Activities to Do With Grinch Coloring Pages
Don’t just color the pages and put them in a drawer. You can turn these printables into interactive fun for the whole family during the holidays. Here are a few creative ideas to try.
Create a “Grow Your Heart” Meter
Print a coloring page of the Grinch with a frowning face. Tape it to a wall or refrigerator. Every time your child does a kind deed or helps around the house, stick a small red heart sticker on the page. The goal is to fill the page with hearts by Christmas Day to show how kindness grows.
DIY Grinch Ornaments
Print the character faces on heavy cardstock. After coloring, cut them out carefully. punch a small hole at the top and thread a ribbon through it. You can hang these on your Christmas tree or string them together to make a festive garland for the fireplace mantel.
Pin the Heart on the Grinch
This is a fun holiday twist on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Print the largest Grinch image you can find (or tape four sheets together). Color him green, but leave his chest empty. Cut out red paper hearts and put double-sided tape on the back. Blindfold the players and see who can stick the heart closest to the right spot.
Green Slime Afternoon
Combine a coloring session with a sensory activity. After coloring your pages, make “Grinch Slime” using clear glue, baking soda, contact lens solution, and plenty of lime green food coloring. You can even add red heart sequins to the slime. It is a great way to keep hands busy while watching the movie.
Custom Holiday Greeting Cards
Shrink the coloring pages down in your printer settings to print two or four per page. Fold them to create custom Christmas cards. Have your kids color the front and write a message inside like “Merry Grinchmas” or “Don’t be a Grinch!” These make hilarious cards for friends and family.
Grinch Mask Making
Choose a close-up image of the Grinch’s face. Color it in with bright greens and yellow for the eyes. Cut out the face and carefully remove the eyes so you can see through them. Tape a popsicle stick to the bottom or attach a string to the sides to create a wearable mask for holiday photos.
FAQs
What Are the Best Colors to Use for the Grinch?
The Grinch is famous for his specific shade of avocado or lime green. However, you can use various shades to create depth. Use a dark forest green for shadows and a bright yellow-green for highlights. For his eyes, use bright yellow with red pupils for that classic animated look.
Can I Use Paint on These Coloring Pages?
Yes, you can use watercolor or acrylic paints, but standard printer paper might wrinkle or bleed through. If you plan to paint, we recommend printing the pages on heavy cardstock or mixed-media paper to handle the moisture better.
Are These Coloring Pages Suitable for Toddlers?
Absolutely. Many of the designs feature large, simple outlines of the Grinch and Max that are perfect for toddlers developing their fine motor skills. Detailed close-ups and intricate backgrounds are better suited for older children and adults.
How Can I Make the Green Color Pop?
To make the green fur look vibrant, try layering your colors. Start with a light yellow base layer, then color over it with your green crayon or pencil. This technique adds brightness and makes the green look glowing and neon, just like in the movies.
Is the Grinch Always Green?
In the original Dr. Seuss book, the Grinch was actually black and white with pink eyes! He only became green in the 1966 animated TV special. You can encourage your kids to use their imagination and color him any color they want; maybe a blue or purple Grinch is visiting Whoville today.
What Other Characters Can I Find Here?
While the Grinch is the star, you will also find pages featuring his loyal dog, Max (often wearing his fake antler), and Cindy Lou Who. These characters help tell the full story of how the Grinch learned the true meaning of Christmas.
