5 Crafty Ideas to do with German Shepherd Coloring Pages

Here are some simple and creative ways to make your child’s German Shepherd coloring pages even more special if they’ve been having fun with them.

5. German Shepherd Puppet Pal

Make a fun puppet out of your finished coloring page that you can use for storytelling or pretend play!

First, have your child color in a page with a German Shepherd on it. When they’re done, carefully cut out the dog. Next, glue the cutout to a strong piece of cardboard or a brown paper lunch bag. If you’re using a bag, make sure the dog’s face is on the flap.

If your dog is pretending to be a police dog, you can give him more personality by adding googly eyes, a small felt tongue, or even a badge made of construction paper.

The puppet is ready to go once it dries! This craft brings a favorite dog breed to life in a fun and creative way, whether it’s doing tricks or going on a pretend patrol.

4. Desk Buddy

Make your colored German Shepherd art into a cute little friend that can sit on a desk or shelf and look great!

First, have your child color and cut out a German Shepherd from one of the pages. After that, glue the cutout to a piece of cardstock or lightweight cardboard that has been folded, trimming around the shape so it stands up tall.

Next, cut out a small rectangle from another piece of cardstock and fold it into a “stand.” Glue this to the back of the German Shepherd to help it stand up.

If the dog is a working dog, kids can even give it a name tag, a paper bone, or a small badge. This easy craft makes a great decoration and a good friend for kids to keep them company while they do homework or draw.

3. German Shepherd Mask

This easy and fun German Shepherd mask is great for kids to dress up as their favorite fuzzy friend. First, you need to pick out a German Shepherd face from one of the coloring pages. Print it out for your child to color, then cut around the head’s shape.

Next, to make the mask last longer, cut out eye holes and glue it to a thicker piece of paper or light cardboard. Then, make a hole in the middle of each side and tie a ribbon or elastic string through them so the mask fits well on your head.

Moreover, you can add felt ears, a paper tongue, or even a small paper tag if your dog is on duty to make it look more interesting.

You can use it for role-playing, dressing up, or even just pretending to be a faithful friend.

2. German Shepherd Rock Pet

Make a cute German Shepherd pet out of a rock that your child can keep forever.

First, look for a flat, smooth rock that is big enough for your child’s hand. To make the rock look like a German Shepherd, have your child paint it all in brown and black.

Paint markers or small brushes can be used to add eyes, ears, a nose, and even a little tongue after it’s dry. For a fun 3D look, you can also glue on plastic eyes and felt ears.

If you want, you can add a small collar with a paper tag that has the dog’s name written on it and a strip of ribbon or pipe cleaner.

This cute little rock dog is a fun thing to keep, use as a paperweight, or give as a gift. It’s also a great way to combine your love of animals with your imagination!

1. Tail-Wagging Spinner

With this fun craft, kids can turn their German Shepherd coloring pages into a moving, tail-wagging work of art.

First, have your child color in a German Shepherd from one of the pages, and then have them carefully cut it out. Next, cut out a different tail form from a piece of sturdy paper or cardboard (you may either trace it from the original drawing or freehand it).

To make the tail wag or spin when the dog moves, secure it to the back of the dog using a tiny brass clip, also called a paper brad.

For extra fun, kids can add a paper collar, name tag, or even a little police jacket to the dog. When it’s done, they can flick the tail a little to make their puppy come to life!

It’s an easy craft that you can do with other people, which makes any coloring page more fun.
