Once your finished Albatross coloring pages start piling up, transform them into these easy and affordable crafts!
Cut out several albatrosses from your colored pages. Attach them with varying lengths of string or fishing line to a couple of crossed popsicle sticks or a wire hanger. Decorate with blue paper clouds and hang your soaring flock from the ceiling.
Transform a shoebox into an ocean scene by gluing blue construction paper for water and cotton balls for clouds. Cut out your finished albatross and glue it onto a craft stick or pipe cleaner, then insert it into the shoebox base so it appears to be flying over the waves. This creates a wonderful 3D display of its habitat.
Carefully cut out your colored albatross, making sure to include its impressive wingspan. Glue the albatross onto a large sheet of light blue poster board, adding hand-drawn or construction paper clouds and waves to create a dynamic wall display. This craft truly emphasizes its magnificent size.
Cut out your albatross and glue it to the center of a large piece of cardstock. Draw a classic compass rose around it, complete with N, S, E, W directions and cardinal points. This celebrates the albatross's navigational prowess and long journeys at sea.
Cut out a smaller albatross and laminate it with clear packing tape or self-adhesive laminating sheets. Place it inside a clear plastic bottle filled with blue-tinted water, glitter, and a few small plastic “fish” or beads. Seal the bottle securely to create a calming ocean scene you can shake and watch.
Mount your cut-out albatross onto a sturdy piece of lightweight cardboard or foam board. Add small paper weights to the front edge of the wings or belly. Experiment with shaping the wings slightly to create a simple, hand-launched glider that really takes flight.
Glue several cut-out albatrosses onto a large piece of green or sandy-colored felt or construction paper. Draw or glue on “nests” made from brown yarn or small twigs. Use it as a playmat for small plastic animal figures or even smaller albatross cutouts you've made.
Cut out a slim, tall albatross from your coloring page. Glue it onto a strip of blue construction paper, then add a thin yarn or ribbon “flight path” trailing behind it. Laminate with clear tape for durability, perfect for marking your spot in a book about birds or the sea.
Carefully cut out your colored albatross. Place it between two sheets of clear contact paper or clear packing tape to make it translucent and durable. Punch a small hole at the top, thread with string, and hang in a window to let the light shine through your beautiful bird.
Cut out your favorite albatross illustration and glue it securely onto the front cover of a small blank notebook or a folded piece of cardstock stapled to make a booklet. Use this journal to record your own “journeys,” thoughts, or observations of nature, inspired by the albatross's vast travels.
