Activities to Do With Anime Coloring Pages
Don’t just color the pages and leave them in a pile. Turn your finished art into fun projects and creative decorations.
Create a Manga Storyboard
Print out several character pages, color them in, and cut them out. Glue the characters onto a large poster board in comic strip panels. Draw speech bubbles and write your own dialogue to create a unique manga storyline featuring your favorite designs.
DIY Anime Stickers
You can print these pages at a smaller scale, such as four or six images per page. Color them carefully with fine-tip markers. Cut them out and use double-sided tape or a glue stick to decorate notebooks, water bottles, or your laptop case.
Custom Trading Cards
Print the chibi or warrior characters on heavy cardstock. After coloring, cut them into rectangles. On the back of each card, write down the character’s name, superpowers, strength level, and a brief biography. You can trade these custom cards with friends.
Anime Binder Covers
Use the detailed full-page illustrations as covers for school binders. Color the background with vibrant patterns or solid neon colors to make the character pop. Slide the finished sheet into the clear front pocket of your binder for custom school supplies.
Glow-in-the-Dark Art
Outline the main features of the anime characters with glow-in-the-dark glue or neon highlighters. When you turn off the lights, the eyes, weapons, or magical auras will glow. This works especially well for the angel or warrior characters.
Character Standees
Print the characters on thick paper or glue the finished page to a piece of cereal box cardboard. Cut closely around the outline of the character. Fold a small strip of cardboard into a triangle and glue it to the back to make the character stand up. You can create a whole scene on your desk.
