10 Craft Ideas to do With Jar Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have filled countless pages, don't let those beautiful Jar coloring pages gather dust! These easy, affordable crafts are the perfect way to bring their artwork to life and keep the fun going.
1. Jar Bank Buddy
Transform a plain cardboard tube (like from paper towels) or an empty tin can into a fun money bank. Cut out a decorated jar from a coloring page, glue it around your chosen container, and cut a slot in the top or lid for coins. Add construction paper details for eyes and a mouth to give your Jar Bank some personality!
2. Jar Character Puppet
Cut out a large, colorful jar from your finished coloring page. Secure a popsicle stick or a twisted pipe cleaner to the back with tape or glue as a handle. Add googly eyes, yarn hair, or even pipe cleaner arms to create a unique jar character for imaginative play.
3. “What's In My Jar?” Collage
Get a large sheet of poster board and draw or cut out a giant jar shape. Have your child cut out several smaller jar images from their coloring pages. Inside the big jar, glue these smaller jars along with drawings or cut-outs of things they'd store, like wishes, dreams, or favorite candies.
4. Jar Suncatcher Window Art
Carefully cut out a jar shape from a colored page. Cover both sides with clear contact paper or laminate it for durability. You can also glue small pieces of colorful tissue paper to the back before laminating to create a “stained glass” effect. Punch a hole at the top and hang it in a window with string.
5. Festive Jar Garland
Cut out several different jar shapes from a collection of finished coloring pages. Punch two holes near the top of each jar and thread a long piece of yarn or ribbon through them. Hang your colorful jar garland across a doorway, window, or along a wall for a cheerful decoration.
6. Personalized Jar Pendant
Cut out a small, detailed jar from a coloring page. Glue it onto a piece of thin cardboard (like from a cereal box) for extra stiffness, then trim around the edges. Laminate or cover with clear tape for protection, punch a hole at the top, and string it onto a piece of yarn or a pipe cleaner to wear as a unique necklace.
7. Jar Memory Match Game
Cut out at least five identical jar shapes from your coloring pages, making sure you have two of each design (or color them similarly). On the inside of each pair, draw or glue a small matching picture, like a star, a flower, or a heart. Flip them face down and play a classic memory matching game!
8. Jar Storage Box Decoration
Revamp an old shoe box or cereal box into a decorative storage container. Cut out multiple jar shapes from your coloring pages and glue them all over the outside of the box, overlapping them or creating a fun pattern. Use it to store small toys, art supplies, or more coloring pages!
9. Jar Story Wheel
Cut out a large jar shape with a “window” opening in the middle from one of your colored pages. Cut out a separate, slightly larger circle from construction paper, dividing it into sections for different simple story elements or feelings. Attach the jar on top of the circle with a brad in the center, so turning the wheel reveals different scenes or emotions inside the jar.
10. “Message in a Jar” Stand-Up Display
Cut out a large jar shape from your coloring page and glue it onto a piece of folded construction paper or cardstock to create a stand. Write a special message, a poem, or a list of things you're grateful for on another piece of paper and glue it “inside” the jar. This makes a lovely, personalized display for your desk or shelf.
