Once your masterpieces of colored bowls are complete, don't let them gather dust! These easy and affordable crafts put those vibrant pages to good use.
Cut out several of your beautifully colored bowls. Punch a small hole at the top of each, then string them with yarn or fishing line to varying lengths. Tie these strings to a crossed pair of popsicle sticks or a wire hanger to create a charming, spinning bowl mobile for your room.
Carefully cut out your favorite colored bowl images. Glue each cutout onto a sturdy piece of cardboard (like from a cereal box) or cork, trimming any excess. To protect your new coasters, cover them with clear contact paper or a layer of Mod Podge once dry, ready for your next drink.
Cut out several distinct colored bowls. On the back of each, draw or write a different item that could go inside (e.g., “soup,” “cereal,” “fruit,” “pet food”). Use these cards to spark imaginative storytelling or as a fun matching game, encouraging kids to describe what goes in their “bowl.”
Gather a collection of your brightest colored bowls and cut them out. Punch two holes near the top rim of each bowl. Thread a long piece of yarn or ribbon through the holes, alternating the direction for a festive display, perfect for decorating a kitchen or party space.
Cut out one of your colored bowls. Score and fold a small tab at the bottom, or glue it to a small cardboard tube or a folded piece of construction paper to make it stand upright. Now you have a three-dimensional bowl that you can fill with small real items like pom-poms, beads, or even tiny paper “fruit.”
Select your favorite colored bowl page. Glue it onto a larger piece of construction paper or poster board, leaving a border. Use crayons, markers, or even pipe cleaner pieces to decorate *around* the bowl, perhaps drawing what delicious meal or snack you'd love to see served inside it.
Glue a finished, colored bowl page onto a piece of thin cardboard (like from a cereal box or a file folder). Once dry, carefully cut out the entire bowl shape. Then, cut that bowl shape into 3-5 large, distinctive puzzle pieces for a simple, custom-made bowl puzzle.
Cut out a large colored bowl image. Glue it onto a plain piece of construction paper. Around the bowl, draw or write different emotions (happy, sad, calm, excited). Kids can then use small cut-out “pebbles” or “marbles” (made from construction paper) to place *into* the bowl to show how they are feeling that day.
Cut out several colored bowls from your pages. Glue each one onto a small, shallow paper plate or the bottom of a clean, recycled yogurt cup. These now become custom play “bowls” for a toy kitchen, tea party, or any imaginative food play scenario.
Print and color several bowl pages, ensuring some bowls are visibly different in size (small, medium, large). Cut them out and label them if desired. Use these bowls for a fun sorting activity, having children place different small objects (like buttons or cotton balls) into the bowl that best matches their size category.
