Fun Ways to Use Your August Coloring Pages
Get creative with these 10 easy and entertaining projects using your August coloring sheets. Each idea is easy to follow and great for at-home or classroom activities!
1. Sunflower Wall Mural
Print several sunflower-themed designs and have each child color one page. Glue them in a row on a long strip of butcher paper, aligning the stems along the bottom. Hang the final mural on a classroom hallway or living room wall for a cheerful sunflower garden display!
2. Camp-Out Banner
Choose pages with tents, stars, and camping scenes. After coloring, cut them into triangle shapes and punch two holes in the top corners of each. Thread a ribbon or string through to create a festive camping banner. Hang it over a pretend campfire setup indoors or at a real backyard camp-out!
3. Watermelon Bookmarks
Use watermelon slice coloring pages, then have children color and reinforce the bottoms with tape or clear contact paper. Cut into 2–3-inch-wide bookmarks. Punch a hole at the top and attach a ribbon or tassel. These make cute summer-themed bookmarks for summer reading!
4. Picnic Placemats
Laminate large August sheets like picnic baskets, fruits, or picnic blankets. These will protect your surfaces during snack or lunch time and make mealtime extra fun. Once the picnic is over, just wipe down and reuse!
5. Seasonal Story Bundle
Print a sequence of August pages showing different activities (beach, campout, fruit picking, back‑to‑school). Staple them together in order and let kids write a short story that follows the pictures. It becomes their own coloring storybook!
6. Glow‑in‑the‑Dark Stars Craft
Color nighttime camping scenes, then outline stars and the moon with glow‑in‑the‑dark paint or markers. Let it dry, then dim the lights to see them glow—perfect for a summer sleepover vibe!
7. Fruit‑Rainbow Collage
Use pages featuring sliced fruit like watermelon, peaches, and citrus. Color each in rich tones, cut out the fruit shapes, and create a rainbow collage on a larger poster board. Add hand‑drawn leaves or grapes to complete the summer fruit fest!
8. Ice‑Cream Cone Garland
Pick pages with ice‑cream cones or popsicles. After coloring, cut each ice‑cream shape out and glue them onto cardstock for stability. Clip each to a string using mini clothespins to create a sweet garland for an ice‑cream party or summer celebration.
9. Back‑to‑School Mini Notebooks
Print pages with school buses, pencils, or books. Fold each sheet in half and staple along the crease to make a little notebook. Kids can use these as journals, doodle books, or to write about their favorite summer memory before heading back to school.
10. Nature Suncatchers
Color garden or garden‑insects designs on clear contact paper. Cover with a second clear sheet, trim to shape, and punch a hole to hang in a window. The sun makes the colors shine through like a homemade suncatcher—perfect for August sunshine! These 10 creative crafts will help you turn August coloring sheets into memorable summer-themed activities. From bookmarks to storybooks, banners to suncatchers, there’s something for home, classroom, or camp. Enjoy making memories and colorful creations this August!
