10 Craft Ideas to do With Lunch Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant lunch coloring pages are finished and piling up, put them to imaginative use with these easy, affordable crafts!
1. Personalized Lunchbox Makeover
Give an old lunchbox new life! Cut out your favorite colored lunch foods—sandwiches, apples, milk cartons—from your coloring pages. Using craft glue or a glue stick, adhere these festive cut-outs directly onto the outside of a plain lunchbox to create a unique, personalized design.
2. “What's For Lunch?” Spinner Game
On a piece of poster board, draw a circle and divide it into sections. Cut out different colored lunch items (pizza slice, taco, sushi roll) from your pages and glue one into each section. Add a spinner made from a brad and cardstock in the center for a fun game to “choose” your next pretend meal!
3. Picnic Play Mat Scenery
Transform a large sheet of green or blue construction paper into a miniature picnic scene. Cut out vibrant food items like baskets, blankets, fruits, and drinks from your finished coloring pages. Glue them onto your paper “grass” or “sky” to create a cheerful backdrop for play food or small toys.
4. Lunch Bag Puppets
Grab some small paper lunch bags and turn them into playful puppets. Cut out a favorite lunch character—a smiling apple, a winking sandwich, a silly juice box—from your colored pages. Glue the character to the front of the bag, then add eyes, arms, or legs with markers or pipe cleaners for an instant puppet show!
5. Healthy Lunch Mobile
Promote healthy eating with a colorful mobile! Cut out various healthy lunch components (carrots, grapes, whole-wheat bread) from your completed coloring pages. Punch a hole at the top of each, then string them onto yarn or fishing line, tying them to a hanger made from a popsicle stick or pipe cleaner.
6. Reusable Lunch Bag Tags
Create custom tags for lunch bags or backpacks. Cut out a small, fun lunch-themed image from a coloring page, like a cupcake or a milk carton. Glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardstock, then cover both sides with clear contact paper or laminating film for durability. Punch a hole and add a ribbon or string!
7. My Dream Lunch Placemat Collage
Let kids design their ideal meal! Provide a large piece of construction paper and have them cut out every delicious item they can find from their lunch coloring pages. Glue these food cut-outs onto the paper to create a vibrant collage placemat. Cover with clear contact paper to protect their masterpiece from spills.
8. Lunch Memory Matching Game
Make a fun educational game using your finished pages. Cut out pairs of identical lunch items (two bananas, two cheese slices, two cartons of milk) from various coloring pages. Glue each item onto a small, uniform square of cardstock. Lay them face down and take turns flipping to find matching pairs!
9. “Lunch Hero” Chef Hat Embellishments
After creating a simple paper chef's hat from construction paper, personalize it with lunch-themed flair. Cut out small, exciting lunch-related “badges” or pictures—like a superhero sandwich or a sparkling star apple—from your colored pages. Glue them onto the chef hat for a touch of culinary creativity!
10. Play Restaurant Menu & Order Pad
Design a pretend restaurant menu! Fold a piece of construction paper and glue cut-out food items from your coloring pages inside, labeling each with a pretend price. For an order pad, glue smaller food pictures onto separate slips of paper for servers to check off during play.
