10 Creative DIY Ideas to Do with Your Airplane Coloring Pages

Don’t stop at just coloring—use your finished artwork in these exciting and educational crafts. Here are 10 creative DIY projects using your airplane coloring pages:

1. “My First Boarding Pass” Activity

After coloring an airplane, fold a sheet of paper and attach the artwork to the front. Inside, your child can fill out a pretend “boarding pass” with their name, seat number, and imaginary destination!

2. Airplane Mobile for Room Decor

Cut out 3–5 colored airplanes and hang them with string from a hanger or a stick. Add clouds or stars to create a floating ceiling mobile—a beautiful way to decorate a travel-themed room or nursery.

3. DIY Travel Journal Cover

Glue a finished airplane coloring page onto the front of a plain notebook and label it “My Travel Journal.” Use it for writing stories, tracking flights, or journaling vacations.

4. World Map Matching Game

Color planes and then match each one to a country or continent. Create a paper map and “fly” each plane to different places as a fun geography learning activity.

5. Airport Pretend Play Props

Use colored pages as backdrops for pretend airports! Add play suitcases, tiny printed tickets, and a toy phone for announcements. Kids can act as pilots, passengers, or flight attendants.

6. Postcard from the Sky

Turn your airplane coloring into a travel-themed postcard. On the back, write a message like “Greetings from Cloud Nine!” Mail it to a grandparent, friend, or pen pal.

7. Airplane Race Wall

Make a race chart on the wall. Each child chooses a plane from the coloring pages, colors it, and moves it across the wall (with sticky tack) each time they complete a task—like chores, homework, or reading!

8. Party or Classroom Decoration

Decorate a party room, classroom, or homeschool space with a line of colored airplanes strung like a garland. Great for themes like “Around the World,” “Travel Day,” or “Pilot Training Camp.”

9. Pilot Passport Craft

Create a fun “passport” booklet, glue colored planes on the front, and have your child stamp it every time they complete a learning activity or pretend visit a country.

10. Airplane Collage Art

Cut out planes, clouds, stars, or airport details and arrange them on a large piece of paper to create a one-of-a-kind collage or scene. Use cotton balls for fluffy clouds and blue paint for the sky.

Educational Benefits of Airplane Coloring Pages

Aside from being a creative and calming activity, airplane coloring pages also offer several learning opportunities:

• Geography & World Exploration: Pair the pages with maps, books, or lessons about different countries.
• STEM Interest: Talk about how airplanes fly, parts of a plane, and the job of pilots and engineers.
• Storytelling & Literacy: Encourage kids to write a short story about where their plane is going and what happens on the trip.
• Cultural Awareness: Some pages include global landmarks, introducing different cultures and destinations.
• Fine Motor Skills: Coloring within the lines helps improve hand control and pencil grip.

These pages work beautifully in classrooms, homeschool curriculums, airport playsets, and travel-themed activity books.
