Activities to Do With Spring Coloring Pages
Don’t just color and toss the paper away. You can turn these printables into engaging crafts and learning activities. Here are a few creative ideas to try with your kids.
Create a Paper Garden
After your child colors the flowers, bunnies, and bugs, help them cut out the shapes. Glue the cutouts onto popsicle sticks. You can “plant” these sticks in a small pot of dirt or playdough to create an indoor spring garden that never wilts.
Make DIY Greeting Cards
Spring is a great time to send warm wishes to grandparents or friends. Use the printer settings to print the coloring pages at 50% scale. Once colored, cut them out and paste them onto folded cardstock. Add some glitter for extra sparkle.
Springtime Scavenger Hunt
Coloring can be an outdoor adventure. Take the “Spring Farm Visit” or “Spring Blossoms” page outside. Have your child try to find items in real nature that match what is on their coloring sheet. It is a great way to combine art with fresh air.
Window Sun Catchers
For this activity, print the simpler designs on standard paper. After coloring with markers (which saturate the paper well), lightly brush the back of the paper with vegetable oil. Let it dry. The paper will become translucent. Tape it to a sunny window to let the light shine through the colors.
Storytelling Starters
Use a detailed scene, like the “Rainy Spring Day” or “Princess Spring Scene,” as a prompt. Ask your child to color the page and then tell you a story about what is happening. Who are the characters? Where are they going? This boosts vocabulary and creative thinking.
Custom Wrapping Paper
If you have a spring birthday coming up, print out several pattern-style pages (like the mandalas or flowers). Tape them together after your child colors them to create unique, eco-friendly wrapping paper for small gifts.
FAQs
What Supplies Are Best for These Coloring Pages?
Crayons are excellent for toddlers and preschoolers because they are durable. For the more detailed pages, such as the mandalas or landscapes, colored pencils or fine-tip markers work best to stay within the lines.
How Can I Print These Pages?
Simply click on the image or the download button associated with the coloring page you want. It will open a PDF or image file on your device. From there, select “Print” from your browser or file menu.
Are These Coloring Pages Free to Use?
Yes, these coloring pages are free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you need for your home, classroom, or library activity hour.
Do Coloring Pages Help With Child Development?
Absolutely. Coloring helps children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and focus. It also provides a calming activity that allows them to express creativity and recognize colors.
Can I Use Paint Instead of Crayons?
Yes, you can use watercolors or finger paints. However, standard printer paper might wrinkle when wet. If you plan to use paint, we recommend printing on cardstock or heavier paper to prevent bleed-through.
What Ages Are These Pages Suitable For?
We have a wide variety of designs suitable for all ages. Simple shapes and large outlines are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, while intricate mandalas and landscapes engage older children and even adults.
