10 Craft Ideas to do With Koala Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant Koala coloring pages are complete, don't let them sit idle! These easy and affordable crafts are perfect for putting your masterpieces to good use.
1. Koala Tree Branch Scene
Cut out your colored koala and glue it onto a piece of blue construction paper, creating a sky background. Next, cut out a brown paper “tree branch” and green “eucalyptus leaves” to glue around your koala, making it look like it's relaxing in its natural habitat.
2. Hugging Koala Bookmark
Carefully cut out your koala, leaving its “arms” slightly extended. Glue the back of the koala onto a piece of sturdy cardstock. Now, you can carefully fold or curl its arms slightly so it looks like your koala is hugging the top of a book page!
3. Koala Headband Mask
Cut out your koala's head, or the entire koala body if you prefer. Glue it onto a strip of poster board or construction paper that has been measured to fit around your head. Secure the ends with tape or glue to create a fun, wearable koala mask or headband.
4. Eucalyptus Leaf Placemats
Cut out several large “eucalyptus leaf” shapes from green poster board or thick construction paper. Glue your cut-out colored koala onto the center of one leaf. For durability, you can cover it with clear contact paper, making a cute placemat for snack time.
5. Koala Popsicle Stick Puppets
Cut out your colored koalas, perhaps trying a few different poses. Glue each koala to the top of a popsicle stick. Use your new koala puppets to put on a show or tell stories about the Australian bush.
6. “Clinging Koala” Wall Art
On a piece of cardboard or heavy construction paper, draw and color a rough tree trunk or glue on some brown paper to create texture. Cut out your colored koala and glue it onto the “trunk,” making it look like it's climbing or clinging to the tree. Add cotton balls for furry texture if you like!
7. Koala Mobile from Twigs
Gather two small, clean twigs and tie them together in a cross shape with string or yarn. Cut out multiple colored koalas and eucalyptus leaves from your pages. Attach each cut-out to varying lengths of string and tie them to the twig cross, creating a charming, hanging koala mobile.
8. Koala Shoebox Habitat
Decorate the inside of a shoebox with construction paper, paint, or crayons to create a eucalyptus forest scene. Cut out your colored koala and glue it onto a pipe cleaner “branch” that you've secured inside the shoebox. This creates a cozy diorama for your koala friend.
9. Koala Story Stones
Find some smooth, flat rocks. Cut out small, detailed koalas from your coloring pages. Glue a koala onto each rock using school glue. Once dry, you can seal them with a layer of Mod Podge or clear nail polish for a durable finish, perfect for storytelling or as desk buddies.
10. Koala “Ear Hugger” Clips
Cut out two identical small koalas or koala heads. Glue them back-to-back around the top of a paperclip or a small wooden clothespeg, leaving the clip part functional. Now your koalas can “hug” onto notes, pictures, or any paper you want to keep together!
