10 Craft Ideas to do With Hammer Coloring Pages

Once those vibrantly colored hammer pages start piling up, don't let them gather dust! These easy and affordable crafts are the perfect way to bring your little builder's artwork to life.

1. Hammer Handle Bookmark

Cut out your favorite colored hammer, focusing on the handle. Glue the cutout firmly onto a sturdy strip of poster board or a large craft stick. You've just created a handy tool-themed bookmark for all your reading adventures.

2. My First Toolbox Display

Transform a small shoebox into a mini toolbox by decorating it with construction paper. Cut out several colored hammers from your pages, and perhaps draw or glue on some “nails” made from pipe cleaners. Glue your hammers inside the box or attach them to cardboard stands to create a fun, personalized toolbox scene.

3. “Building in Progress” Door Hanger

Cut out a colored hammer image and glue it onto a piece of sturdy construction paper or cardstock shaped like a door hanger. Write “Building in Progress” or “Hammer Time!” around it. This lets everyone know when important construction (or quiet play) is happening in your room.

4. Hammer Time Clock

Use a paper plate as the base for a pretend clock. Cut out a colored hammer and glue it in the center, or use it as a decorative element at the 12 o'clock position. Add numbers around the plate and use pipe cleaners or strips of construction paper for the clock hands, securing them with a brad pin for movement.

5. “Nail the Target” Game

Glue a large, colored hammer cutout onto a piece of cardboard or a sturdy paper bag. Draw several target circles around the hammer head, assigning different point values. Use crumpled paper balls or cotton balls to “nail” the targets, making a fun, active game for indoors.

6. Hammer Story Puppets

Carefully cut out a colored hammer from your page. Glue the entire hammer cutout onto a craft stick, a popsicle stick, or even a recycled plastic straw. Now you have a fun hammer puppet ready to help tell construction stories or put on a tool-themed show!

7. Hammer Head Headband

Cut out just the “head” part of a colored hammer, making sure it's fairly large. Glue this hammer head firmly to the center of a strip of construction paper or poster board sized to fit around your child's head. Secure the ends of the strip with tape or glue to create a cool, wearable hammer accessory.

8. Tool Belt Garland

Punch a hole near the top of several different colored hammer cutouts. String these “tools” onto a piece of yarn, ribbon, or even a pipe cleaner, alternating with beads or small construction paper “nails” if desired. Hang your festive tool belt garland to decorate a room, party, or play space.

9. Hammer & Nail Matching Game

Cut out several colored hammers from different pages. For each hammer, draw a corresponding “nail” on a separate small card, or cut out a second identical hammer. Mix up the cards and have kids match the hammers to their nails, or match identical hammers for a fun memory game.

10. DIY Blueprint Placemat

Take a completed colored hammer page and glue it onto a piece of thicker poster board for durability. Cover the entire surface with clear contact paper or laminate it if you have access to a laminator. This turns your artwork into a reusable, wipeable placemat, perfect for your next “construction worker's” meal!
