What You’ll Need:
- Several Easter coloring pages (printable for free online)
- Crayons, markers, or watercolor paints
- Scissors

- A hole punch
- Ribbon or string
How to Create Your Easter Coloring Banner:
Step 1: Choose Your Coloring Pages
Start by printing out several Easter-themed coloring pages. Look for designs that complement each other, such as bunnies, Easter eggs, spring flowers, and chicks. You can find free printable pages online with a quick search.
Right click and save the easter bunny coloring sheets.
Step 2: Let the Coloring Begin!
Gather the kids (or your inner child!) and start coloring. Use crayons, markers, or watercolor paints to bring the designs to life. Encourage creativity—this is the perfect opportunity to experiment with colors and patterns.
Step 3: Cut Out the Designs
Once the pages are colored, carefully cut out the designs. You can leave a small border around each image or cut along the outlines for a more polished look.
Step 4: Add a Pop of Color with Cardstock
To make your banner sturdier and more vibrant, glue each cut-out design onto a piece of colored cardstock. Choose pastel shades like pink, yellow, blue, or green to keep the Easter theme alive. Trim the cardstock to your desired size, leaving a small border around each design.
Step 5: Assemble the Banner
Punch two holes at the top of each cardstock piece, spacing them evenly. Then, thread a ribbon or string through the holes to connect all the pieces. Make sure to leave enough ribbon on either end for hanging.
Step 6: Hang and Enjoy!
Find the perfect spot to display your Easter Coloring Banner. Drape it across a mantel, hang it on a wall, or use it to decorate a doorway. Step back and admire your handiwork—it’s a beautiful, personalized addition to your Easter décor!
