10 Crafty Ideas To Do With Kangaroo Coloring Pages
Kangaroo coloring pages can be used to make fun things that are good for learning and having fun at the same time. These ideas will help you maximize the use of kangaroo-themed artwork, whether your project is about wildlife, making homemade gifts, or just searching for creative activities. Ten interesting craft projects to try are listed below.
1. Kangaroo Paper Masks
You can turn your kangaroo coloring page into a charming mask that children can wear for imaginative play or themed celebrations. First, after coloring the kangaroo’s face, cut it out, making sure to cut holes for the eyes.
Then, put a popsicle stick in the bottom for a portable mask, or make holes in the sides and secure with an elastic band to wear it on your face. If you want the ears to have a fluffy appearance, you may also add texture by gluing on felt or synthetic fur. This project would be great for a day of animal education or an event with an Zoo-theme.
2. Kangaroo-Themed Storytelling Puppets
Make kangaroo coloring pages into puppets for stories to encourage children to be creative. After coloring, cut out the kangaroo and glue it to a straw or wooden popsicle stick. Attach small felt pieces for the ears and nose to give it more depth.
As a way to bring stories like “The Kangaroo’s Pouch” and other Australian folktales to life, you can assemble a set of puppets depicting various kangaroo positions. Whether you’re using them for classroom activities or reciting bedtime stories, these puppets are perfect.
3. Australian Wildlife Collage
To make an informative collage about Australian wildlife, color and cut out kangaroos and other local animals like koalas, platypuses, and emus. Then, using glue, arrange them on a big poster board to create an outback scene with trees, grass, and Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the distance.
Give every animal a name and an interesting fact, such as “Kangaroos can hop up to 25 feet in one leap!” The environment of Australia is the subject of this craft, which is perfect for use in school projects or for homeschooling classes.
4. Kangaroo-Themed Greeting Cards
You can make unique birthday cards by using your kangaroo coloring pages. To get started, after coloring, cut out the kangaroo and stick it onto a folded cardstock.
Add ornamentals such as hand-drawn backdrops, stickers, or patterned paper. Invitations like these can be used for a variety of occasions, including birthdays, thank-you messages, and even celebration Day.
You may make it more engaging by cutting out a baby joey and attaching it to the card with a small paper spring. This way, when the mother kangaroo’s pouch is opened, the young joey will climb out.
5. Kangaroo-Inspired Bookmarks
A kangaroo-themed bookmark may help young readers find reading even more fun. Once you’ve colored the kangaroo, cut out a rectangle bookmark or draw around its outline.
First, laminate it to make it more durable, and then punch a hole at the top so that you can attach a ribbon or tassel to it.
You could also write a motivational kangaroo quote, like “Read a good book and start a new adventure!” For children in reading programs, these bookmarks are wonderful presents or prizes.
6. Kangaroo Window Suncatchers
Design exquisite suncatchers from your kangaroo coloring sheet. Once colored, gently cut out the kangaroo form and attach it to a translucent contact paper sheet. After filling in the empty spaces with tiny pieces of colorful tissue paper, cover it with another layer of contact paper.
Then, cut the edges then use suction cups or tape to hang the suncatcher on a window. This is a wonderful project for children to learn about light and color since sunlight produces a vivid stained-glass effect when it goes through.
7. Kangaroo-Themed Gift Wrap and Tags
If you are wrapping presents for someone passionate about animals, you can create personalized gift wraps by using the kangaroo coloring pages you have. After coloring and decorating several pages, join them using tape to create a larger sheet.
Then, cut out colorful kangaroo images and place them onto basic wrapping paper for a themed look for modest gifts. If you want to make a one-of-a-kind gift tag, you may also cut out a kangaroo of a different color, write a message on the back of the kangaroo, and punch a hole in it.
8. Kangaroo Mobile for Kids’ Room
Make a hanging mobile featuring kangaroos for the Kids’ Room. First of all, cut out many kangaroo images in varying sizes, then punch holes in the top. Attach strings to each cutout and hang them from a wooden embroidery hoop or branch.
You can add paper cutouts of stars, the moon, or miniature clouds to the subject to make it more interesting. To make a natural-inspired decoration, hang the mobile in a playroom or over a cot.
9. 3D Kangaroo Stand-Up decorations
To make a beautiful 3D ornament out of your coloring sheet by pasting the colored kangaroo onto cardboard and then cutting it out. Then, to create the second piece of cardboard upright, cut out a stand-shaped shape and fasten it to the rear.
For an easy-to-assemble tabletop nature scene, you may assemble a whole set with trees, baby kangaroos, and other creatures. This craft is perfect for showcasing in the classroom or setting up for playtime.
10. Kangaroo-Themed Scrapbook Pages
If you want to enjoy scrapbooking, then design themed scrapbooks using your kangaroo coloring pages. To get started, you can use the colored kangaroo as a decorative element for travel memories, visits to the zoo, or vacations to Wildlife by cutting it out and using it.
Put it together with some stickers, some washi tape, and some journaling notes about your event. You can also add interesting facts about kangaroos to make it a useful memory.
