Activities to Do With Parrot Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. These sheets can be the start of a whole afternoon of jungle-themed play!
Create a 3D Tropical Mobile
Cut out your colored parrots carefully. Poke a small hole at the top of each bird and thread a piece of yarn through it. Tie the strings to a clothes hanger or two crossed sticks to create a fluttering mobile that brings the rainforest into your child’s bedroom.
DIY Parrot Masks
Print the larger parrot faces on cardstock. After coloring, help your child cut out the bird’s head and carefuly cut out holes for the eyes. Attach a popsicle stick to the bottom or use an elastic string, and let them pretend to be a colorful macaw or a cheeky cockatoo.
Feather Texture Art
Instead of just using crayons, get crafty with textures. Use glue to stick real craft feathers onto the wings of the parrot coloring pages. This adds a fun sensory element and makes the artwork pop off the page (literally!).
Jungle Storytelling
Use the pages as story prompts. Ask your child to color a scene and then tell you what the bird is doing. Is the parrot looking for treasure? Is it hiding from a storm? Write their story down on the back of the page to keep as a memory.
Educational Flashcards
If you are learning about different bird species, shrink the printing size to fit four pages on one sheet. Color them in accurately, green for Amazon parrots, grey and red for African Greys, and use them as flashcards to learn the names and habitats of each bird.
FAQs
What Are The Most Common Colors For Parrots?
Most people think of bright red, blue, and yellow Macaws, but parrots come in many shades. Amazon parrots are mostly green, African Greys are grey with red tails, and Cockatoos can be white, pink, or black. Encourage your kids to use any colors they like!
What Is The Best Paper To Use For Coloring Pages?
Standard printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. However, if your child wants to use markers or watercolor paints, it is better to print these designs on cardstock or heavy mixed-media paper to prevent bleeding.
Are Toucans Parrots?
No, toucans are not parrots! They belong to a different family of birds called Ramphastidae. However, they live in the same tropical rainforests as many parrots, which is why you often see them grouped together in coloring books.
How Can Coloring Help My Child’s Development?
Coloring is excellent for building fine motor skills. Holding the crayon helps with grip strength, and staying inside the lines improves hand-eye coordination. It is also a calming activity that helps children focus and relax.
Can I Use These Pages For A Classroom Project?
Absolutely. These free printables are great for school units on birds, rainforests, or tropical climates. You can print as many copies as you need for your students.
