9 Crafts for Kids Using Princess Coloring Pages

Hi, I’m James. I’m a dad of two creative kids and a former private school teacher. In our home, crafts are how we bond and make everyday moments special. When the weather keeps us indoors, Lisa and Mike love diving into princess coloring pages, and I’m right there with them, glue stick in hand.

We used our favorite princess designs for 9 fun projects last weekend. Also, good news: I’ve put 53 free Princess coloring pages in PDF format right below this article for you to print out. They’re great for these crafts and full of ideas for magical things.

Let’s jump into the royal fun!

1. Princess-Themed Crown

Materials Needed:

• Free princess coloring pages
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Glitter or sequins
• Colored pencils or markers
• A strip of cardboard

Steps:

1. Have your child color a princess page of their choice. Lisa, my 11-year-old daughter, loves picking the ones with big, flowy dresses because, as she says, “It feels magical!”
2. Cut out the princess or any design your child loves. Make sure to supervise younger kids with scissors to ensure safety.
3. Attach the colored page to a strip of cardboard measured to fit around your child’s head. You can also let your kids decorate the cardboard with markers or stickers before attaching the princess.
4. Decorate the crown with glitter, sequins, or anything sparkly. Lisa’s favorite addition is glittery pink stars, while Mike, my 6-year-old, prefers adding green shapes because green is his favorite color.
5. Secure the ends of the cardboard with glue or tape. Once the crown is complete, encourage your child to pretend they are royalty—this activity is perfect for imaginative play.

Genius Hack: Add a small loop of elastic to make the crown adjustable for different-sized heads. This also makes it more comfortable to wear during playtime.

Last week, Lisa and I made these crowns for her and her friends during a playdate. The girls had so much fun pretending to be princesses from their favorite stories, and Lisa even organized a “royal tea party” using her toy tea set. Seeing her creativity and joy made my day.

2. Princess-Themed Storybook

Materials Needed:

• Printed princess coloring pages
• Blank notebook or stapled paper
• Markers and crayons
• Stickers (optional)

Steps:

1. Use the coloring pages as illustrations for your child’s story. Before starting, talk to your kids about what kind of story they want to create. It could be about a brave princess, a magical kingdom, or even a friendly dragon.
2. Help your child write a short story about their princess adventures. Lisa once wrote a story about a princess who saved her kingdom from a dragon—it was so creative and empowering for her.
3. Paste or staple colored princess pages to the notebook as illustrations. Let your kids choose picture placement to match the story.
4. Adding stickers or decorations makes it more fun. It personalizes the book and makes it a keepsake.

Safety Tip: Use child-safe glue when sticking pages to avoid messy hands or accidents.

Helpful Idea: After completing the storybook, have a reading session where your child can share their story with the family. Mike loved listening to Lisa’s story, and it inspired him to create his own about a superhero princess and her pet dinosaur.

3. Princess Puppet Show

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• Wooden sticks (like popsicle sticks)
• Tape or glue
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Color the princess pages. Mike loves using red for their capes—he says it makes them look royal!
2. Cut out the princesses carefully, ensuring the edges are smooth for a polished look.
3. To make a puppet, tape or glue each princess to a popsicle stick. If you want your child to be really creative, add extra decorations like small pieces of fabric for dresses.
4. Use a cardboard box to create a stage. Cut a window into the box and decorate it with curtains or paint for a theatrical effect.
5. Let the kids put on a show. Encourage them to come up with a storyline and dialogue for the characters. Lisa once staged a play about a princess rescuing her pet unicorn, and it had us all laughing and cheering.

Fun Tip: Add a curtain to the stage by draping an old scarf over the box. It makes the puppet show feel more real and adds to the fun.

4. Princess-Themed Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• Picture frames
• Glitter pens
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Color and decorate the pages with glitter pens or small gems. Encourage your kids to use their favorite colors. Lisa loves using pink and purple, while Mike adds little red hearts.
2. Trim the edges to fit into a picture frame. You can find inexpensive frames at craft stores or reuse old ones.
3. Frame the pages and hang them in your child’s room. This is a great way to showcase their artwork and boost their confidence. Lisa’s favorite pink princess frame hangs right above her desk and inspires her every day.

Helpful Idea: Rotate the artwork every few weeks to keep things fresh. This also keeps your kids motivated to create more masterpieces.

Emily, my wife, loves seeing the kids’ art displayed around the house. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate their creativity as a family.

5. Princess Party Invitations

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• Cardstock
• Scissors
• Glue
• Markers

Steps:

1. Print and color your favorite princess coloring pages. Choose designs that match the party theme. For Lisa’s birthday last month, we used pages with princesses holding balloons.
2. Cut out the princesses and glue them onto folded cardstock. Let your child help with this step to make the invitations more personal.
3. Write the party details inside using colorful markers. Encourage your child to add doodles or small drawings to make each invitation unique.

