Activities to Do With Ninja Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can use these sheets to spark creative play and stealthy games. Here are some exciting ideas to keep your little warriors entertained.
Create a Ninja Mask
Turn a coloring page into a wearable disguise. Have your child color their favorite character face, then carefully cut it out. Cut holes for the eyes and punch small holes on the sides. Thread a string or elastic band through the sides. Now they are ready for a stealth mission around the living room.
Design a Comic Strip
Use the action-pose pages to tell a story. Glue the colored ninjas onto a larger piece of poster board. Draw speech bubbles and sound effects like “HI-YAH!” or “SWISH!” This helps kids practice writing skills while building their own adventure.
Ninja Star Target Practice
After coloring the ninjas, tape the pages to a wall at different heights. Make origami shurikens (ninja stars) out of construction paper. Have the kids stand back and try to hit the “villains” or specific targets on the wall with their paper stars. It is a safe and fun way to practice aim.
Popsicle Stick Puppets
Cut out the colored ninjas and glue them to sturdy cardstock. Tape a popsicle stick to the back of each character. Your child can now put on a puppet show from behind the sofa. This is great for storytelling and imaginative play.
Write a Secret Mission
Ninjas are known for carrying scrolls with secret messages. Have your child write a fictional “mission” on the back of their coloring page. They can describe who the ninja is fighting, what treasure they are protecting, or where they are hiding.
FAQs
What Colors Should I Use for Ninjas?
Traditionally, ninjas are depicted in black or dark blue clothing to blend into the shadows. However, modern cartoons like Ninjago use bright colors like red, blue, green, white, and gold to distinguish characters. Let your child choose their favorite palette!
What Is a Ninja’s Sword Called?
The primary sword used by a ninja is called a katana. They might also use a shorter sword called a wakizashi. These blades were often used for defense and clearing obstacles during missions.
What Are Ninja Stars Called?
The star-shaped throwing weapons often seen in movies are called shuriken. In Japanese, “shuriken” translates to “hidden hand blade.” They came in many shapes, including stars, spikes, and needles.
Were Ninjas Real?
Yes, ninjas were real people in feudal Japan. They were known as “shinobi” and acted as spies, scouts, and covert agents. Unlike the samurai who fought openly, ninjas specialized in stealth and secrecy.
What Is the Best Paper for Coloring These Pages?
For standard crayons and colored pencils, regular printer paper works fine. If your child wants to use markers or watercolors, we recommend printing on cardstock. This prevents the ink from bleeding through and keeps the paper from crinkling.
