6 Fun Activities That Use Dora the Explorer Coloring Pages
If you have a stack of finished Dora the Explorer pages, do not stop at coloring. A few simple supplies can turn them into keepsakes, party props, and little gifts that kids feel proud to hand over.
1. Dora Adventure Passport Book
Pick four to six finished pages and turn them into a tiny “passport” book. Choose scenes like the cave adventure, the rope bridge, and the treasure hunt so it feels like a real trip.
Fold each page in half, then stack them and staple along the fold. If you do not love staples, punch two holes and tie yarn through the spine.
Add a “stamp” on each page with a marker, like “Cave Completed” or “Bridge Crossed.” Kids love checking off missions, and you get a sweet mini book to keep.
2. Boots and Dora Paper Puppets
Choose a page with clear characters, then color Dora and Boots in bold shades. Cut them out with a thin white border so the edges look neat and do not tear fast.
Glue each cutout onto cardstock, then cut again for strength. Tape a craft stick to the back, or use a straw if you have one.
Now you have puppets for quick story time. Kids can act out “Swiper, no swiping!” and you will hear a lot of laughs in the process.
3. Map-and-Backpack Treasure Hunt Clues
Use pages that feature Map and Backpack, then cut out small pieces like icons, arrows, or simple objects. Color them, then hide them around the room as clue cards.
Write short hints on the back, like “Look near the books” or “Check under the chair.” Keep each clue easy, because the win is the chase, not the struggle.
End with a small “treasure” like stickers or a snack. Kids stay busy, and the coloring pages feel like part of the game.
4. Dora Party Masks and Headbands
Pick a Dora face page, or use a simple Dora pose and cut out the head area to create a mask shape. Color it, then glue it to a thicker sheet to stop flopping.
Punch holes on the sides and tie string, or tape it onto a strip of paper for a headband. Add Boots ears, a flower, or a star with scrap paper.
These work great for parties because each kid gets a different look. Also, they make quick photo props that parents actually keep.
5. Window Sun Catcher Art
Color a page using bright markers, then flip it over and trace the main outlines with a dark marker so the shapes pop from both sides. Cut out the character or scene.
Cover the front with clear tape, overlapping strips like a simple laminate. This keeps marker from smudging and makes it a bit glossy.
Tape it to a sunny window. The light makes the colors glow, and kids notice it every time they walk past.
6. Dora Gift Wrap for Small Presents
Use a fully colored page as wrapping paper for small boxes, books, or party favors. If the item is tiny, cut the sheet down and save the extra for tags.
Wrap it like normal paper, then add a ribbon or a strip of colored paper as a band. Write the name on a cutout star, heart, or balloon shape.
If the gift gets opened carefully, the wrapping becomes a keepsake page. That is a fun bonus, and it feels more personal than store wrap.
Have fun printing, coloring, and crafting with Dora the Explorer coloring pages.
