Activities to Do With Eagle Coloring Pages
Don’t just color and quit! These illustrations are the starting point for some fantastic crafts and educational projects. Here are a few ways to bring your eagle artwork to life.
Create a Textured Collage
Give your eagle majestic plumage using mixed media. After coloring the body, use glue to attach small craft feathers to the wings and tail. You can also rip up bits of brown and white tissue paper and ball them up. Glue these paper balls onto the bird to create a fun, 3D texture that mimics fluffy down feathers.
Eagle Stick Puppets
Turn your coloring page into a toy. Print your favorite eagle design on cardstock or thick paper. Once you finish coloring, carefully cut out the bird. Tape a popsicle stick or a sturdy straw to the back. Now your child can fly their puppet around the house or put on a nature-themed puppet show.
Patriotic Party Decor
Hosting a Fourth of July barbecue or a Memorial Day gathering? Use the American Eagle pages as custom decorations. Color them in bold red, white, and blue hues. String them together to make a banner, or use them as placemats for the kids’ table. It is a simple way to add a personal touch to your holiday celebration.
Build a Shoebox Habitat
Learn about where eagles live by building a diorama. Grab an old shoebox and paint the inside blue for the sky. Collect twigs and dry grass from your yard to build a nest in the corner. Cut out your colored eagle and place it in the nest or hang it from the top of the box with fishing line so it looks like it is soaring.
Eagle Fact Trading Cards
Turn this into a science lesson. After coloring the pages, cut out the eagles and paste them onto index cards. On the back of each card, help your child write a cool fact about the bird. For example, “Eagles have amazing eyesight” or “They build huge nests.” This helps kids retain information while having fun.
FAQs
Why Are They Called Bald Eagles?
They are not actually bald! The name comes from an Old English word “balde” which meant white. It refers to the snowy white feathers on their heads that contrast with their dark brown bodies.
What Colors Should I Use for an American Eagle?
To make a realistic Bald Eagle, use a dark brown for the body and wings. Leave the head and tail feathers bright white. Use a golden yellow for the beak and feet. However, feel free to use any colors you like for a fantasy bird!
Where Do Eagles Usually Build Their Nests?
Eagles prefer to build their nests in very tall trees near water. They like high spots so they can easily spot prey and take flight. Some eagles also build nests on high cliffs or rocky ledges.
What Do Eagles Eat?
Eagles are carnivores, which means they eat meat. Their favorite food is fish, which they snatch from the water with their strong talons. They also eat small mammals like rabbits, squirrels, and other birds.
Can I Use Markers on These Coloring Pages?
Yes, markers work great for vibrant colors. If you print these pages on standard printer paper, we recommend placing a blank sheet underneath your coloring page. This prevents the marker ink from bleeding through onto your table.
What Is the Difference Between a Golden Eagle and a Bald Eagle?
The main visual difference is the feathers. An adult Bald Eagle has a white head and tail. A Golden Eagle is entirely dark brown with a golden sheen on the back of its head and neck. Golden Eagles also have feathers all the way down their legs, while Bald Eagles have bare legs.
