Once those finished coloring pages start to pile up, don't let them go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts put your colorful microwave masterpieces to practical and playful use.
Cut out your favorite colored microwave and glue it onto a paper plate. Add a construction paper clock face with numbers around the edge of the plate. Use a brad to attach two paper hands, letting kids practice telling time on their very own kitchen timer.
Transform a small cardboard box into a mini microwave! Cut out the front, door, and control panel from your colored microwave pages. Glue them onto the box, leaving the door flap intact if possible. Kids can then “cook” their play food inside their custom appliance.
Decorate a small, clean box (like a tissue box or cereal box) by gluing colored microwave cutouts onto all sides. Inside, place a few jingle bells or dry beans. Shake the box to create a fun “ding” sound, just like a real microwave finishing its cycle!
Carefully cut out small microwave shapes or individual food items from your colored pages. Laminate them using clear contact paper or glue them onto cardstock for durability. Attach a small magnet to the back of each piece to create adorable and functional fridge magnets.
Design a door hanger using sturdy cardstock. Cut out and glue a colored microwave onto the hanger, decorating it with a “timer” set to a specific time. One side can say “Microwave in Use!” while the other can say “Ready to Play!”
Create a simple stand-up recipe card holder. Decorate the front of the holder by gluing on a brightly colored microwave cutout. Write your favorite microwave-safe recipes on index cards and proudly display them in your new, themed holder.
Cut out individual buttons (numbers, “start,” “stop”) from several colored microwave pages. Glue each button onto a craft stick. Use these sticks to practice counting, create number sequences, or even “program” pretend cooking times for fun imaginative play.
Glue a cut-out, colored microwave onto a piece of construction paper or cardstock. Above the microwave, glue cotton balls or shredded tissue paper to represent “steam” rising from a hot meal. Add cut-out food images for a complete picture!
Glue a large colored microwave image onto a piece of poster board. Carefully cut out the “door” section on three sides, leaving one side attached to act as a hinge. Attach a craft stick to the back of the door to open and close it, revealing a “food” puppet inside.
Cut out two identical microwave shapes from your finished coloring pages. Glue them onto two sides of a small, rectangular cardboard box, or glue them back-to-back, leaving the bottom open to create a stand-up “warmer.” Kids can slide small paper cutouts of food inside to “heat up.”
