Activities to Do With Duck Coloring Pages
Don’t just color these pages; turn them into a full afternoon of fun. Here are a few creative ways to use your finished masterpieces.
Create a 3D Feathery Duck
Add some texture to your artwork. After coloring the duck, glue real yellow craft feathers onto the wings or body. If you don’t have feathers, yellow cotton balls work great for making baby ducks look fluffy and soft.
Make Popsicle Stick Puppets
Turn your art into a toy. Color the duck carefully, then cut it out with scissors. Tape a popsicle stick to the back of the cutout. Now you have a character for your own puppet show or storytime.
Design a Pond Diorama
Create a home for your ducks. Use an old shoebox and paint the inside blue to look like water and sky. Cut out your colored ducks and place them inside the box. You can add real twigs, rocks, or green paper grass to make a realistic habitat.
Play the “Pin the Bill” Game
This is a fun twist on a classic party game. Print a large duck outline but leave the beak uncolored. Color a separate beak and cut it out. Blindfold the player and see if they can tape the beak in the right spot on the duck’s face.
Write a Duck Comic Strip
Use the pages to tell a story. Print out 3 or 4 different scenes, like the duck riding a bike or cooking. Staple them together and write speech bubbles for what the duck is saying or thinking in each picture.
Duck Math Counters
Print several copies of the smaller ducklings. Color them and cut them out. Use these little ducks to help preschoolers practice counting, addition, or subtraction. It makes math much more entertaining.
