4 New Ways to Color Chili Pepper Coloring Pages
Here are some super simple crafts that use finished chili pepper coloring sheets, along with stuff you probably already have on hand: paper, glue, crayons…you get it! (Just keep a few of our finished coloring sheets around to make these.)
1. Make a Kitchen Garland
Color the string of dried peppers, and then cut around your drawing and glue it on to some cardstock (then add a bit of yarn).
Hang as many pieces as you want from your pretend kitchen… Just leave enough room in between so that the pepper shapes are clear!
2. Decorate a Recipe Folder
You might think there’s something very “cool” about a collection of Mexican-themed plastic bottles for making all sorts of dips with different flavors.
You can take a small bowl full of salsa and put it on one side of the bottle and then pour some different colored sauce from the other side into the bowl to make it more interesting! 😄
You could use this same idea with your children. Just give them a choice between using a salsa bowl or another sauce bottle they have.
3. Build a Pepper Matching Game
Start by making 2 copies of the simple outline of a chili pepper.
Color the 2 peppers with matching shades or patterns and glue them to cards. Make multiple pairs (in various colors), mix all of them up, and play!
This is great for little hands to practice their motor skills. You can also add other veggies to work on shapes!
4. Create a Garden Picture
Using our pepper plant coloring page as your starting place, you can color on some brown paper for soil around your plant and color all of the area around the leaves with a nice blue background.
After cutting out your little extra pepper pieces, fold small little paper tabs to stick behind your extra pepper pieces. This will make a great vegetable collage!
These chili pepper coloring pages would make a great addition to your next coloring session or afternoon craft.
