10 Craft Ideas to do With Noah'S Ark Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have filled their Noah's Ark coloring pages with vibrant hues, don't let those masterpieces just pile up! Turn them into delightful, easy, and affordable crafts that extend the fun and the story.
1. Ark Animal Diorama
Transform a simple shoebox into Noah's Ark! Decorate the shoebox brown for the ark's hull. Cut out pairs of colored animals from your coloring pages and glue them standing inside the “ark.” You can add blue construction paper waves around the bottom for the water.
2. Rainbow Window Suncatcher
Color a brilliant rainbow and a few small animal pairs. Carefully cut them out, then laminate them or cover both sides with clear contact paper. Punch a small hole at the top of the rainbow and hang it in a sunny window with string for a colorful reminder of God's promise.
3. Two-by-Two Finger Puppets
Have your child color their favorite animal pairs. Cut each animal out carefully, then glue a craft stick to the back of each one to create simple puppets. Alternatively, create paper rings on the back for finger puppets, ready for storytelling and imaginative play.
4. Floating Ark Mobile
Cut out the colored ark, pairs of animals, and fluffy clouds from your pages. Glue them onto sturdy cardstock for durability. Attach blue string or yarn to each piece at varying lengths and tie them to a hanger or a small stick to create a beautiful, “floating” mobile.
5. Dove of Peace Headband
Color the dove carrying an olive branch. Cut out the dove and its branch. Measure and cut a strip of construction paper to fit around your child's head, then glue the dove to the front of the headband. It's a sweet, wearable reminder of the end of the flood.
6. Ark Porthole Coasters
Cut out circular shapes of colorful animals from the coloring pages, imagining them peering out from the Ark's windows. Glue these circles onto cork coasters. Seal them with a layer of Mod Podge for a waterproof finish, creating functional and themed drink holders.
7. Noah's Ark Story Wheel
Draw two large circles on poster board. On the bottom circle, divide it into segments representing the story (rain, animals entering, ark on water, rainbow). On the top circle, cut a viewing window and attach a colored ark or animal. Use a brass fastener to connect them, spinning to reveal different scenes from the story using cut-out elements from your pages.
8. Animal Pair Memory Game
Print and color two copies of several different animal coloring pages. Cut out each animal, then glue them onto small squares of cardstock. Lay all the cards face down and take turns flipping two at a time to find matching animal pairs, just like they entered the Ark.
9. Rainbow Bridge Bookmark
Color a vibrant rainbow and a tiny ark or animal. Cut them out. Glue the rainbow onto a sturdy strip of construction paper or cardstock to create a bookmark base. Add the ark or animal at the bottom or top, perfect for marking your place in a favorite storybook.
10. “Rainy Day” Jar Scene
Cut out a small colored ark and a few animal pairs. Glue them to strips of clear plastic or laminated paper that can stand inside a clean jar. Fill the jar with water, a few drops of blue food coloring, and glitter for a “rainy day” effect. Decorate the outside of the jar with a colored rainbow from your pages.
