10 Craft Ideas to do With Airport Coloring Pages
Once those finished airport coloring pages pile up, don't let them gather dust! These easy, affordable crafts put them to creative use.
1. Mini Airport Diorama
Transform a shoebox into a bustling miniature airport! Cut out airplanes, terminal buildings, and baggage carts from your colored pages. Glue them inside the shoebox, arranging them on the “runway” or at the “gates.” Add cotton balls for clouds or bits of green construction paper for grass.
2. Airplane Window View Art
Create a stunning “view from the window” art piece. Cut an airplane silhouette from dark construction paper, then cut out several rectangular “windows” along its side. Glue scenic airport elements like runways, clouds, or other planes from your coloring pages behind the window cutouts to simulate a view during flight.
3. DIY Travel Passport Cover
Craft a personalized passport for future adventures! Fold a piece of cardstock in half to create a cover. Cut out small, colorful passport stamps, world maps, or tiny plane illustrations from your coloring pages and glue them onto the front. Write “My Passport” or “Travel Document” with markers.
4. Stand-Up Control Tower
Bring the airport's central command to life! Cut out a control tower from your colored pages. Glue it onto a sturdier piece of cardboard or attach popsicle sticks to the back for support. Create a small base from folded cardstock so it can stand upright on its own, and add a pipe cleaner antenna to the top.
5. Pilot or Flight Attendant Visor
Get ready for takeoff with a custom visor! Use a paper plate (cut into a visor shape) or a strip of cardstock as the base. Decorate it by gluing cut-out badges, tiny airplane symbols, or uniform elements from your airport coloring pages. Secure with an elastic string for a wearable hat.
6. “Arrivals & Departures” Board
Design your own airport information board. Take a large piece of black poster board and title it “Arrivals & Departures.” Cut out various small rectangles from your colored pages featuring different planes, gates, or luggage elements. Arrange and glue them onto the board to simulate an active airport display.
7. Personalized Luggage Tags
Create unique tags for your imaginary luggage. Cut out small, distinctive shapes like suitcases, airplanes, or destination icons from your colored pages. Laminate them (or cover with clear contact paper) for durability, punch a hole, and attach a piece of string or ribbon. Write your name on the back!
8. Runway Play Mat
Construct an interactive play area for small toy planes. Glue large sections of colored airport runway pages onto a big piece of poster board or butcher paper. Connect the runway sections and add terminal buildings or hangars cut from other pages around the edges. Kids can then use toy planes for imaginative play.
9. Spinning Propeller Plane Toy
Make a plane that truly takes flight (in your imagination)! Cut out a plane body from your colored pages and glue it onto stiff cardstock. Attach a small cut-out “propeller” (also from a coloring page, or just paper) to the nose using a brad, so it can spin. Add cotton ball clouds around your flying plane.
10. Airport Signage Garland
Decorate a room with an airport-themed garland. Cut out various airport signs from your colored pages, such as “Gate 5,” “Baggage Claim,” “Security Check,” or “Runway Ahead.” Glue each sign onto a piece of cardstock for rigidity, punch a hole in the top corners, and string them together with yarn or ribbon.
