Activities to Do With Police Car Coloring Pages
Don’t just color and run! There are plenty of ways to turn these sheets into a full afternoon of play. Here are some fun activity ideas to try with your kids once the coloring is done.
Create a Neighborhood Map
Get a large piece of poster board and draw roads, houses, and stores. Cut out your colored police cars and glue them onto the streets. Your child can create their own “patrol route” and keep their paper city safe.
Design a “Thank You” Card
Police officers work hard to keep our communities safe. Fold a colored page in half to create a card. Have your child write a nice message inside and deliver it to your local police station. It is a great way to teach gratitude and community connection.
Make Stand-Up Paper Patrol Cars
Print the coloring pages on heavy cardstock. Once your child finishes coloring, cut out the cars carefully. Tape a small cardboard triangle to the back of each one so they can stand up on their own. Now you have a fleet of vehicles for tabletop play!
Play Red Light, Green Light
Use the coloring pages as props for a game of “Red Light, Green Light.” When you hold up a coloring page of a police car, the kids have to freeze (Red Light). When you put it down, they can run (Green Light). This reinforces listening skills and adds physical activity to the mix.
Storytime Cop
Encourage your child to invent a backstory for the officer or the car in the picture. Ask questions like “Where are they going?” or “Who are they helping today?” Write down their answers on the back of the page to create a mini-story about their artwork.
FAQs
What Colors Should I Use for Police Cars?
In the United States, police cars are traditionally black and white. However, many modern cruisers are solid white, dark blue, silver, or even dark grey. Encourage your kids to be creative; they can even invent their own city colors using bright neons or stripes!
What Kind of Cars Do Police Officers Drive?
Police departments use high-performance vehicles that are fast and durable. Common models include the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (based on the Explorer), the Dodge Charger Pursuit, and the Chevrolet Tahoe. For highway patrol, you might even see sports cars like Mustangs or Camaros.
Why Do Police Cars Have Sirens and Lights?
The flashing lights and loud sirens are warning signals. They tell other drivers and pedestrians that there is an emergency and that the police officer needs to get through traffic quickly and safely to help someone.
Can I Use Markers or Paint on These Pages?
Absolutely! While crayons and colored pencils are standard, markers make the colors pop. If you want to use watercolors or acrylic paint, we recommend printing the pages on thicker cardstock so the paper does not wrinkle or bleed through.
