Once those finished coloring pages pile up, don't let them go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts put your colorful shorts creations to use.
Cut out your favorite colored shorts from the pages. Glue each pair onto a small circle of sturdy cardboard (like from a cereal box). Once dry, glue a small safety pin to the back of each cardboard circle to create fun, wearable fashion pins.
Carefully cut out several pairs of your colored shorts. Punch two holes near the top of each pair (one in each corner of the waistband). Thread a long piece of yarn or string through the holes, spacing the shorts evenly, to create a festive garland for a party or room decoration.
Choose your favorite colored shorts and carefully cut them out. Glue the top back of each cutout to a popsicle stick. Now you have fun, easy-to-hold shorts puppets perfect for storytelling or imaginative play scenes.
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make a card. Cut out a pair of colored shorts and glue them onto the front, making sure to only glue the sides and bottom edges so the top waistband is unglued. Cut a small, separate paper “sun” or “heart” and tuck it into the unglued waistband pocket to create a sweet, interactive greeting for someone special.
Glue two popsicle sticks upright onto a sturdy cardboard base. Tie a piece of string or yarn between them, creating a mini clothesline. Cut out your colored shorts, fold a tiny tab at the top of each, and glue the tab over the string, making them “hang” to dry for a cute display.
Color several different pairs of shorts, ensuring each has a distinct pattern or color. Carefully cut each pair out, then cut each individual pair horizontally in half (separating the waistband/top from the leg portions). Mix up all the halves and challenge friends or family to match the tops to the correct bottoms!
Cut strips of card stock or thick construction paper about 2×7 inches for your bookmarks. Choose your favorite colored shorts, cut them out, and glue them neatly to the top of each bookmark strip. Now your books can wear stylish shorts while you keep your place!
Color multiple pairs of shorts. On the back of each cut-out pair, write down a different favorite summer memory or glue a small photo. Punch a hole in the top corner of each shorts cutout and bind them together with a binder ring or ribbon to create a unique summer memory album.
Cut out your favorite colored shorts designs. Glue each one onto a sturdy square or circle of cardboard (like from a shipping box or old gift box). Cover both sides of the cardboard and shorts completely with clear contact paper or laminating sheets to make them waterproof and durable coasters for drinks.
Cut out several colored shorts, leaving a small border around the edges. Glue only the sides and bottom of each shorts cutout onto a large piece of poster board, creating functional paper pockets. Then, write or draw small “items” on index cards (like a tiny shell, a key, a coin) and tuck them into the shorts' pockets for a fun interactive display.
