Make A Birthday Banner
Kick start the celebration by making something they everyone see hanging right above their heads, a birthday banner. Print out the coloring pages that spell “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” in bold letters, or you can go for ones filled with balloons, cake, and party hats. Fill them with vibrant shades, string them together with a ribbon or yarn and hang it across a wall. You can even laminate them to keep them as a birthday keepsake.
DIY Birthday Cards
Handmade birthday cards have a charm that no store-bought card can beat. And it’s so simple to make. Print out your favorite image on cardstock paper, fold it in half and use the front as your card cover. Once you have colored it, write a heartfelt message inside. Elevate it to another level by adding stickers, glitters and other decorative elements. This simple gesture will make the receiver feel super special and loved.
Custom Party Hats
Instead of buying party hats, how about making some yourself? That too with coloring pages? Print out cone templates with birthday themed designs like balloons, cakes, stars, confetti, candles, and more. When you have finished coloring, roll them into hats, and tape or staple them. Add a string and your hat is ready.
Make Puzzles Out Of It
This one’s gonna be a sure shot hit. Color the illustrations and stick them to cardboard. Once the pieces have dried, cut them into puzzle pieces. Children will have a gala time piecing together their own artwork. And it’s definitely more engaging and interesting than a puzzle from a box.
Create a Birthday Storybook
If you have coloring pages that kind of go together or belong to the same theme, how about creating a birthday storybook? Just fill them up and add little captions or text to each page. Bind the pages using ribbon or staple them together and your handmade birthday book is ready.
Party Placemats
If you are hosting a birthday party or dinner, this idea will definitely come in handy. Pick out some oversized coloring printable, fill them up and laminate them to use as placemats. In case lamination isn’t possible, skip the lamination part and use coloring page itself as a placement. It’s sure to bring a little party vibe to the table, too.
Pin the Accessory
This game is basically a birthday version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. To get started, print out the biggest birthday character you can find and hang it on the wall. Gather some accessories like hats, stickers, candles on smaller pages. When the coloring is done, blindfold the participants and have them “pin” their piece on the correct spot. The fun and laughter with this game will be unmatched.
Coloring Contest
Sometimes a little competition is all it takes to get the crayons flying. Print out a batch of birthday-themed pages and hold a coloring contest. Give out silly awards like “Best Use of Pink” or “Most Sparkly Cake.” Everyone wins something—because, well, it’s a birthday party!
Make Gift Bags Or Wrap
Give your party a homemade touch by making gift bags or wraps with coloring pages. Fill these printables in advance and use them to make gift bags, wrapping papers or as party favors. All you need to do is stick the finished coloring pages onto plain paper bags and your bag for return favors is ready.
Decoration Flags and Cake Toppers
Use parts of the coloring pages as decorations! Cut out elements like cupcakes, balloons, candles, and attach them onto toothpicks and use as decorations and flags. You can use these as cupcakes or cake toppers too. Just make sure the guests don’t eat them.
So whether you are a parent hosting a birthday party and looking for a quiet and wholesome activity for the little guests, these coloring pages will surely tick a lot of boxes.
