Creative Ideas & Activities
- Make paper crowns by printing a princess portrait, coloring it, cutting a decorative strip, and attaching it with tape or staples to fit a child’s head—use stickers and glitter for extra sparkle.
- Create character backstories: have each child color a princess and then write or tell a short story about her kingdom, friends, and favorite things to build narrative skills.
- Turn pages into a simple math game by adding numbered stickers to elements and asking kids to count, add, or sort by color to combine art with arithmetic practice.
- Use color-by-number overlays: write numbers lightly on a printed princess page and provide a key so children practice number recognition while coloring.
- Cut and collage: print several princess pages, cut out dresses or accessories, and let kids mix-and-match pieces on a blank sheet to design new outfits using glue and scissors.
- Set up a classroom gallery where students display their princess art, rotate themes weekly, and vote on fun categories like “most imaginative outfit” to build community and pride.
- Make puppets by gluing a colored princess image to cardboard and attaching a popsicle stick for storytelling or a simple puppet show with friends.
- Create a memory matching game by printing two copies of a princess page, coloring them differently, cutting into cards, and playing a flip-and-match game to boost focus and memory.

How can I get the best coloring results with these princess pages?
Use slightly heavier paper (24 lb or light cardstock) to prevent marker bleed-through and to make colors look richer; crayons and colored pencils are great for young children, while markers and gel pens work well for bolder color. Place a scrap sheet underneath when using markers, encourage layering and blending for depth, and provide sharpeners and erasers so kids can tidy details as they go.
