Activities to Do With Summer Coloring Pages
Don’t just let those coloring pages pile up on the fridge. You can turn your child’s artwork into fun crafts and interactive learning tools. Here are a few creative ways to use these printables.
Create a Summer Storybook
Have your child color five or six different pages. Staple them together along the left edge to create a book. Ask them to write a short story connecting the images, or help them write it down if they are younger. This encourages narrative skills and turns coloring into a literacy activity.
DIY Vacation Postcards
If you are printing these on cardstock, you can turn them into postcards. Have your child color a beach or camping scene, then cut it out. On the back, draw a line down the middle. Write a message to a grandparent or friend on the left and put the address on the right. It is a sweet way to stay in touch during summer break.
Summer Scavenger Hunt
Use the detailed coloring pages, like the sea creature hunt or the garden scene, as a real-life checklist. After coloring the items on the page, head outside or to the beach. See how many of those colored items you can find in the real world. You can even check them off the coloring page as you go.
Custom Party Decorations
Are you hosting a summer barbecue or a pool party? Use the ice cream, fruit, or pineapple pages as decorations. Color them in bright, bold colors and cut them out. You can string them together to make a festive garland or tape them to cups and serving bowls for a custom party theme.
Laminated Placemats
Pick your child’s favorite masterpiece and run it through a laminator. These make durable, wipe-clean placemats for outdoor dinners or messy craft projects. It is a great way to preserve their art while protecting your patio table from spills.
Personalized Travel Journals
Print the “Summer Reading” or “Camping” pages to use as covers for a travel journal. Staple blank lined paper behind the coloring page. Your child can use this notebook to document their summer trips, draw pictures of what they see, or keep track of the books they read over the holiday.
FAQs
How Do I Print These Coloring Pages?
Click on the download button associated with the image you like. It will usually open as a PDF or high-resolution image. From there, select the print icon in your browser or viewer. Ensure your printer is set to “Fit to Page” to keep the edges from getting cut off.
What Is the Best Paper for Coloring Pages?
Standard printer paper works fine for crayons and colored pencils. However, if your child plans to use markers or watercolors, we recommend using cardstock or heavyweight paper. This prevents the ink from bleeding through and keeps the paper from wrinkling.
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 children, a classroom, or a summer camp activity. Please do not resell them or upload the files directly to another website.
Do You Have Coloring Pages for Toddlers?
Absolutely. We have included several pages with simple outlines and large spaces, such as the simple sunflower, beach pail, and cute fruits. These are designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers who are developing their fine motor skills.
Can Adults Color These Pages Too?
Of course! Coloring is a great stress-relief activity for people of all ages. We have included detailed scenes, like the intricate garden and the mandala-style pineapples, which offer a more challenging and relaxing experience for older kids and adults.
How Can I Use These for a Classroom Activity?
These pages are perfect for quiet time, early finishers, or summer-themed art lessons. You can also use them to decorate the classroom bulletin board or as a writing prompt where students describe the summer scene they just colored.
