10 Craft Ideas to do With Samson Coloring Pages
Once those finished Samson coloring pages start piling up, put them to creative use with these easy, affordable craft ideas!
1. Samson's Mighty Hair Crown
Cut out Samson's head from a colored page. Glue it onto a strip of construction paper that fits around a child's head, forming a crown. Attach long, brown yarn strands behind Samson's head to create his powerful, flowing hair, ready for imaginative play.
2. Pillar Toppling Play Set
Cut out a standing Samson figure from a finished coloring page. Create two “pillars” using empty toilet paper rolls or sturdy craft paper tubes, decorating them to look like stone. Place Samson between the pillars in a small shoebox diorama, ready for action.
3. Lion's Honey Pot Decoration
Decorate an empty, clean jar with yellow construction paper and drawn bees to resemble a honey pot. Cut out the colored Samson and lion figures from a page, and glue them onto the jar, depicting Samson finding honey inside the lion's carcass. It's a sweet way to store small treasures!
4. Jawbone of Strength Prop
Draw and cut a large, curved jawbone shape from sturdy cardboard. Decorate it with paint or markers to give it a bone-like texture. Glue a smaller, cut-out Samson figure from a coloring page onto the handle area, so it looks like he is wielding his famous weapon.
5. Gates of Gaza Stand-Up Scene
Cut two tall “gate” shapes from cereal box cardboard and decorate them with markers to look like ancient city gates. Cut out a standing Samson figure from a colored page. Glue Samson in between the two gates, making it look like he is carrying them away.
6. Delilah's Betrayal Mobile
From various Samson coloring pages, cut out Samson (both with long and short hair) and a Delilah figure. Cut out several paper scissor shapes. Attach these cut-outs with string to a craft stick or cardboard circle hanger, creating a mobile that tells the story of Samson's vulnerability.
7. Samson's Strength Scale
On a long strip of poster board, draw a “strength scale” with different power levels. Cut out a vibrant Samson figure from a finished coloring page. Attach the Samson cutout to a paper clip or clothespin, allowing it to slide up and down the scale to represent his changing power.
8. Pop-Up Lion Encounter Card
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to create a card. On the inside, create a simple pop-up mechanism using extra paper strips. Cut out Samson and the fierce lion from separate coloring pages and glue them onto the pop-up, making their epic battle spring to life when the card opens.
9. Samson's Braided Hair Bookmark
Cut out a rectangular bookmark shape from cardstock. Glue a tall, slender Samson figure, cut from a colored page, onto the bookmark. Attach several long, braided yarn strands to the top of Samson's head, letting them extend out like his mighty hair, perfect for holding your place in a book.
10. The Temple's Fall Diorama
On a large piece of poster board, draw a simple temple outline. Cut out several standing Samson figures from different colored pages. Glue each Samson figure onto the poster, strategically placing them next to “pillars” made from empty toilet paper rolls or craft sticks, depicting the dramatic final scene.
