10 Craft Ideas to do With Bald Eagle Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have filled their Bald Eagle coloring pages with vibrant colors, don't let those masterpieces gather dust! Turn them into exciting, easy, and affordable crafts with these fun ideas.
1. Majestic Mask
Cut out the colored eagle's face and head. Glue it onto a sturdy paper plate or cardstock for reinforcement, then carefully cut eye holes. Punch holes on the sides, attach elastic string, and wear your majestic eagle mask!
2. Soaring Mobile
Carefully cut out several colored eagles, varying their poses if possible. Punch a small hole at the top of each eagle. Tie string to a small dowel or two crossed popsicle sticks, then hang your eagles at different lengths to create a dynamic mobile.
3. Nesting Eagle Diorama
Use a shoebox turned on its side as the habitat. Glue in some real small twigs, crinkled brown paper, or cotton balls to create a nest. Then, carefully cut out and glue your colored eagle into its cozy perch within the diorama.
4. Freedom Flag Collage
Cut out your finished Bald Eagle and set it aside. On a large piece of blue poster board, glue red and white construction paper strips to create the stripes of a flag. Finish by proudly gluing your majestic eagle over the stripes and a few white paper stars.
5. Paper Bag Puppet
Cut out your colored eagle, paying attention to its head and wings. Glue the eagle's body onto the main part of a brown paper bag, aligning the head with the bag's flap. Use pipe cleaners for sturdy talons at the bottom, and put on an eagle show!
6. “Flying” Glider Eagle
Reinforce your cut-out eagle by gluing it onto a slightly heavier piece of cardstock. Attach two small paper wings (from construction paper) to the eagle's back, near the center. Add a paperclip to the underside for balance, then launch your eagle glider!
7. Popsicle Stick Perch
Carefully cut out your colored eagle. Glue the entire eagle onto a wide popsicle stick or two regular popsicle sticks glued together for stability. You can add a small paper “branch” to the stick for the eagle to appear to perch on, creating a stand-up figure.
8. Fish Grab Bookmark
Laminate your cut-out bald eagle for durability, or cover it with clear packing tape. Punch a small hole near the bottom of the eagle. Thread a length of ribbon or string through the hole, and glue a small paper fish cut-out to the end of the ribbon.
9. Tree Branch Wall Art
Find a small, clean twig or branch that can fit on a piece of construction paper or cardstock. Glue the twig onto the paper, resembling a tree branch. Then, cut out your colored bald eagle and glue it onto the branch as if it's perching majestically.
10. Pencil Topper Pal
Cut out a smaller version of your colored eagle, focusing on the head and upper body. Roll a small piece of construction paper into a tight tube that can slip over the top of a pencil, and glue it closed. Then, glue your eagle to this tube to create a fun topper.
