Creative Craft Ideas for Your Sunflower Coloring Pages
After you’ve colored those gorgeous sunflower pages, don’t let them sit in a pile! Transform your artwork into something magical and memorable. Here are a few fun ideas for parents, teachers, and kids to upcycle their sunflower masterpieces.
1. DIY Sunflower Garland
Cut out the colored sunflower shapes. Attach them to a piece of twine or ribbon using clothespins, tape, or punch holes and thread through. Hang your garland across a classroom, a window, or even your front porch for a cheerful display.
Fun Fact: Sunflowers are heliotropic when young, which means they follow the sun! They turn their faces to the sun during the day, but stop when they mature.
2. Sunflower Greeting Cards
Fold a piece of colored cardstock in half. Cut out your sunflower and glue it to the front of the card. Add a sweet or funny message inside. Examples: “You’re my sunshine!” or “Have a blooming great day!”
Fun Fact: Sunflowers can grow to be giants! The tallest recorded sunflower was over 30 feet tall—that’s taller than a two-story building.
3. Sunny Table Placemats
Laminate your sunflower coloring pages (or use clear adhesive vinyl). Use them as vibrant, cheerful placemats for meals or classroom activities. Wipe-clean designs make them reusable!
Fun Fact: Not just pretty, sunflowers are practical too. They’ve been used to clean up toxic soil because they soak up harmful substances through their roots. Nature’s cleanup crew!
4. Sunflower Collage Poster
Have everyone in the class or family color a sunflower page. Cut them out and arrange them together on a large poster board to create one giant sunflower or a sunny field. Display the poster on a bulletin board, fridge, or community wall.
Fun Fact: A sunflower’s head is actually made up of thousands of tiny flowers. The petals surround the head, which contains seeds, each in its own tiny flower.
5. Seed Packet Envelopes
Fold your sunflower page into an envelope or pouch shape. Tape or glue the edges, leaving the top open. Fill with sunflower seeds and label them. (Hint: Add instructions for planting!)
Fun Fact: Sunflower seeds aren’t just for planting—they’re also a healthy snack packed with Vitamin E. Birds love them, too!
6. Peek-a-Boo Sunflower Frames
Cut out the center of your colored sunflower. Mount it on a sturdy piece of cardboard or cardstock. Add a photo or drawing to peek through the center, turning it into a custom frame!
Fun Fact: Sunflowers are native to North America and were cultivated by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years for food, oil, and dye.
