8 Fun Things To Do After Coloring
1) Gratitude Garland
String your finished pages into a garland for the mantel or wall. Cut shapes like leaves or mini banners, punch holes, and thread with twine. On the back, write one thing you are thankful for. Hang it where everyone can read and smile.
2) Table Placemat Set
Laminate each page or slip it into a clear sheet protector. Use as placemats for the Thanksgiving meal. Add names in the corner so every guest has a personal setting. Wipe clean after dinner and save for next year.
3) DIY Thank You Cards
Fold smaller pages into cards. Add a short note to a teacher, neighbor, or coach. Glue a strip of ribbon or a dried leaf on the front. Simple and kind. Perfect for the season.
4) Photo Booth Backdrop
Tape several colored pages together to form a large collage. Hang it behind a chair to create a fall photo corner. Add paper props like hats or mustaches. Take family photos and share the joy.
5) Storytime Flip Book
Bind a set of themed pages with staples or yarn. Write one or two sentences under each picture to build a short story about a turkey adventure or a harvest day. Read it aloud at family time.
6) Classroom Gratitude Wall
At school or club meetings, post colored pages on a bulletin board. Add sticky notes with gratitude messages. Rotate pages each week so everyone gets a turn to feature their art.
7) Coasters and Trivets
Shrink copies to coaster size and laminate them. For trivets, mount a larger colored page on thin cork or cardboard. Seal with clear adhesive film. Use during the holiday meal to protect the table and show off your art.
8) Gift Wrap and Tags
Use a finished page as unique wrapping paper for small gifts like cookies or candles. Cut leftover pieces into gift tags. Punch a hole and tie with jute or ribbon. Handmade wrap feels extra thoughtful.
