10 Craft Ideas to do With Kookaburra Coloring Pages
Once your beautiful Kookaburra coloring pages are complete, don't let them gather dust! These easy, affordable crafts will put your colorful creations to good use.
1. Branch Perch Wall Art
Cut out your colored Kookaburra carefully. Glue it onto a piece of blue construction paper or light poster board. Then, use brown construction paper or even a small twig to create a branch for your Kookaburra to perch on, completing a lovely natural scene for your wall.
2. Laughing Kookaburra Puppet
Mount your finished Kookaburra onto a sturdy popsicle stick or even a recycled paper towel tube. Use extra construction paper to add flapping wings or a wide-open beak for its famous laugh. Now you have a fun puppet for storytelling or imaginative play!
3. Beaky Kookaburra Mask
Cut out your Kookaburra's face and prominent beak from your coloring page. Glue it onto a paper plate with eyeholes cut out, or attach it to a simple headband made from construction paper. You'll be ready to “laugh” like a kookaburra in no time!
4. Soaring Kookaburra Mobile
Color and cut out several Kookaburras in different poses. Attach them with varying lengths of string or yarn to a small coat hanger or two crossed sticks. Hang your mobile in a window or above a bed to watch your Kookaburras “fly” in the breeze.
5. Kookaburra Habitat Diorama
Use a shoebox turned on its side as the base for a Kookaburra habitat. Cut out your colored Kookaburra and glue it inside, surrounded by construction paper trees, branches, and grass. You can even add tiny “prey” items for a realistic touch!
6. Kookaburra “Laugh” Shaker
Cut out your Kookaburra and glue it to a toilet paper roll. Decorate the roll, then seal one end with construction paper and tape. Fill the roll with a handful of dry rice or beans, then seal the other end. Shake your Kookaburra to make a fun, laughing sound!
7. Perching Clothespin Kookaburra
Carefully cut out your Kookaburra. Glue the back of the Kookaburra onto one side of a wooden clothespin. Once dry, you can clip your Kookaburra onto a real branch, a curtain, or even another piece of artwork, making it appear to perch.
8. Kookaburra Story Stone
Cut out a small, prominent Kookaburra image from your coloring page. Glue it onto a smooth, flat stone or a thick piece of cardboard. Seal it with Mod Podge or clear packing tape to create a durable, decorative “story stone” or even a unique coaster.
9. Feathered Friend Art
Cut out the body of your Kookaburra, leaving space around the edges. Glue your Kookaburra onto a piece of cardstock. Then, use craft feathers or even torn bits of colored construction paper to create feathery textures around its body, giving your bird extra dimension.
10. Kookaburra's Catch Plate
Decorate a plain paper plate with a sky background using crayons or paint. Cut out your Kookaburra and glue it onto the plate. Then, draw or cut out small insects, worms, or even a tiny snake from construction paper and glue them near the Kookaburra, depicting its hunt.
