10 Creative DIY Projects to Make with Puppy Coloring Pages

Once the coloring is done, the fun doesn’t have to stop! Turn your finished artwork into adorable crafts and keepsakes with these 10 creative and kid-friendly DIY ideas:

1. Puppy Picture Fram

Color your favorite puppy page and cut out the central image. Glue it onto a piece of cardboard and decorate the edges with paw prints, dog bones, or your pup’s name. Add a stand in the back or hang it with ribbon.

2. DIY Greeting Cards

Cut out a square or rectangular section from your coloring page and glue it onto the front of folded construction paper. Write a sweet message inside—perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes, or just to say “I ruff you!”

3. Puppy Paper Puppets

Glue your colored puppy to a popsicle stick or straw and create your own puppet show! You can even make different breeds and give each one a fun name and personality.

4. Custom Bookmarks

Trim your coloring pages into strips and laminate them to create one-of-a-kind bookmarks. Punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon tail—like a wagging dog’s tail!

5. Puppy Wall Art Gallery

Hang your child’s finished coloring pages side-by-side on their bedroom or playroom wall to create a “Puppy Gallery.” You can even switch them out every week for a rotating art show.

6. Puppy Adoption Certificates

After coloring, write your puppy’s name on the page and fill out a pretend “adoption certificate” with your child’s name as the new owner. It’s imaginative play at its best!

7. Party Placemats

Hosting a puppy-themed birthday or playdate? Use the coloring pages as placemats! Laminate them or use clear plastic sleeves for easy clean-up and reusability.

8. Puppy Story Starters

Let your child create a story about their colored puppy. Where does it live? What’s its favorite toy? Combine the coloring page with a short story and staple them into a mini book.

9. Puppy Puzzle

Glue the coloring page onto cardboard, then cut it into 6–10 puzzle pieces (depending on age). Mix them up and let your child try to put their puppy picture back together!

10. Window Display or Mobile

Tape finished pages to windows for a cheerful view, or punch holes in the tops of several and hang them from a coat hanger to create a cute mobile.
