Axolotl Coloring Pages
So here’s the thing, axolotls are weirdly adorable. Like, weirdly.

A lot of kids (some adults too), are obsessed with them. And if you are one of them, I have got you a whole bunch of axolotl coloring pages to download and print out.

Fun And Creative Ways to Use Axolotl Coloring Pages
And yeah, sure, you can just stop there. Color a few axolotls, tape them to the fridge, and call it a day. But if you’re a kid who gets bored fast or if you’re a parent trying to stretch one activity into a full afternoon of peace and quiet, scroll down. We’ve got a whole list of fun crafts and activities you can do with these axolotl pages once they’re colored in.
Hanging Axolotl Mobile (Or Just Dangly Things from the Ceiling)
So first up, mobiles. Not the phone kind, the hanging, spinning one which moves when the fan is on kind. Print a few different axolotls, color them in, cut them out (this part might need grown-up scissors), and then punch little holes at the top. You can tie them with yarn, thread, string, dental floss if that’s all you’ve got. Then just hang them from a coat hanger or a stick or whatever you have around. Children love to watch stuff dangle from the ceiling, and with axolotl mobiles, their room will look no less than a mini aquarium.
You can even go a bit extra by adding little paper fish, some glittery stars, or wiggly seaweed cut from green paper.
Puppet Show Time
This one is a big hit if you’ve got your friends coming over or if you are a kid that likes talking to themselves, which, let’s be honest, most do. Color the axolotls, stick them to craft sticks (or straws, or pencils or popsicle sticks ), and boom, you’ve got puppets. Now, it’s showtime. Maybe your axolotl is lost at sea. Maybe it’s a sea-popstar on tour. Who knows? Let them make up whatever.
Bonus tip: You can even turn your shoebox into a stage. Cut out a front window, tape up some blue construction paper, toss in stickers, and now you’ve got a DIY underwater theater.
Handmade Cards With Axolotl Puns
Let’s say your kid has a birthday party to go to. Or you forgot a birthday and need a card fast. Here’s a quick fix: color an axolotl, cut it out, tape or glue it to a folded piece of paper, and write something silly like “Have an Axol-awesome Day!” or “You’re One in a Gill-ion!”. You can even add some glitters and stickers to make it pop out. No pressure.
Homemade Puzzle
After you have colored, glue the page to a piece of cardboard. You can use an old cereal box for this. Let it dry, and then cut it into random shapes, doesn’t really need to be perfect. Now you’ve got a DIY puzzle. Shuffle it up and challenge your friends to put it back together. Or keep a timer to make it a little game. If you are a parent reading this, do try it out as it works surprisingly well to keep the kids occupied for hours.
Story Time With Axolotl And Friends
Print out a few pages, color each axolotl in a different way (you can give one a pink hat, one a green mustache, just get as creative as you can), and glue them into a homemade book. You can use construction paper or simply fold printer paper in half. Under each drawing, write a little sentence or two. Stuff like “Kiko, the Pink hat axolotl loved jellybeans” or “Nina, the axolotl couldn’t stop hiccupping underwater.” Parents can feel free to assist their children in making up stories.
Window Clings
Trace your axolotl coloring sheet onto wax paper with a black marker, then color it in with see-through markers (the ones that glow in sunlight). Once it has dried, can peel it off and stick it to a window. It won’t stay forever, but long enough to impress your visitors, grandparents in particular. When the light hits it, it kind of sparkles, which looks beautiful.
DIY Memory Match Game
This one’s great for younger kids. Print two copies of each axolotl, color them the same, cut them into cards, and you’ve got a homemade memory game. Lay them face down and take turns flipping them to find matches. This game will help hone the memory of children.
Party Decorations
If you have got a birthday party coming, you can try your hands at axolotl garlands. Color a bunch of axolotls and tape them together into a garland. You can then hang them on the wall, over the TV, on the front door, just about anywhere really. Kids feel proud when their artwork gets turned into decorations. You can even have an “Axolotl Parade” where each kid designs their own and shows it off.
Funny Little Masks
Big axolotl face. Eye holes. Popsicle stick or elastic band. Done. Mask complete. Axolotl masks work great for dress-up, pretend play, or photo shoot at home. Print out a big axolotl face, make eye holes, stick on a popsicle stick or elastic band and your mask complete. Pipe cleaners work great for adding fluffy gills, and for extra sparkle, you can tape little gems or stickers on it.
Stickers!
Kids love sticking things to everything, be it walls, beds, or the pet. Turn axolotl cutouts into stickers by adding double-sided tape on the back and sticking them to wax paper. Now you’ve got a sticker collection make all by yourself. Feel free to stick them to notebooks, lunch boxes or even your forehead.
These axolotl pages are cute, simple, and can be used in ways more than you can imagine. You can create a character, narrate a story, or color them outside the lines on purpose, as it will only help you in hand coordination and creativity.
You don’t even need any fancy tools for these crafts and coloring pages. Just some A4 size sheets of paper, glue, colors, scissors and some decoration stuff that might be lying in your drawer. So go ahead, print out a few pages, spread out some crayons and start coloring!
