Activities to Do with Cupcake Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can use these sheets for various crafts and games to keep the kids entertained for hours.
Create a DIY Birthday Banner
Print out several different cupcake designs and color them in bright, festive shades. Cut out each cupcake and punch two small holes near the top of the frosting. String a ribbon through the holes to create a custom garland for your next birthday party.
Design a Pretend Bakery Menu
Encourage imaginative play by turning your living room into a bakery. Have your child color a variety of cupcakes and give each one a unique name and price. They can tape the pages to a wall or arrange them on a table to serve their “customers.”
Make Personalized Greeting Cards
Shrink the printing scale to 50% or choose the simpler designs for this activity. Color the cupcakes, cut them out, and glue them onto folded cardstock. Add glitter or stickers for extra flair to create handmade cards for friends and family.
Play a Cupcake Memory Game
Print two copies of 5 to 10 different cupcake pages. Color the matching pairs identically, then cut them into uniform squares. Flip the cards face down and take turns trying to find the matching cupcake pairs.
Cupcake Toppers for Real Treats
If you are baking real cupcakes, use the coloring pages as decoration. Color the smaller designs, cut them out, and tape them to toothpicks. Stick the toothpicks into your baked goods for a custom touch that matches your party theme.
