Top 5 Crafts to Create with Grinch Coloring Pages
Once you have finished Grinch coloring pages, it’s time to create fun party decorations and other items that will entertain your guests. My son loves such activities, as he enjoys telling stories about the characters of his favorite movie and happily shows his work to relatives.
Stick and Finger Puppets
I prefer to use a piece of felt for this project. We cut out a small band that can be safely wrapped around a finger and connect both ends with glue. Be sure to take the right measurements to ensure the best fit. After completing Grinch coloring pages, cut out the characters and glue them to the rings you have created during the previous step. You may also add wiggle eyes to the puppet of the main protagonist to achieve a more comical effect.
Youngsters can cope with this task on their own. However, they might need some guidance when trying to wrap and secure the finger ring. Alternatively, you may glue the cut-outs to construction paper, attach wooden sticks, and organize a theater play for your guests.
Paper Garland
We love this activity, as it does not take us a lot of time. I always have some brightly colored sheets of paper at home. Youngsters utilize strips of paper to create a long chain and glue cut-out figures from Grinch coloring pages. As a result, you will get a garland featuring mostly the main protagonist engaged in all sorts of activities. If your kids’ friends decided to visit you, engage them in the process by suggesting they color any illustration they like. Use may use thread or paper fasteners to attach different segments to each other.
Such a garland will add bright accents to the interior of every living room and classroom. This budget-friendly decision is the best fit for parents interested in affordable decorations.
Framed Pictures
Grinch coloring pages remind us of the meaning of this holiday. Buy cheap frames at a local store or order them online and frame the completed pics. You may also create collages to display your family photos and add Grinch figures between them. Find additional elements to decorate your picture. Use some glitter or paper ornaments. If you want to make a large collage, utilize a piece of cardboard to attach all the cut-outs securely. Add extra details and fill the empty space with themed pics.
It’s one of the most affordable ideas to implement. It won’t take you more than 30 minutes to frame the pics and create simple collages. Youngsters will feel proud after seeing their work displayed for every guest to see.
Themed Masks
Grinch coloring pages are also perfect for creating fun masks for various games. Print the illustrations in a larger size so that the characters’ faces are sufficiently big. When you cut it out and glue it to a piece of cardboard, cut out the eye holes, and attach a ribbon or elastic band to it. Some people use wooden sticks. This way, a child can hold the mask in front of their face when acting.
Choose illustrations where Grinch is looking directly to achieve a better effect. I typically edit illustrations before printing them. I cut out the faces and copy them to a new document. Then, I resize them as I see fit. After printing them, we fill them in with hues and attach rubber strings. Such accessories are perfect for home theater plays.
Greeting Cards
If your relatives love receiving unique greetings, use cut-outs from Grinch coloring pages to create fun postcards. There are plenty of illustrations portraying Grinch posing with stolen gifts. Pics of his dog, Max, will also be a great choice. While not everyone will understand the picture of the main protagonist stealing the Christmas tree or toys, his facial expressions will appeal to those who love comedies. You can turn a cute illustration of Whoville into a lovely greeting card for grandparents.
If you plan to fold the page into fourths, put the pic in the upper left corner of the page upside down before printing it. Then, fold the page in half and repeat the same step. Alternatively, you can print a pic in a smaller size and then fold it so that the illustration is on the cover. Draw fancy patterns with pencils, use glitter, and write warm or witty wishes inside.
