Different Ways to Color August Coloring Pages
What do we need crayons for? There are other options as well. After all, there’s room to switch things up! Here we’re sharing how easy it is to turn these August coloring pages into true works of art!
Watercolors
Watercolors make great pages as there’s this lovely softness about watercolor paintings. And it’s best printing out onto thick paper so you won’t tear/crease it when putting some color down with your kiddies’ brushes!
Even though they’re not creating master pieces…most look nice enough to hang up on the fridge for weeks!
Stickers and Stamps
Another great option to incorporate into these August pages is adding some stickers.
There are a ton of sticker sets available with all sorts of things included – sunflowers, backpacks, school supplies, and much more. We always love getting kids’ finished coloring pages up and then pulling out their stickers and having them do what they want to decorate the page!
If you’re using rubber stampers to add some extra texture to your project, adding some stickers (or whatever decorations you prefer) will be another way to really make this stand apart from the rest!
Paper Collage
We prefer tearing/cutting colored paper and glueing to sections than doing coloring traditionally. So you can understand it takes more time than usual… but all this is worth if you get your kids use their fine motor skills and make such beautiful little August-themed mosaics!!
Pastels and Chalk
They’re a bit messier but work better if you use soft pastels. If you have access to bigger area (posterboard) sidewalk chalk might be easier for you. Try to spray fixative after that to make sure your stuff doesn’t get smooshed together.
Digital Coloring
To access our digital August coloring pages you will need either a tablet or an iPad with stylus, however, if you are lucky enough to have a kid who enjoys doing creative coloring this method has lots of advantages: no mess, limitless do-over’s and easy saving or printing of the finished project!
