready for pretend play.
3. Donkey Finger Puppet
Finger puppets are great for storytelling and playing together.
Cut out a donkey shape from felt or strong fabric. Glue or sew the edges together, leaving the bottom open for your finger.
Use smaller pieces of felt to add details like the eyes, ears, and tail. You can also glue on some yarn for a mane or tail to make it extra special.
Once it’s dry, slip your finger inside and create your donkey adventures.
4. Donkey-Themed Storybook
You can make a personalized storybook with a donkey theme by using colored donkey pages as the main characters in a story. First, color a bunch of donkey pages, remember each one should have a different face or background to match a scene in your story. Once colored, cut out the donkey pages and glue them onto blank sheets of paper.
Put a short story under each picture to help the reader follow the donkey’s journey. Use a simple ribbon or staples along one edge to bind the pages into a booklet. This craft not only helps kids be creative but also helps them learn how to tell stories.
5. Donkey Mobile
Make a cute hanging ornament out of your donkey coloring pages. First, use bright colors to color a few donkey pages. To make each donkey form, carefully cut it out after coloring it. Make a small hole in the top of every donkey shape.
Next, put a thread or piece of string through the hole in each cutout.
Use a sturdy branch, dowel, or needlework hoop as the base of your mobile, and then tie the strings at different lengths to make the effect of a balanced waterfall. Put the mobile somewhere it can slowly sway and show off your bright donkey designs.
6. Donkey-Themed Greeting Cards
Make your greeting cards with a donkey theme for any event. To begin, choose a coloring page of a donkey that you believe would be a wonderful addition to the front of a card. After you color the picture, carefully cut it out.
Turn a sheet of paper in half to make the base of the card. Attach the colored donkey shape to the card’s front with glue.
You can add more drawings, stickers, or decorations like glitter to the background to make it look nicer. Personalize the card by writing a message, and placing it inside. This craft is a smart way to be creative and enjoy the thrill of giving a card that you made yourself.
7. Decorative Donkey Pot
Turn a simple clay pot into a cute donkey planter. Start with a clean clay pot and paint it gray or brown. Let it dry completely.
Use black paint to add the donkey’s face: eyes, nose, and mouth. Add ears and a mane using more paint or yarn glued on.
Once it’s dry, fill the pot with soil and plant your favorite flowers or herbs. This adorable planter will add a whimsical touch to any garden or room.
8. Donkey Wall Art
Make donkey-themed wall art using simple materials. Begin with a canvas or thick paper. Paint the background in blue or green to look like the sky or grass.
Draw or trace a donkey outline on the canvas using black paint or a marker. Add eyes, ears, and a tail.
Use colored paper or fabric scraps to create a collage around the donkey, adding flowers, stars, or other decorations to finish the scene.
Once it’s done, frame the artwork or hang it directly on the wall as a cheerful decoration.