Safety Tip: Make sure scissors are kid-friendly and always supervise younger children.

Helpful Idea: Include a small blank space where the recipient can color their own section of the invitation. It’s a fun way to get everyone excited for the party.

6. Princess-Themed Bookmarks

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• Cardstock
• Laminating sheets or clear tape
• Hole punch
• Ribbon

Steps:

1. Color a princess page and cut out some small squares. Pick sections with different patterns or characters to make things more interesting.
2. Glue the designs onto cardstock for extra durability. This helps the bookmarks last longer.
3. Laminate the bookmarks with laminating sheets or clear tape. This step is great for making the bookmarks spill-proof.
4. Punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon through it. Choose ribbons that match the colors used in the bookmark.

Genius Hack: Personalize bookmarks with your child’s name for school use. Lisa’s bookmarks are always a hit with her classmates, and they make great small gifts.

7. Princess Dress Garland

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages (choose ones with full dresses)
• Twine or ribbon
• Clothespins or tape
• Safety scissors

Steps:

1. Print out princess coloring pages with beautiful dress designs. Let your children go wild with their creativity. Lisa likes to match the dress colors to seasons. In spring, she uses light greens and pinks, and in winter, she loves icy blues and silver. Mike, of course, colored one all green with lightning bolts.
2. Once the pages are colored, help your kids cut out the princess figures. This part takes some time, especially around flowing dresses and long hair, but that’s part of the fun. I like to sit with Mike and guide his hands gently, while Lisa, who’s more experienced, often cuts her own.
3. Arrange the princesses in the order you want them to appear on the garland. Use clothespins or tape to attach them to the twine or ribbon. We hang ours across Lisa’s window, and it looks like a royal fashion parade.
4. Stretch the garland along a wall, doorway, or bed frame. You can even layer it in a zigzag to give the illusion of depth.
5. Encourage your kids to name each princess and make up a special power or kingdom for them. Lisa once created a princess who ruled over butterflies, and Mike invented a princess who could talk to lions.

Pro Tip: For durability, laminate the princess cutouts or print them on thicker cardstock. That way, they’ll last longer, especially if your kids want to rearrange the garland frequently.

8. Princess Wand Spinner

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• A straw or wooden dowel
• Scissors
• Glue
• Ribbon
• Tape

Steps:

1. Choose a circular design or draw your own simple spiral on one of your favorite princess coloring pages. Encourage your kids to color with bright and bold colors so it really pops when it spins. Lisa uses glitter pens for extra sparkle.
2. Carefully cut out the circular shape. For durability, glue it onto a piece of cardstock and cut around it again. This makes it more solid and easier to spin.
3. Attach the design to one end of a straw or dowel. I use strong tape or a hot glue gun (with supervision) to make sure it stays put. Mike always wants to help here, so I let him press down the tape firmly like a pro assistant.
4. Take 2 to 3 ribbons and tie or tape them just below the circle. When your child waves the wand, the ribbons flutter in the air like magic sparkles.
5. Let your kids try spinning their wands around. They can perform princess spells, pretend to cast sunshine, or just dance with them in the garden. Last month, Lisa twirled around with her wand during sunset, and the ribbons caught the light so beautifully I almost cried. If your kids love projects like this, be sure to explore our Color & Celebrate section for more fun ideas to print and create at home.

Pro Tip: Add a small paper clip to one side of the spinner to give it some weight. It spins more smoothly that way.

Fun Tip: Create multiple wands and give each one a name and magical purpose. Lisa made one for happiness, one for dreams, and one called “Mike protection” for when her little brother gets too loud.

9. Princess Puzzle Box (Not a Puzzle!)

Materials Needed:

• Small gift box or shoebox
• Princess coloring pages
• Scissors
• Tape or glue
• Tiny toys or trinkets

Steps:

1. Begin by coloring and cutting out multiple princess-themed elements from your pages. These can be crowns, dresses, wands, or animals. Lisa once cut out 12 tiaras for this project!
2. Decorate every side of your box with the colored designs. You can glue the princesses onto the lid and smaller items like hearts or stars on the sides. Use ribbon or glitter if you want to make it more festive.
3. Fill the box with tiny surprises. These can be mini erasers, folded notes, stickers, or little trinkets from a dollar store. We even made a scroll with a “royal decree” inside from King Mike.
4. Use the box as a countdown or surprise reward tool. You can open one item a day leading up to a birthday or special event. Last summer, Lisa opened one each night before her sleepover party.

Helpful Tip: Write little positive affirmations on folded paper. Lisa once wrote one that said, “You’re a magical artist, Mike,” and tucked it in. He carried it in his pocket for two days.
