Craft Ideas for Your Colored Princesses
Here are some fun and unique ideas that go beyond just coloring. These ideas also sneak in fun facts, especially about famous princess tales, giving kids an educational twist on classic stories!
1. Make a Princess Story Wall
Once your princess coloring pages are done, tape them onto a wall to create a “Princess Story Wall.” This could even be a timeline showing the history of princess tales, starting from the oldest tales like Snow White to modern princesses!
Fun Fact: Did you know Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was one of the oldest princess stories adapted by Disney? It’s actually based on a much darker tale by the Grimm Brothers. In the original story, the Evil Queen was forced to dance in red-hot iron shoes as punishment. Yikes!
2. Turn Coloring Pages into Puppets for Storytelling
Cut out each colored princess and glue them onto craft sticks to create a princess puppet theater. Kids can then act out the stories themselves. Create a mini script or encourage kids to make their own lines based on the tales. This is a fun way to teach storytelling skills while adding their own creative twists.
Fun Fact: Sleeping Beauty, known as Princess Aurora in Disney, was cursed to fall asleep for 100 years. In the Brothers Grimm version, the prince finds her asleep in a hidden castle surrounded by thorns. In some versions, he has to fight through them to reach her!
3. Fashion Show for “Historical Princesses”
Let kids color their princesses, but focus on the clothes, encouraging them to think about the different styles for each character. This can be a great way to introduce kids to historical fashion or even art history.
Fun Fact: Did you know Beauty and the Beast was inspired by real events? Belle’s story was influenced by the tale of Petrus Gonsalvus, a man with a rare condition that caused excessive hair growth. His story turned into a beloved fairy tale of kindness and love!
4. Princess Luna’s Night Sky Collage
For a princess like Princess Luna, who represents the moon and stars, have kids color her image, then create a “night sky” background. They can use black or dark blue paper, then add stars with glitter or stickers around Luna to make her look like she’s in her element.
Teach kids about space and the night sky while working on the collage. This can also lead to a conversation about the differences between traditional fairy tales and modern fantasy characters.
Fun Fact: Princess Luna is inspired by the mystical side of royalty, bringing in elements of the cosmos, which is very different from traditional princesses. She’s a unique example of how fantasy princesses don’t have to stick to castles and dresses!
5. Make a “Travel Guide” with Princesses
Use each princess coloring page as a “guide” to the land they might live in. Kids can color the princess, then draw or add cut-outs of what they imagine her kingdom looks like!
Show kids on a map where these princesses’ stories might take place, whether in Germany for the Grimm Brothers’ tales or in America for Pocahontas!
Fun Fact: Pocahontas is actually based on a real historical figure. She was a Native American woman from the Powhatan tribe in Virginia, and her story is much more complex than how it’s shown in movies. This activity could open discussions about historical accuracy and culture.
6. Rapunzel’s Long Hair Craft Project
Kids can color Rapunzel, then get creative by adding “hair” using yarn, string, or even paper strips. See who can make the longest braid, just like in her story!
Fun Fact: In the original tale by the Brothers Grimm, Rapunzel is locked away in a tall tower with no stairs or doors. Her long hair becomes her only way to escape, which is why it’s often seen as a symbol of freedom and individuality.
7. Create a Magical Garden for Sleeping Beauty
After coloring Princess Aurora, have kids design a “magical garden” around her using pressed flowers, leaves, or drawings of plants and fairies. This ties into her story, where she’s surrounded by a beautiful forest while she sleeps.
Fun Fact: Sleeping Beauty’s tale is centuries old and has been retold many times, from Perrault’s The Sleeping Beauty to the Grimm Brothers’ version, Little Briar Rose.
8. Create a “Princess Crown” Memory Book
Cut out each princess’s face and paste it onto the center of a paper “crown.” Then, use each crown as a page in a special princess memory book. Kids can add stories, details, or fun facts on the back of each crown!
Fun Fact: Crowns are symbols of royalty and often represent power, leadership, and responsibility. Different cultures design crowns uniquely, some even have hidden meanings in their designs!
