Genius Hack: The Magic of Coloring Under a Blanket Fort!

Last week, Lisa and Mike turned our living room into a cozy blanket fort. Lisa brought fairy lights, and Mike added his stuffed animals. We printed some cat coloring pages and colored them inside the fort. It was the best coloring night ever! If you’ve never tried this, give it a go. It’s like creating a secret little art studio!

8 Crafts for Kids Using Cat Coloring Pages

Cat coloring pages are a fantastic way to spark kids’ creativity! And guess what? I’ve published 20 free cat coloring pages in PDF format above this article. Once your kids have colored their favorite cat designs, don’t just throw them away—turn them into fun crafts! Here are eight creative and engaging crafts to try with your little ones.

1. Cat-Themed Greeting Cards

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• Blank cardstock or folded paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Markers or stickers

Steps:

1. Cut out the colored cat from the coloring page. Encourage your child to be careful while cutting to create a neat shape.
2. Glue it onto the blank card, making sure it’s centered or positioned creatively.
3. Let your child unleash their creativity by decorating it with stickers, markers, or even glitter. Lisa loves adding pink sparkles to hers, while Mike prefers doodling extra fun shapes around the edges.
4. Write a sweet message inside together. This is a great opportunity to teach kids how to express their feelings through words.
5. Hand-deliver or mail the card to a friend or family member. The joy of giving makes this craft extra special!

Genius Hack: If your child struggles with cutting shapes, use child-safe craft scissors with fun patterns to make decorative edges!

2. DIY Cat Puppets

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• Wooden craft sticks
• Tape or glue
• Googly eyes (optional)

Steps:

1. Cut out the colored cat from the coloring page. Encourage your kids to pick their favorite designs—they might choose a sleepy cat, a playful cat, or even a superhero cat! Mike once picked a grumpy-looking cat and called it “Detective Whiskers.”
2. Attach the cut-out to a craft stick using glue or tape. Tape is a quicker option, and Mike always chooses it because he wants to play with his puppet right away!
3. If you want to add more personality, stick on some googly eyes and draw whiskers with a marker. Lisa loves to make hers look extra cute by adding tiny bows.
4. Once your puppets are ready, put on a show! Encourage storytelling by making the cats talk and interact. One evening, we made a whole skit about a cat detective solving the mystery of the missing yarn ball!

Pro Tip: If you want a sturdier puppet, glue the coloring page to a piece of cardboard before cutting it out.

3. Cat-Themed Bookmarks

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• Scissors
• Laminating sheet or clear tape
• Hole puncher
• Ribbon

Steps:

1. Cut out a long rectangle from the coloring page, making sure the cat’s face or paws are part of the design.
2. To make the bookmark last longer, laminate it or put clear tape over it. It’s fun for Lisa and me to do this step together; it makes the bookmarks last longer.
3. Make a hole in the top and put a ribbon through it. Let your kids pick their favorite color. Lisa always picks pink, but Mike likes green.
4. Tell your kids to use the bookmarks in their stories. Lisa likes to mark her favorite parts of fairy tales with hers, and Mike, who isn’t a big reader yet, likes to put his in his comic books.

Genius Hack: Write an inspiring cat-related quote on the bookmark, like “Cats know how to relax. Take a break and read a book!”

4. Cat Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• Picture frame or canvas
• Glue or tape
• Optional: Stickers, glitter, markers

Steps:

1. Select your child’s most vibrant or creative cat coloring page.
2. Carefully cut around the design, leaving some background space to make it look neat.
3. Either lay the artwork inside a frame or onto a canvas. Should you lack a frame, you can glue it on a thick piece of cardboard for a stronger feel.
4. Let your children personalize their masterpiece by embellishing the frame with stickers, glitter, or even small hand-drawn sketches. To make it especially adorable, Lisa once put small hearts around hers.
5. Hang the artwork in their room or a special display area. Lisa loves showcasing hers above her desk, and Mike enjoys pointing out his “cool cat” before bedtime.

Pro Tip: Rotate the artwork every month to keep their creativity on display fresh and exciting!

5. Cat Party Decorations

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• String or ribbon
• Hole puncher
• Tape or glue

Steps:

1. Pick out different cat designs on the coloring pages. You can make the cats different sizes and poses by cutting them out.
2. Punch holes at the top of each cut-out and thread them onto a string to create a fun cat garland.
3. Hang the garland across walls, doors, or tables to create a festive cat-themed atmosphere. When we did this for Lisa’s birthday, she was thrilled! It made the whole place feel extra special.
4. Kiddies can decorate the cats even more by gluing on small paper hats or writing little notes on them, like “Purr-fect Party.”

Fun Tip: Use glow-in-the-dark stickers or neon markers on the garland for a magical nighttime party effect!

6. DIY Cat Puzzle

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• Cardboard
• Glue
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Choose a fully colored cat page and carefully glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardboard. Press it down firmly and smooth out any air bubbles to avoid wrinkles.
2. Let it dry completely before moving to the next step. If you are in a hurry, place a heavy book on top to speed up the drying process.
3. Flip the cardboard over and draw puzzle-piece shapes on the back using a pencil. If this is your child’s first homemade puzzle, start with larger, simple pieces. For older kids, make the pieces more intricate to challenge them!
4. Carefully cut out the puzzle pieces with scissors. Take your time so the edges stay smooth and fit together well.
5. Shuffle the pieces and challenge your kids to put the puzzle back together. Mike made one last week with so many tiny pieces that even Emily and I had trouble solving it. We laughed so hard trying to figure it out!

Pro Tip: If you want to make a long-lasting puzzle, laminate the coloring page before gluing it to the cardboard. Store the pieces in a Ziploc bag or small box to keep them safe.

7. Cat Notebook Covers

Materials Needed:

• Colored cat coloring pages
• Notebook
• Clear contact paper
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Choose a cat coloring page that your child loves and trim it to match the size of the notebook’s front cover.
2. Attach the coloring page to the notebook using glue or double-sided tape. Smooth it down to avoid wrinkles or bubbles.
3. Clear contact paper will cover the whole notebook cover to guard it from wear and spills and scratches. This makes it look fresh and lasts far longer!
4. Invite children to personalize their notebook with stickers, doodles, or fun lettering, including their names. Lisa named her one with a pink glittering cat her “Secret Craft Ideas Book,” and she won’t let me have a look inside!

Smart Tip: Use glow-in-the-dark markers or metallic pens for an extra creative touch that makes the notebook stand out.

8. Cat-Themed Gift Wrap

Materials Needed:

• Large colored cat coloring pages
• Tape
• Ribbon or twine
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Select a fully colored cat page large enough to encircle a small gift. If the gift is big, lay several pages together to form a larger sheet with tape.
2. Lay the coloring page flat and place the gift in the center.
3. Fold the edges neatly and secure them with tape, just like regular wrapping paper.
4. To embellish the wrapped gift, tie a ribbon or twine around it. Lisa wrapped a handcrafted bracelet for her best friend last Christmas; her friend loved the unusual wrapping paper just as much as the present inside!
5. To add more flair, let kids write special messages, draw tiny doodles, or decorate the wrapping paper with stickers.

Genius Hack: If your child wants to make the wrapping even more special, they can create a matching gift tag by cutting out a small cat from another coloring page and writing the recipient’s name on it!

Safety Tips

• Always supervise kids when using scissors or glue.
• Use non-toxic materials for all crafts.
• Keep small decorations out of reach of toddlers to prevent choking hazards.
