Activities to Do With Cat Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. There are so many creative ways to use these sheets to keep your kids entertained for hours. Here are a few purr-fect ideas to get you started.
Create a DIY Cat Mask
This is a big hit with preschoolers. Choose a simple coloring page that features a large cat face. Have your child color it in, then carefully cut around the outline. Cut out two holes for the eyes, punch small holes on the sides, and attach a piece of string or elastic. Now your little one can pretend to be their favorite feline.
Design a Cat Mobile
Print out four or five small cat images on cardstock. After coloring them, cut them out and punch a hole at the top of each one. Tie them to varying lengths of string and attach them to a clothes hanger or a wooden dowel. This makes a cute decoration for a bedroom or a fun craft for a rainy afternoon.
Make a Pop-Up Card
Turn your artwork into a greeting card. Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make the card base. Color and cut out one of the cats, then create a small paper “spring” by folding a strip of paper back and forth. Glue the spring to the inside of the card and attach the cat cutout to it. When the card opens, the kitty will pop out to say hello.
Write a Creative Story
Use the coloring pages as writing prompts. Pick a scene, like the “Warrior Cat on a Mission” or the “Cat in the Stars,” and ask your child to write a short story about what is happening. What is the cat’s name? Where are they going? This is a fantastic way to combine art with literacy skills.
Decorate a Cat-Themed Party
If you are planning a birthday party, these sheets make excellent DIY decorations. You can cut them out to create bunting, use them as placemats, or even shrink them down to make custom cupcake toppers. It adds a personal touch and saves money on party supplies.
Create a “Cat Breed” Encyclopedia
Print out several different realistic cat pages. Have your child research different breeds like Siamese, Maine Coon, or Persian, and color the pages to match those breeds. They can staple the pages together to create their very own guide to cats, adding fun facts on the back of each page.
