DIY Items to Create with Octonauts Coloring Pages
My children have mastered the art of finishing Octonauts coloring pages in less than half an hour. This is why I suggested we craft lovely gifts for their friends and grandparents.
Postcards
Every child will be thrilled to tell everyone about their role models. Utilize paper figures from Octonauts coloring pages — give a card a custom feel. Be sure to write thoughtful wishes. We often use these visuals to make stunning greeting cards with pop-up elements. Such projects differ in their complexity. Hasn’t your child ever worked on such tasks before? Use designs that are easier to implement. Print a postcard in A5 format. Fold it so that the illustration is on the front. You can show children how to write greetings and warm wishes. They can also use glitter to decorate their postcards, draw patterns, or, say, create a frame in the form of a vignette.
Younger kids love giving postcards to their teachers. When working on such gifts, check the kids’ writing. Suggest ways to improve specific lines. It will take you about 60 minutes to create a lovely greeting card.
Posters
Such pieces are perfect for those who want to embellish their living room. Complete Octonauts coloring pages and turn them into placards. Print an illustration in a large size or decorate a large sheet of paper with cut-outs from the pictures you have completed. Use high-quality pencils and markers to create a collage. Fill in the empty areas with beautiful patterns. Write inspiring inscriptions — make your placard more appealing.
Hang the poster in the living room so everyone can see it. It will be perfect for a themed party. Use action-packed pictures if you plan to have many activities during the event. Add paper flags and suncatchers to the mix to create a festive atmosphere.
Headband
Do you want to play games? Or organize a theater play to entertain guests at a party? Use DIY accessories to indicate who plays specific characters. Cut out figures from Octonauts coloring pages and glue them to a simple headband. You can find a plastic headband at many stores. If you still have some time left before a party, order headbands online. Then, attach the shapes to a piece of cardboard and attach them to the headbands.
This accessory will make storytelling activities more engaging. It will allow everyone to understand who participates in the play. My son decorated his headband with markers to make it look even cooler. His friends followed suit. They had a lot of fun when working on these accessories and kept wearing them for the whole evening.
Paper Decorations
Use Octonauts coloring pages to create paper flags to decorate the living room. Utilize cut-outs from the illustrations to create lovely fans, light catchers, and cake toppers. These projects won’t require you to purchase any costly materials. You can complete them in 1 hour max. Your guests will notice the effort your kids put into their projects. Show you are proud of their achievements and the progress they have made.
Choose the most suitable idea depending on the situation. Paper flags are suitable for a birthday party, while food toppers will be perfect for any event, including a regular family gathering.
Finger Puppets
Organize a home theater play to engage youngsters in an interactive activity. Measure children’s fingers and create simple paper bands for each potential actor. Then, print Octonauts coloring pages in a smaller size and cut out the figures you want to use. It’s better to print different characters to avoid confusion. Glue the cut-outs to the rings. Wait until they get dry. Most kids will be able to complete this project independently. But stay close to answer their questions and assist them with specific tasks if they ask for help.
Such puppets are ideal for many activities that require improvisation. Ask your child to portray a specific character. Share stories from their point of view. This exercise will help them develop their creative side. Moreover, they will learn to express their thoughts and articulate their opinions.
