10 Craft Ideas to do With Squanto Coloring Pages
Once those finished Squanto coloring pages start to pile up, don't let them go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts put your child's artwork to use while extending the learning fun.
1. Squanto's Story Scroll
Cut out various Squanto figures and related elements (corn, fish, Pilgrims) from your colored pages. Glue them in chronological order onto a long strip of poster board or construction paper. Attach a craft stick to each end, then roll the paper around the sticks to create a scroll depicting Squanto's incredible journey and teachings.
2. Patuxet Village Diorama
Transform a shoebox into a mini Wampanoag village. Cut out your colored Squanto figure and other Wampanoag people. Use construction paper to create small wigwams, trees, and a blue “river” on the shoebox base. Arrange your Squanto figure within his village setting.
3. Corn Harvest Pouch
Decorate a small paper bag or folded construction paper pouch with green and yellow paper strips to mimic corn husks and kernels. Cut out a colored Squanto figure, especially one teaching about corn, and glue him onto the front. This makes a unique container for small treasures or pretend “seeds.”
4. Fish Trap Scene
Create a simple “fishing net” by weaving yarn or string onto a small cardboard frame. Cut out your colored Squanto figure and several small paper fish. Glue Squanto near the net, with the paper fish seemingly caught, illustrating his vital fishing knowledge.
5. Peacemaker's Talking Stick
Decorate a sturdy craft stick or a small cardboard tube with feathers, yarn, and beads. Cut out a small, prominent image of Squanto (perhaps just his face or upper body) from a colored page and glue it near the top. Discuss how Squanto served as a bridge between cultures.
6. “Three Sisters” Garden Markers
Mount cut-out Squanto figures, or small pieces from your colored pages depicting him, onto popsicle sticks or craft sticks. Decorate the sticks with drawings or cutouts of corn, beans, and squash. Use them as charming markers for a pretend garden or potted plants, representing his teaching of the “Three Sisters” method.
7. Wampum-Inspired Necklace
Cut out small, repeating patterns or miniature Squanto profiles from your colored pages. Glue these onto round paper cutouts or small flat craft beads. String these “beads” onto yarn or string to create a Wampum-inspired necklace or bracelet, honoring Wampanoag cultural artistry and Squanto's heritage.
8. Patuxet Path Map
Draw a simple map on a large sheet of construction paper or poster board, showing Squanto's homeland (Patuxet), Plymouth Colony, and key natural features like rivers and forests. Cut out your colored Squanto figure and glue him onto the map, illustrating his travels or where he shared his knowledge with the Pilgrims.
9. Harvest Feast Placemat
Cut out a colored Squanto figure, along with images of corn, fish, and other harvest items from your pages. Arrange and glue them artistically onto a piece of construction paper or cardstock. Laminate or cover with clear contact paper to create a unique and durable placemat celebrating the first harvest feast.
10. Squanto Finger Puppet
Cut out several different small Squanto figures (perhaps different poses or expressions) from your colored pages. Glue each figure to a thin strip of paper, forming a loop to fit a finger, or to a small paper bag. Use your Squanto finger puppets to act out scenes from his life or his interactions with the Pilgrims.
