10 Craft Ideas to do With Eggplant Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant eggplant coloring pages are finished and piling up, put them to creative use with these easy and affordable craft ideas!
1. Eggplant Garden Markers
Cut out your colored eggplants, glue each one firmly to a popsicle stick or sturdy twig. Write the word “Eggplant” on the stick, then poke them into your plant pots or garden patch. They make adorable, colorful labels for your real or pretend veggie patch.
2. Eggplant Garland
Carefully cut out several finished eggplant designs. Punch a hole at the top of each cut-out. Thread a long piece of yarn or string through the holes, spacing the eggplants evenly. Hang your festive eggplant garland across a doorway, window, or classroom wall for a touch of garden charm.
3. “Market Basket” Play Prop
Take a small shoebox or cardboard container and cover its sides with construction paper. Cut out a variety of your colored eggplants and glue them all around the outside of the box, making it look like a basket overflowing with fresh produce. Now you have a fun prop for pretend play at your very own market stand!
4. Eggplant Stick Puppets
Cut out your most expressive colored eggplants. Glue each one securely to the top of a craft stick or unsharpened pencil. Once dry, these fun puppets are ready for a grand show or story time about a garden adventure!
5. Eggplant Recipe Book Cover
Choose your favorite colored eggplant page and trim it to fit the front of a plain notebook. Glue the coloring page neatly onto the notebook cover. You can add a clear layer of contact paper over it for durability, creating a unique and personalized recipe book for your favorite dishes.
6. Eggplant Mobile
Cut out several different-sized colored eggplants. Tie varying lengths of string to a lightweight stick, cardboard tube, or even a wire hanger. Attach one eggplant to the end of each string with glue or tape, ensuring they hang freely. Suspend your delightful eggplant mobile from the ceiling for a charming garden-themed decoration.
7. Eggplant Place Mat
Select a fully colored eggplant page that you love. Glue it onto a piece of poster board or stiff cardstock, trimming any excess. To protect your place mat from spills, cover it completely with clear contact paper or laminate it. Now you have a personalized mat for snack time or meals.
8. Eggplant “Welcome” Sign
Take a piece of sturdy poster board or cardboard as your base. Cut out a few of your best colored eggplants and arrange them around the edges. Use construction paper or a marker to write “Welcome to our Garden” or “Fresh Eggplants!” in the center. Hang your charming sign on a door or wall.
9. Eggplant Headband or Crown
Cut a long strip of construction paper that fits around your head like a band, then secure it with tape or glue. Cut out several of your finished colored eggplants. Glue the eggplant cut-outs all around the paper band, creating a fun and wearable garden-themed accessory.
10. “Grow Your Own” Eggplant Seed Packet Envelopes
Decorate small paper envelopes (like coin envelopes or those made from folded paper) by gluing a cutout colored eggplant onto the front of each one. You can write “Eggplant Seeds” on the envelope. These are perfect for pretend play, holding tiny treasures, or as unique gift tags!
