10 Craft Ideas to do With Joseph Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have filled every page with vibrant colors, don't let those masterpieces gather dust! These easy and affordable crafts put those finished Joseph coloring pages to creative use.
1. Coat of Many Colors Mural
Cut out various Joseph figures from the finished coloring pages. On a large piece of poster board, draw or cut a large coat shape. Glue the Joseph figures and strips of different colored construction paper onto the coat to create a vibrant mosaic mural, celebrating Joseph's famous garment.
2. Dream Decoder Scroll
Cut out Joseph, his brothers, sun, moon, stars, and sheaves from the coloring pages. Glue a long strip of brown paper (like from a paper bag) onto two popsicle sticks to create a scroll. Arrange and glue the cut-out figures along the paper strip to illustrate Joseph's dreams unfolding.
3. Pharaoh's Court Stick Puppets
Carefully cut out Joseph in different stages (as a shepherd, in the pit, as a ruler) and other characters like Pharaoh or his brothers from your coloring pages. Glue each cut-out character to a separate popsicle stick or craft stick. Now you have a set of Joseph story puppets for imaginative play!
4. Egyptian Grain Storehouse Boxes
Collect small cardboard boxes (like tissue or cereal boxes). Cover them with construction paper to resemble ancient Egyptian storehouses. Cut out images of Joseph (especially as a ruler) and grain imagery from your coloring pages and glue them onto the sides of your boxes, reminding us of Joseph's wisdom in storing grain.
5. Joseph's Journey Mobile
Punch holes in several cut-out figures representing different scenes from Joseph's life (Joseph with sheep, in the pit, in prison, riding a chariot) from your coloring pages. Tie each figure with a piece of string to a crossed hanger or two sturdy sticks. Hang it up to visualize his incredible journey.
6. “Pit to Palace” Accordion Book
Fold a long strip of construction paper into an accordion shape. On one side, use cut-outs from your coloring pages to depict Joseph in the pit and prison. On the other side, show his rise to power in Pharaoh's palace. This book beautifully illustrates his transformation.
7. Joseph's Dream Stars Garland
Cut out star shapes from your coloring pages, or glue small cut-out images of Joseph and his family onto pre-cut paper stars. Punch a hole in each star and thread them onto a long piece of yarn or string. Hang your twinkling garland to remember Joseph's prophetic dreams.
8. Pharaoh's Royal Ring or Scepter
Cut a thin strip from a Joseph coloring page. Measure it to fit around a child's finger or a toilet paper roll ‘scepter base'. Decorate with construction paper, glue, and perhaps some craft gems, then glue on a small cut-out of Joseph as a ruler. This makes a fun prop to reenact his authority.
9. Baskets of Grain Story Scene
Use a shoebox lid or small container as the base for a diorama. Cut out Joseph and small ‘grain sacks' from your coloring pages. Glue them into the box along with construction paper backgrounds to create a scene showing Joseph overseeing the storing of grain during the years of plenty.
10. Joseph's Coat Bookmark
Cut a long strip of cardstock for the bookmark base. Cut small, varied strips or shapes from different sections of your colored Joseph pages, creating a “coat of many colors” effect. Glue these onto the cardstock strip, making a unique and functional bookmark that celebrates Joseph's famous gift.
