10 Craft Ideas to do With Subway Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant Subway coloring pages are complete and piling up, don't let them go to waste! Transform them into these easy and affordable crafts for endless fun.
1. Subway Car Chain
Cut out individual subway cars from several finished coloring pages. Use a hole punch to make a hole at each end of the cars, then link them together with paperclips or small pieces of yarn to create a long, colorful train that can stretch across a wall.
2. Station Stop Sign
Glue a colored subway station scene or a train arriving at a platform onto a piece of sturdy cardboard shaped like a station sign. Write your favorite station name or “Next Stop” at the top. You can even attach a popsicle stick handle to the back for pretend play.
3. Tunnel Diorama Box
Transform a shoebox into an underground tunnel scene. Cut out colored trains, passengers, and platform details from your pages and glue them inside the shoebox to create a 3D subway environment. Cut a viewing window or tunnel entrance at one end.
4. Conductor's Visor
Create a simple visor shape from construction paper or lightweight cardboard. Cut out subway logos, train numbers, or even a small train from your coloring pages. Glue them onto the front of your visor for a personalized train conductor's hat.
5. Subway Map Puzzle
Glue a finished coloring page depicting a subway map onto a piece of poster board. Once dry, carefully cut the map into various puzzle pieces of different shapes and sizes. Mix them up and challenge friends or family to reassemble your unique subway route!
6. “Mind the Gap” Door Hanger
Cut a door hanger shape from heavy construction paper or thin cardboard. Glue a colored subway platform scene or a train with an open door from your coloring pages onto the main body. Add the iconic phrase “Mind the Gap” with markers for a thematic room decoration.
7. Subway System Mobile
Cut out various elements like subway cars, passengers, station signs, and even the “MTA” logo from your colored pages. Use a hole punch to add a hole to each cutout. String them at different lengths from a coat hanger or crossed popsicle sticks to create a dynamic hanging mobile.
8. Station Platform Coasters
Cut out squares or circles from your finished coloring pages that feature subway tracks, platform textures, or small station details. Glue these onto cardboard cut into the same shapes. Cover with clear contact paper for durability, creating custom themed coasters for drinks.
9. Fare Card Magnets
Cut out small fare card shapes or iconic subway tokens from your coloring pages. Glue these onto small pieces of cardboard. Once dry, attach a small craft magnet to the back of each, turning them into fun fridge magnets that show off your artistic “tickets.”
10. Train Depot Puppet Show
Cut out colored trains, station workers, and passengers from your pages. Glue each figure onto a popsicle stick to create simple puppets. Use a cardboard box turned on its side as a makeshift stage for an imaginative puppet show set in a bustling train depot.
