10 Craft Ideas To Do With Duck Coloring Pages
If your youngster has colored lots of pages featuring these birds, put them to good use with these great craft ideas.
1. Create a Unique Scene
For this fun classroom activity, have the students color and cut out the duck and glue it to the center of a plain piece of posterboard, with extra room left at the bottom. In this extra space, the children can create their own “pond.”
Blue pom-poms, tissue paper, yarn, and glitter can be used; the fancier, the better. Green construction paper is perfect to fashion lily pads, toothpicks painted green make great reeds, and tiny paper “frogs” can also be added to create a lifelike ecosystem for the duck!
2. Duck in the Reeds
Start this simple craft with an ordinary shoebox and the duck coloring page. When the duck is colored, it should be glued to cardboard, cut out, and set aside.
Next, wrap green tissue paper around an ordinary cardboard roll to create a “cattail” or reed. Fill the empty shoe box with blue tissue paper, and place the cattail cutout inside.
Finally, the duck cutout should be stuck down into a slit for a 3D version of a duck swimming in its habitat.
3. Make an Easy Duck Mobile
Make this unique mobile by gluing three craft sticks together in a crisscross pattern. Next, have the youngster color three ducks, glue them to cardboard, and cut them out.
Then, the child can draw and cut out some homemade clouds, suns, or lily pads using colored paper. In a staggered pattern, the pond shapes and the duck cutouts should be attached to the craft sticks with yarn for a fun, colorful mobile.
4. Waddling Through the Classroom
This enjoyable classroom activity is perfect for kids of any age. Using blue web paper or a giant piece of poster board, have the youngsters work together to draw a pond or grassy meadow.
Since the theme is ducks, the water can be embellished with fish, bugs, and frogs. Once the youngsters have finished coloring their ducks, they can be cut out and added to the water to create an interesting, colorful poster for the classroom.
5. Funny Luggage Tags
Duck coloring pages can be used to make funny luggage tags. Once the duck is colored, it should be glued to a white poster board.
Next, several luggage tag-size pieces can be cut out, and a name and address can be written on the back. (These can be funny, made-up names.)
For a comical touch, the youngsters should then add, “Just Winging It!” or “Quacking Up!” Seal the tag in contact paper, and use a hole punch and craft chain to create a novelty luggage tag to hang anywhere.
6. Create Toy Binoculars
There must be plenty of ducks to spot out in nature, so let your youngster make a pair of bird-watching binoculars. Using two empty paper towel rolls cut in half and glued side-by-side, have the child laminate them with those colorful duck pages.
Next, let the youngster draw and cut out a “feather.” This can be attached to the side of the binoculars. The child can then sound the warning that there’s a flock ahead!
7. Make a Shoebox Duck Float
This craft is simple and easy for any child. Turn an empty shoe box upside down, and trace and cut out three circles in its top, using an empty paper towel roll to trace the circle.
Then, laminate the sides of the box with cutouts from the finished duck pages. Next, laminate three paper towel rolls with yellow, orange, and white construction paper just like real ducklings. When they are slid into the holes at the top, your youngster has a fun, interactive duck family display.
8. Shaking Tail Feathers
This fun craft can be done in the classroom or individually. Once the duck is colored, it should be glued to thick cardboard and cut out. A hole should be punched at the top for a piece of yellow or orange yarn.
Tiny holes should be made in the bottom near the tail, through which yellow paper streamers or craft feathers can be threaded to depict fluffy tail feathers! The duck can then be hung up, and whenever there’s a breeze, it looks like the feathers are ruffling in the wind.
9. A Change of Scene
Begin this fun craft by having the youngster cut “waves” from blue construction paper, and glue them to posterboard in such a way that something can be slid behind them. This, of course, will be the duck cutout from the coloring page, which can be placed behind the “waves” and secured to a craft stick to act as a handle.
On the back of the cutout, another duck from the printables can be added; only this one depicts the duck upside-down, diving for food! The scene can then be changed by flipping it back and forth using the craft stick.
10. Make a Duck Hat
Children love to wear paper hats, but a colorful duck hat is extra fun. Using any number of simple paper hat templates, the youngsters can fashion a hat from the newspaper.
Parts of the duck coloring page can then be used to embellish the hat. Finally, yellow streamers can be added at strategic places as if it has wings. The youngster can even add an empty bathroom tissue roll laminated with orange construction paper to the front, depicting a funny duck bill.
