Things to do with a finished colouring page

Cards, bunting, a gallery that changes and a colouring advent calendar: simple ways to use the pages once they're coloured.

Turn finished pages into cards, bunting, a gallery that changes each week, wrapping paper or a December advent calendar. Most of these need only string, pegs, a hole punch or a fold.

Make it a card

Fold an A4 page in half with the picture on the front and you have a card for a grandparent's birthday. In one of our books the caption already has their name on it. Print that page on thin card and it stands up on its own.

String up some bunting

Cut each picture into a triangle, or keep it as a rectangle if that's easier, punch two holes along the top and thread them on string or ribbon. Ten pages make a good length for a bedroom or a party.

Put up a length of string with a few pegs and let the newest picture push the oldest one off the end. The older ones go in a folder, which by the end of the year is a record of what they coloured and when.

A colouring advent calendar

Print 24 pages, fold each one and number them 1 to 24. Peg them on a line or pop them in envelopes, one to open and colour each day in December. A 30-picture book (£9.49 as a PDF) with Christmas and two other themes they love covers it, with a few left over for Christmas Day.

Wrapping paper and gift tags

A coloured page wraps a small present, and a cut-out corner with their name on it makes the tag.

Keep it on screen too

In Scribble Club, a page coloured on screen goes into their gallery and earns a sticker. No scissors needed.

More pages for the bunting

There's a free page in every theme to print, and a book with their name on every page from £4.99.
