10 Craft Ideas to do With Bible Coloring Pages
Once your collection of beautifully colored Bible pages starts to grow, don't let them gather dust! Turn your artwork into meaningful keepsakes and engaging projects with these easy, affordable craft ideas.
1. Bible Story Cubes
Cut out six distinct Bible story scenes or characters from your colored pages. Glue each picture onto one side of a cardboard cube (you can make one from a cereal box). Roll the cubes to mix and match characters or stories, then retell the narratives in new and exciting ways.
2. Scripture Memory Bookmarks
Trim your favorite verses or small character illustrations from colored pages into bookmark-sized strips. Glue them onto sturdy cardstock for durability. For extra protection, cover with clear packing tape or laminate, then punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon through it for a thoughtful gift or personal Bible accessory.
3. Noah's Ark Animal Mobile
Cut out pairs of animals from your finished Noah's Ark themed coloring pages. Create a simple ark shape from construction paper. Suspend the animal pairs with string from crossed popsicle sticks or a wire hanger, with the ark piece in the center, to craft a charming mobile for a nursery or classroom.
4. Joseph's “Coat of Many Colors” Collage
Gather many different colored and patterned scraps from various Bible coloring pages. Cut these scraps into small, varied shapes. Glue them all over a larger piece of poster board cut into the shape of a tunic, creating a vibrant, multi-textured “coat of many colors” collage that tells Joseph's story.
5. “Be a Light” Lanterns
Cut strips or small images from pages depicting inspiring Bible scenes or characters (like the Good Shepherd or Jesus teaching). Glue these onto clear plastic sheets (like from product packaging) to create “windows” for a simple paper lantern frame constructed from cardstock. Place an LED tea light inside to illuminate the inspiring scenes, reminding us to “be a light.”
6. Parable Puppets
Choose individual characters or objects from coloring pages that relate to a specific Bible parable, such as the Prodigal Son or the Sower. Cut them out and glue each one to a popsicle stick. Use your new puppets to act out the parable, bringing the stories to life for children.
7. Exodus Pillar of Cloud/Fire Mural
On a large sheet of butcher paper or poster board, draw a desert scene representing the Israelites' journey. Cut out white, grey, and flame-colored shapes from your colored pages to represent the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. Glue these onto the mural, illustrating God's guidance during the Exodus.
8. Daniel in the Lion's Den Diorama
Find coloring page cut-outs of Daniel and several lions. Use a shoebox turned on its side for the “den.” Glue brown construction paper for the cave walls. Mount Daniel and the lions inside the box using cardboard tabs or small sticks to make them stand up, creating a dramatic 3D scene.
9. Creation Story Wheel
Cut out images representing each day of creation from your colored pages. Glue them in order around a large paper plate. In the center, attach a smaller paper plate or cardstock arrow with a brad fastener. Spin the arrow to review the days of creation, making learning interactive.
10. Crown of Thorns Remembrance Wreath
Cut a ring from a paper plate or cardboard. Twist brown construction paper strips around it to create a thorny appearance. Cut out a small image of Jesus or a cross from a colored page and glue it to the center or top of the wreath. Weave in red yarn or fabric strips to symbolize sacrifice, creating a poignant decoration for reflection.
