10 Craft Ideas to do With Tower Of Babel Coloring Pages
Once those fantastic Tower of Babel coloring pages are filled with vibrant hues, don't let them gather dust! Transform your artistic masterpieces into exciting, hands-on crafts with these easy and affordable ideas.
1. Stacked Tower Blocks
Glue cut-out sections of your finished coloring pages onto empty tissue boxes, small cardboard boxes, or sturdy paper tubes. Stack them high to create your very own multi-level Tower of Babel. These blocks can be rearranged again and again, just like the ambitious builders of Shinar!
2. Confused Language Mobile
Cut out various figures, bricks, or sky elements from your colored pages. Attach them with string or pipe cleaners to a hanger or a crossed stick base, letting them dangle at different lengths. Add small cardstock speech bubbles with jumbled letters or different language symbols to represent the confusion of tongues.
3. Tower Builder Puppets
Carefully cut out figures of people, animals, or even tools from your coloring pages. Glue each cutout onto a craft stick, popsicle stick, or even a pipe cleaner for a bendable puppet. Use these to re-enact the story of the ambitious builders and the resulting scattering.
4. Grand Tower Wall Mural
Gather several completed Tower of Babel coloring pages. Arrange and glue them onto a large sheet of poster board or directly onto a classroom wall (with permission!). Overlap edges to create a massive, collaborative mural showcasing the incredible height and intricate details of the legendary tower.
5. “Brick by Brick” Bookmark
Cut your finished coloring pages into long, narrow strips, perhaps with a brick-like pattern or texture. For durability, laminate them with clear contact paper or glue them onto cardstock. These personalized bookmarks will remind you of the story every time you open a book!
6. Cloud of Confusion Visor
Trace and cut out a visor shape from poster board, or use a pre-made paper visor. Cut out swirling cloud shapes or the very top of your colored tower from the pages. Glue these onto the visor, adding small written words or question marks to symbolize the confusion of languages that scattered the people.
7. Scattering People Diorama
Transform a shoebox into a diorama! Cut out various people or groups from your colored pages. Glue them onto small stands made from folded paper or pipe cleaners, positioning them around a smaller, central tower cutout (also from a coloring page). Show them “scattering” outwards, away from Babel.
8. Tower of Babel Story Wheel
Glue a complete colored Tower of Babel page onto a paper plate. On a second paper plate, cut a “window” out and divide the remaining ring into sections representing the story's progression (building, confusion, scattering). Attach the plates in the center with a brad fastener, then spin the top plate to reveal the story.
9. Babel “Language Barrier” Fence
Cut strips of various colored tower bricks or small people figures from your finished pages. Glue these strips onto individual popsicle sticks. Arrange and glue the popsicle sticks side-by-side onto a sturdy base of cardboard, creating a “fence” that visually represents the separation caused by the language barrier.
10. “Building Up” Accordion Story Book
Fold a long strip of construction paper into an accordion style. On each fold, glue cut-out sections from your coloring pages, starting from the tower's base and moving upwards, or depicting different stages of the story (building, confusion, scattering). This unique book unfolds the narrative visually.
