10 Craft Ideas to do With Calculator Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant calculator coloring pages are complete, don't let them gather dust! Turn them into exciting projects with these easy and affordable craft ideas.
1. Calculator Coasters
Cut out your favorite colored calculator designs from the pages. Glue them onto squares of stiff cardboard or thin corkboard. For durability, cover them with clear contact paper or a layer of Mod Podge. These make unique drink coasters perfect for a math-themed desk!
2. Numeric Display Garland
Carefully cut out several individual calculator shapes, or just the number displays, from your colored pages. Punch a hole at the top corners of each cutout. String them together with yarn or string to create a fun, educational garland to decorate a classroom or study space.
3. Calculator Robot Puppet
Glue one of your colored calculator pages onto a small cardboard box, making it the robot's “torso” or “brain.” Add pipe cleaner arms and legs, googly eyes, and maybe an antenna made from a bent paperclip. You've created a friendly robot ready to help with any calculation!
4. Pressable Number Board
Mount a fully colored calculator page onto a piece of poster board. Using craft foam or construction paper, cut out individual “buttons” (numbers and operations) and glue them *over* the corresponding areas on the colored page. This creates a tactile, pressable learning board for young children to practice number recognition.
5. Math Whiz Headband
Cut out a prominent, bold calculator design from one of your finished pages. Glue it onto a strip of construction paper or cardstock that fits around your head. Secure the ends with tape or a stapler to create a “thinking cap” perfect for a math enthusiast's costume or a classroom reward.
6. Pop-Up Equation Card
Fold a piece of cardstock in half for your card base. Cut out a vibrant, colored calculator image from your pages. Create simple pop-up tabs inside the card and attach the calculator, so it “pops” out when opened. Add a math-themed message like “Hope your day adds up to fun!”
7. Numeric Bookmarks
Cut several long, thin strips from your colored calculator pages, focusing on interesting button arrays or screen designs. Glue these strips onto slightly wider pieces of cardstock for rigidity. Punch a hole at the top and add a tassel made from yarn for a personalized bookmark.
8. Vintage Calc Display Art
Choose a particularly well-colored calculator page. Mount it onto a contrasting piece of construction paper or a small canvas. Embellish the border with pipe cleaners, sequins, or even mini googly eyes. This creates a fun, retro-inspired piece of wall art for a kid's room or office.
9. Cut-Up Calculator Puzzle
Take a fully colored calculator page and glue it onto a piece of sturdy cardboard. Once the glue is dry, use scissors to cut the entire image into unique puzzle pieces. Mix them up and challenge friends or family to reassemble the calculator!
10. Collaborative Giant Calculator
On a large sheet of poster board, draw an outline of a giant calculator. Have each student color a small calculator page or individual numbers/operations. Cut these out and collaboratively glue them onto the poster board outline to create a massive, colorful calculator display, perfect for a classroom wall.
