Activities to Do With Bird Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. Here are some creative ways to use these pages for education and play.
Create a Bird Watching Journal
Use the coloring pages as covers or inserts for a DIY nature journal. After coloring a specific bird, kids can go outside and try to spot it in the wild. They can write down the date, time, and location of the sighting on the back of the page to create a personal log.
Make Feathered Puppets
Cut out the birds after coloring them. Glue a popsicle stick to the back of each cutout to create simple stick puppets. Children can act out stories about migration, nest building, or finding food, which encourages imaginative play and storytelling skills.
Design Window Suncatchers
For a translucent effect, color the pages with oil pastels or markers and then rub a little vegetable oil over the back of the paper. Once dry, tape the artwork to a sunny window. The light shines through the paper and makes the colors glow like stained glass.
Create Mixed Media Art
Encourage kids to glue real items onto their coloring pages to add texture. They can use craft feathers for the wings, small twigs for the branches, or dried leaves for the background. This sensory activity adds a 3D element to their artwork.
Play a Bird Fact Memory Game
Print two copies of several different bird pages. Color them in matching pairs and cut them into square cards. Place the cards face down and take turns flipping two over to find a match. This boosts memory and helps children recognize different species.
Assemble a Mobile
Color and cut out several birds, such as the swallows or parrots. Punch a small hole at the top of each one and thread a piece of string through it. Tie the strings to a clothes hanger or a crossed pair of sticks to create a flying bird mobile for a bedroom decoration.
Decorate Greeting Cards
Shrink the printing size settings to fit two or four images on one page. Color these smaller birds and cut them out to paste onto folded cardstock. These homemade cards are perfect for birthdays, Mother’s Day, or thank-you notes.
