Craft Ideas to Make With Sunflower Coloring Pages

Turn sunflower coloring sheets into bespoke pieces of art with these 10 craft projects! 

Suitable for young artists, parents, and teachers, these ideas range from educational tools to whimsical decorations, and are the perfect way to spend cloudy days. 

Use your favorite markers and a variety of creative tools to bring the beauty of sunflowers into everyday life. 

1. State Flower of Kansas Time Capsule

Create a historical treasure box as a unique way to capture memories and moments related to Kansas (or wherever you live!). 

Use sunflower printable coloring pages to decorate a sturdy box, coloring them in shades that reflect your home landscape. Protect the beautiful flower designs with clear acrylic sealant. 

Place items inside that represent Kansas's culture, nature, and history – photographs, local newspaper clippings, personal notes, trinkets, and sunflower seeds.

Seal the time capsule and decide on a future date for its reopening. 

This can be a meaningful project for a family, a class, or a community group, serving as a connection to Kansas's heritage and history.

2. Mega Flower Mural

Foster teamwork and artistic collaboration by making a spectacular sunflower collage. 

Each student should complete a printable sunflower coloring page with different colors and detailed patterns. 

Cut out individual petals from each child’s design and assemble them around a large, circular center on a classroom wall to form a giant sunflower. 

The center can be colored or decorated with seeds to add texture. Or, add little circular photos of each child to personalize it even more!

This mural is a fantastic decoration for a school hallway or classroom and a great way to boost community spirits.

3. Garden Growth Chart

Make growing up even more fun by crafting a handmade height decal to track young kids' height. 

Use a simple sunflower coloring page and color beautiful flowers in your favorite colors. 

Cut out the sunflowers and attach them vertically on a long strip of paper, marking heights along the edge. 

Hang this chart in a classroom or a child's bedroom and use it to measure height over time. 

4. Seeds of Creativity

Sunflower seed packet decorations are a cute way to combine art with gardening. 

Use the printable coloring pages to color and cut out sunflower designs. Glue these to small envelopes. 

Fill the packets with sunflower seeds, and add planting instructions on the back. 

These seed packets make charming favors for a garden party or thoughtful gifts for a gardening club.

5. Poetic Petals

Combine poetry and visual art for a fantastic addition to a classroom reading nook.

Select a flower design you like and color it with thick, acrylic paints for a textured effect. 

Once dry, use a black marker to write short poems or haikus about sunflowers, spring, or nature, on top of the painted sunflower pictures. 

6. Solstice Sunflower Circle

Create a stunning summer wreath to celebrate warm weather and sunshine-filled days!

Color a sunflower coloring sheet with bright yellows and lush greens, then cut out the blooms. 

Arrange the cutouts on a circular base made from cardboard, alternating with real or faux greenery. Include other summer flowers like daisies and roses for added variety.

Hang this wreath to celebrate the summer solstice, or use it as a decoration for a summer party or garden gathering.

7. Easter Basket Blooms

Use your sunflower illustrations to decorate a basket and use during an Easter egg hunt or as a charming centerpiece for a spring brunch.

Color in a few printable sunflowers, focusing on lovely, pastel spring-like colors. 

Cut out the completed sunflowers and attach them to a wicker basket using hot glue. Add designs like bumble bees and butterflies for extra cuteness. 

Fill the basket with Easter eggs, treats, or even small potted plants.

8. Petal Planters

Enhance your flower pots with your very own artwork to create a delightful fusion of art and gardening. 

Trim the colored pages to wrap snugly around each pot and glue them into place. 

Apply a layer of acrylic sealant to protect your artistic creation. 

Plant a sunflower seedling and watch it spring into life, or gift it to grandma or grandpa for Grandparent’s Day!

9. Yellow Brick Floral Path

Make your own Wizard of Oz sunflower pathway and bring a classic tale to life. 

Color several free coloring pages in vibrant colors, cut the flowers out, and curl the petals upward to create a 3D effect. 

Glue each flowerhead to a wooden dowel or skewer painted green. Add paper leaves to make them more realistic. 

Lay a yellow fabric or paper path on the floor, mimicking the famous Yellow Brick Road. “Plant” your sunflowers along both sides of the path like a blooming garden. 

Add extra details like miniature Emerald City cutouts, small rainbow arches, or character figures to make it an immersive experience.

This theatrical scene is a delightful addition to a themed party, a school play, or a fun way to decorate a child’s room who loves the Wizard of Oz. 

10. Sunflower Science Exhibit

Create an interactive and educational bulletin board, ideal for teaching kids all about sunflowers! Kids of all ages can learn about the flowers' life cycle, how they reproduce, and other interesting facts.

Have each child complete a detailed sunflower color sheet that shows all parts of a sunflower. Then, choose one of the craft ideas below, or do all three!

Anatomy: Label each part of the sunflower with its scientific name, such as petals, stem, leaves, and seeds, to teach people about the anatomy of a flower. 

Life Cycle: Choose pages that show the different stages of a sunflower's life cycle. Cut out each stage and arrange them in a circle on a large piece of cardstock. Label each stage, like 'seed,' 'sprout,' 'bud,' and 'bloom.'

Pollination: Choose a design and add arrows and labels to show how a bee helps to pollinate the bloom. Include facts, like how a sunflower can actually pollinate itself! Draw or use pom poms to make bees and add googly eyes for a cute addition.  

Mount the scientific displays on a bulletin board and surround them with interesting facts, diagrams, and real sunflower seeds.

Kids will have a great time creating this exhibit, which is an excellent educational tool for a classroom science fair or Earth Day celebration.
