10 Craft Ideas to do With Three Wise Men Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages pile up, don't let their journey end there! These easy, affordable crafts put your colorful creations to excellent use.
1. Wise Men Wand Puppets
Cut out your favorite wise men and camel figures from the colored pages. Glue each cutout to a sturdy popsicle stick or a craft stick. Now you have fun puppets ready for imaginative storytelling or a small play!
2. Guiding Star Mobile
Cut out the Wise Men, their camels, and especially a big guiding star from your finished pages. Punch a hole in the top of each cutout and tie a string through it. Attach these strings to a crossed pair of sticks or a paper plate base to create a celestial mobile.
3. Treasures for the Tree
Find small, empty boxes (like jewelry boxes or matchboxes). Cut out small images of the wise men, their gifts, or stars from your coloring pages. Glue these onto the sides of the boxes, then add glitter or metallic markers for a regal touch. Punch a hole and add a string to hang them as unique ornaments.
4. Wise Men Royal Crowns
Cut a long strip of construction paper to fit around a child's head, then staple or glue it into a crown shape. Cut out small Wise Men figures, stars, or even “jewels” from your colored pages. Glue these royal embellishments onto the paper crown to wear as you tell the story.
5. Desert Journey Diorama
Line a shoebox with brown construction paper or sand for a desert floor. Cut out your colored Wise Men, camels, and a large guiding star. Stand the figures up with small paper stands or glue them to popsicle stick bases, positioning the star in the background to show their epic journey.
6. Follow the Star Game Board
On a large piece of poster board, draw a winding path from one end to the other, marking “start” and “finish” points. Cut out small Wise Men figures from your colored pages to use as game pieces. Players can roll a die or spin a spinner to move their wise man along the path, following the star to Baby Jesus.
7. Scented Gift Sachets
Get small fabric bags or sew simple pouches from scrap cloth. Cut out small, decorative portions of your Wise Men coloring pages, like a gift box or a wise man's face. Glue these onto the outside of the sachets, then fill them with aromatic spices like cloves, cinnamon, or potpourri, representing the precious gifts.
8. Golden Gift Scrolls
Cut out rectangular sections from your colored pages that feature a wise man, a gift, or a star. Roll each section tightly into a scroll and tie it with a golden ribbon or twine. These can be used as unique decorations, party invitations, or small gifts, evoking ancient treasures.
9. Journey to Bethlehem Mural
Get a long roll of butcher paper or tape several large sheets of construction paper together to create a large mural backdrop. Have kids cut out all their colored Wise Men, camels, and stars. Glue these figures onto the mural, creating a collaborative scene depicting the wise men's long journey across the desert, following the star.
10. Starry Night Lantern
Clean an empty glass jar. Cut out silhouettes or detailed figures of the Wise Men, camels, and stars from your colored pages. Glue these cutouts to the outside of the jar, arranging them to create a scene. Place an LED tea light inside for a magical glow, illuminating their path to Bethlehem.
