10 Craft Ideas To Do With Dr Seuss Coloring Pages
Dr. Seuss is famous far and wide, and coloring pages featuring Dr. Seuss’s characters have remained popular for decades.
Try these engaging and affordable crafts with all those finished pages.
1. One Fish, Two Fish
Virtually all youngsters love One Fish, Two Fish, and if your child has colored out lots of fish, provide a corresponding number of popsicle sticks.
The fish should be carefully sealed in contact paper and glued to the tops of the sticks with invisible glue.
Spray paint an ordinary square of styrofoam blue, and have the youngster push the sticks into the top for a unique and original decoration.
2. Make a Grinch Christmas Ornament
If Mr. Grinch is your youngster’s favorite Dr. Seuss character, have him or her cut the character from the page with the feet and hands separate from the body.
Using green or red construction paper, have the youngster make four short paper chains, about three links in length.
Use these to make Mr. Grinch’s arms and legs long and floppy. Add a tiny craft jingle Bell to his hat and mean wiggle eyes to his face.
Hang this adorable ornament on a Christmas tree or anywhere!
3. Make Board Game Pieces
All Dr. Seuss coloring pages work for this craft, and it’s simple and easy. If your child has board games with missing pieces, new ones can be made from the finished pages.
Have the youngster cut a thin piece of corkboard into small rectangles, making a slit at the top of each one.
Then, the various coloring pages can be glued to thin cardboard, cut into small shapes, and sealed in contact paper.
When these cutouts are tucked into the slits of the corkboard pieces, your youngster has stand-up board game pieces to use with any game.
4. Classroom Fun With Dr. Seuss
To begin this craft, have each youngster write his or her name on a strip of red or white construction paper.
Then, cut a giant circle from the white poster board. Add wiggle eyes, pipe cleaner whiskers, and a pink pom-pom to the plate’s center to depict the famous Cat in the Hat.
When the youngsters have cut the characters from their finished pages, glue them in a vertical line from the paper plate’s base, as the cat’s scarf.
Use the red and white strips with the youngster’s names to create the famous hat and display this interesting artwork anywhere in the classroom.
5. Truffula Tree Abstract Art
To make an original piece of artwork, have the youngsters color pages featuring truculent trees from The Lorax.
When they’re cut out, embellish them with tissue paper or cotton coated with colored glitter.
Next, have the youngsters draw a dartboard on white cardstock and arrange the “truculent trees” in a circle around it.
Display this zany, modern art anywhere!
6. Decal a Bicycle
Dr. Seuss’s coloring pages are perfect for decorating an old bicycle.
They can be glued to any part of the bike’s frame, using whatever pattern the child chooses.
The youngster can pick a specific theme, such as The Lorax and I or Sam I Am, or the child can use any characters at random.
Just make sure to seal the work with several coats of acrylic spray!
7. Dr. Seuss
Start this fun craft by having the youngster hollow out an ordinary paper plate so that just the rim remains.
A long rectangle should be cut from a white poster board and stapled to the top rim of the plate to look like a tall hat.
Decorate the rectangle with cutouts from various Dr. Seuss coloring pages, and glue a long craft stick or knitting needle to the rim’s base.
Your child can hold it up to frame his or her face, and it looks like the youngster is wearing a tall hat decorated with Dr. Seuss characters!
