10 Craft Ideas to do With Queen Esther Coloring Pages
Once your children have colored their Queen Esther pages beautifully, don't let those masterpieces pile up! These easy and affordable crafts put those finished pages to use, bringing the story to life.
1. Esther's Royal Crown
Transform a simple construction paper band into a queenly crown. Cut out a colored image of Esther or a royal emblem from your coloring page and glue it to the front of your pre-cut and stapled paper crown. Add glitter, sequins, or drawn jewels for extra sparkle, fit for a queen!
2. Palace Scene Diorama
Create a mini palace setting in a shoebox. Cut out various characters like Queen Esther, King Xerxes, or even Haman from your colored pages. Glue a craft stick or pipe cleaner to the back of each character to help them stand upright, then arrange them within your shoebox scene with a colorful paper background.
3. Courageous Queen Scroll
Commemorate Esther's bravery with a decorative scroll. Glue a colored image of Esther onto a piece of construction paper, then attach two popsicle sticks to the top and bottom edges with glue, allowing them to roll up the paper. You can even write a favorite verse about courage or Queen Esther's decree on the scroll itself.
4. Persian Tapestry Wall Hanging
Design a vibrant wall hanging reminiscent of a palace tapestry. Cut out various decorative elements, such as Esther, Persian patterns, or even a palace archway from your coloring pages. Glue these onto a larger piece of fabric or poster board, then add yarn fringe along the bottom for an authentic touch.
5. Royal Decree Bookmark
Keep your place in your favorite book with a regal bookmark. Cut out a narrow, colored image of Esther or a related symbol from your page and glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardstock. For durability, cover with clear contact paper or laminate, then punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon or yarn tassel.
6. Scepter of Favor
Craft King Xerxes' golden scepter that extended favor to Esther. Decorate a paper towel roll with yellow construction paper or gold paint. Cut out a small, colored image of Esther's face or a crown from your coloring page and glue it securely to the top of the roll, signifying her royal favor.
7. Esther's Banquet Placemats
Prepare for your own “royal feast” with personalized placemats. Glue a full colored Queen Esther page (or a large section of one) onto a larger sheet of construction paper. Cover the entire placemat with clear contact paper or laminate to protect it and make it wipeable for future meals.
8. Mordecai's Gate Puppets
Re-enact the story with simple stick puppets. Cut out colored images of Queen Esther, Mordecai, and other characters from your pages. Glue each cut-out character onto a craft stick, then use them to tell the compelling story of courage and faith, perhaps even from “Mordecai's gate.”
9. Purim Celebration Mask
Get ready for Purim with a festive mask! Choose a coloring page featuring Esther's face or a decorative mask shape, color it in, and carefully cut it out. Glue it onto sturdy cardstock, cut out eyeholes, and attach elastic string or a craft stick handle so it can be worn or held.
10. Jeweled Medallion
Create a beautiful, wearable medallion inspired by Queen Esther's royal attire. Cut out a circular image of Esther or a royal emblem from a colored page and glue it onto a cardboard circle. Decorate the border with foil, colorful paper bits, or plastic “gems” for a jeweled effect, then add a loop of yarn to wear as a necklace.
