Activities to Do With Airplane Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun land once the coloring is done. You can upcycle these pages into creative crafts and educational games. Here are a few ideas to keep the aviation theme going.
Create a Fleet of Paper Airplanes
This is the ultimate classic. Print out the simpler airplane designs on standard printer paper. Have your child color them in brightly, then look up different folding techniques to turn that coloring page into a functional glider. You can even host a competition to see whose plane flies the furthest.
Design a DIY Hanging Mobile
For a cute nursery or bedroom decoration, print 4 or 5 different airplanes on cardstock. Once colored, cut them out carefully. Punch a small hole in the top of each plane and tie a string to it. Attach the strings to a wire hanger or a wooden dowel to create a custom aviation mobile that spins in the breeze.
Build a Cardboard Airport
Grab a large piece of cardboard or a flattened box to act as your base. Draw runways, helipads, and hangars on it. Then, cut out your colored airplanes and use them as the “traffic” for your new airport. You can tape a toothpick to the back of the cutouts to make them stand up in foam or clay, creating a bustling 3D airport scene.
The Window Seat Challenge
Many of our coloring pages feature passenger planes with rows of windows. Challenge your child to draw tiny people or funny characters inside those windows. Ask them who is flying on the plane. Is it their family? A rock band? A zoo full of animals? It is a great way to spark storytelling.
Make a Pilot’s License
Use the blank space on the back of a coloring page or a separate sheet to draw a “Pilot’s License.” Glue a small cutout of one of the colored planes onto the license as their official vehicle. Have your child sign their name and list their destination. This adds a fun role-playing element to the art session.
FAQs
How Do I Print These Coloring Pages?
Printing is easy. Simply click on the image or the download link provided under the design you like. This will open a high-resolution PDF or image file. From there, just hit the print button on your browser or PDF viewer.
What Type of Paper Is Best for Coloring?
For standard crayons and colored pencils, regular printer paper works perfectly fine. However, if your child prefers using markers or watercolors, we recommend using cardstock or slightly thicker paper to prevent the ink from bleeding through to the other side.
Are These Coloring Pages Free?
Yes, all the coloring pages listed here are free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you need for your home, classroom, or daycare center.
Do Coloring Pages Help With Child Development?
Absolutely. Coloring helps children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and focus. It also allows them to practice holding writing tools correctly, which is a foundational skill for handwriting later on.
Can I Use These Pages for a Birthday Party?
These airplane coloring pages are excellent for aviation-themed birthday parties. You can print a stack of them to set up a quiet activity station, or put them in goodie bags with a small pack of crayons for guests to take home.
