Activities to Do With Kitten Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. There are plenty of ways to turn these finished sheets into engaging crafts and games. Here are a few creative ideas to try at home.
Create a Kitten Mask
Turn the larger kitten faces into wearable masks. Carefully cut out the face and the eyes, then reinforce the sides with tape. Punch small holes on either side to attach a string or glue a popsicle stick to the bottom for a handheld mask. It is perfect for pretend play or a costume party.
Design Custom Greeting Cards
Shrink the coloring pages down before printing or cut out the colored kittens to paste onto cardstock. Fold the cardstock in half to create a greeting card. These make adorable, personalized birthday cards or “thank you” notes for friends and family.
Host a Paper Puppet Show
Color several different kittens and cut them out carefully. Glue each kitten to a craft stick or a straw. Use an empty shoebox to create a stage, and let your kids put on a show featuring their new feline characters. This encourages storytelling and imaginative play.
Make Homemade Stickers
Print the kitten designs on full-sheet sticker paper. Once colored, cut closely around the outline of the kitten. Now you have custom stickers to decorate notebooks, water bottles, or laptops. If you don’t have sticker paper, you can use clear packing tape to attach them to surfaces.
Assemble a Storybook
Print out 5 to 10 different pages and staple them together to form a book. Have your child color the images and write a short sentence on the back of each page to tell a story. This is a great way to practice writing skills while being creative.
Frame Your Favorites
Some of the detailed kitten portraits are true works of art. Once you or your child finishes a masterpiece, place it in a simple frame. It creates instant, affordable wall art for a bedroom or playroom and boosts your child’s confidence.
