10 Crafty Ideas to do with Parrot Coloring Pages

Here are 10 simple, creative, and budget-friendly craft ideas you can try using your finished parrot coloring pages – perfect for adding a little extra fun after the coloring is done!

1. Parrot Puppet Show

Sometimes the most fun comes after the coloring is done. One easy idea is turning your finished parrot into a puppet for a bit of creative play.

Just cut out your colored parrot and glue it onto a popsicle stick (or even a pencil if that’s what you have nearby). Want to add a little something extra? Try gluing on feathers, felt wings, or googly eyes for more texture and fun.

Make a few and you’ve got your own mini puppet show ready to go. It’s a simple, playful way to stretch the fun — perfect for storytelling, giggles, and a little imagination.

2. Sparkle Parrots

To begin with, just bust out the sequins, because they make things sparkle. This is one of the greatest craft ideas for the grade-schoolers who want to blow down the sequin.

To achieve the desired look, slightly overlap them to create the parrot feathers effect. They stick to blocks of color. Additionally, you may consider various colors that will maintain the same effect.

This craft idea is one of the best craft choices that turn out to be an excellent exercise for kids looking forward to perfecting their motor skills. In addition, it also becomes easier for youngsters with the larger sequins.

3. Parrot Habitat Poster

Learning where parrots live can be just as fun as coloring them in. For this activity, have kids design a parrot habitat poster by drawing or crafting the environment around their colored parrot.

They can add trees, leaves, waterfalls, or even a jungle background using markers, crayons, or bits of craft paper. Encourage them to label parts of the habitat, like “rainforest canopy” or “tree hollow,” to make it a little educational too.

Once finished, mount the page onto a larger piece of construction paper to give it that finished “poster” look. It’s a great blend of art and science — and a perfect project for classroom walls or the fridge at home.

4. Button-Eyed Parrots

To begin with, the craft glues the feathers to the parrot pictures that cover the parrot’s entire body or just the torso, wings, or tail.

Do you wish to make it cuter? Then, you can simply make use of the buttons for the parrot’s eyes. The alternative can be using a felt cut to the shape of the beak.  

5. DIY Parrot Greeting Card

There’s something really special about giving someone a card you made yourself. If you’ve been working on one of the parrot coloring pages and end up with a design you really love, why not turn it into a little greeting card?

Just cut out your finished parrot and glue it to the front of a folded piece of cardstock. You can keep it simple or add your own touches to make it more interesting and beautiful – maybe a few stickers, a bit of washi tape, or a little sparkle if you like that kind of thing.

Write a note inside and give it to someone who could use a smile. It’s a small gesture, but one that feels warm and thoughtful – and those are the best kind.

6. Curly Tail Parrots

Color in the parrot and cut it out, but in that case, leave out the tail.

Take one-inch by about 10-inch strips of construction paper and just go ahead with curling them with the use of a crayon or pencil.

This is one of the recommended choices because it helps design a parrot using curling ribbon and is especially suitable for older kids who can handle scissors.

Next, you have to do is to just glue one end of the strips to the back of the parrot to the point where its tail would go.

Add five or more strips so that you can use them to create a beautiful and colorful tail.

7. Parrot Fridge Magnets

This one’s simple, but so satisfying. After you finish coloring in a parrot you love, you can turn it into a cheerful little fridge magnet.

All you need to do is cut out your colored parrot and glue it onto a piece of cardboard to make it sturdy. Once it’s dry, add a small magnet to the back — you can find peel-and-stick ones at any craft store.

Pop it on the fridge, a magnetic board, or even your filing cabinet. It’s a fun way to display your artwork, and it adds just the right touch of color to your everyday space.

8. Parrot on a Perch

When it comes to this craft, you will have to use one of the parrot pictures that already have a branch. Also, you may use the one that doesn’t have one.

Color in the parrot. While you are doing so, make sure to even color any background in the picture.

Now, pick a brown paper bag and start folding it lengthwise until it’s about an inch thick. To achieve the desired shape, gently crumple, wrinkle, and crease the material.

In the case you’re using a picture with a branch already in it, see if there’s a possibility of shaping the paper bag into the one in the picture.

Glue the branch down to the page, but once you do it, make sure to hold it for a minute. Why you need to do this is that the paper sticks while the glue dries.

9. Parrot Headbands

If your kids love pretend play, this easy headband craft is such a fun way to turn their coloring into something wearable.

Start by choosing one of your favorite parrot coloring pages with a fun face or feathers, then print and color it in. Once finished, cut out the head or feature you’d like to use – maybe it’s just the face, or maybe a big set of parrot wings or a crest.

Next, cut a strip of paper long enough to wrap around your child’s head. You can tape or staple two strips together if needed. Then just glue the colored cutout to the front of the strip and secure the band with tape, staples, or even a paperclip at the back.

And just like that — you’ve got a bright, tropical headpiece perfect for playtime, costumes, or a little dance around the living room.

10. Parrot Peek-Out

The first approach you might follow is to use the parrot shape on its own. With this approach, there might be a possibility to reinforce with cardstock because computer paper usually turns out to be flimsy.

The second approach you might follow is to cut out the parrot and mount it onto a rectangle of construction paper or cardstock.

Regardless of the choice, ensure that you are using brilliantly colored markers. Every time you open your book to the page, it will make you immensely happy and satisfied with the craft that you’ve created.
