5 Fun Crafts to Use Australia Day Coloring Pages
If the pages get colored fast (and they usually do), turning them into crafts keeps the excitement going a little longer. These ideas are simple, low-prep, and they work especially well with favorites like the kangaroo, koala, Opera House, flags, or the Australia Day stars page.
1. Australia Day Bunting Banner
Pick a few pages that feel bold and celebratory, like the flag sheet, fireworks, stars, or the beach party scene. After coloring, cut each page into a triangle or flag shape, leaving a small strip at the top.
Fold that top strip over a piece of string or ribbon and tape or glue it down, spacing each piece out as you go. It instantly looks like party decor, even if the coloring is wonderfully imperfect.
Hang it across a doorway, along a table edge, or on a classroom wall, and mix in a couple of animal pages for extra personality. The banner also makes a sweet “look what we made” display once the day is done.
2. Landmark Postcard Set
Use pages like the Sydney Opera House, Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, or the Melbourne tram, then color them with a bit of extra care. Trim the finished picture into a postcard rectangle and glue it onto thicker card.
On the back, draw a line down the middle, then add a few short lines on the right for an address. On the left, write a message, like a tiny travel note, a fun fact, or what we’d want to do if we visited.
They’re cute as mail-style notes for family, but they also work as class swaps, party table place cards, or keepsakes tucked into a memory box.
3. Aussie Animal Paper Masks
The kangaroo, koala, cockatoo, echidna, crocodile, and Tasmanian devil pages are perfect for this one, especially if the animal’s face is big enough. Color the animal, then cut around the head, leaving a small border so it stays sturdy.
Cut out eye holes carefully, then punch a hole on each side and tie on string or elastic. If the paper feels flimsy, glue it to thin cardboard first, then cut again for a stronger mask.
These are always a hit for photos, and it’s an easy way to turn “just one more page” into actual party entertainment, without needing anything fancy.
4. BBQ Placemat and Table Talk
Grab the Australia Day BBQ page, picnic page, cake page, and even the beach party sheet, then print them as placemats for a meal or snack table. Coloring first makes it feel like part of the celebration, not just something to do before eating.
Once finished, laminate them if you can, or just cover them with clear contact paper so they survive spills. It’s surprisingly satisfying when the table looks coordinated, even if it’s a casual backyard setup.
For an extra twist, write a few “table talk” prompts in the margins, like “Favorite Aussie animal?” or “Best beach snack?” so the placemat becomes part of the conversation.
5. Mini “Australia Day” Fact Booklet
Choose five or six pages that cover a mix of nature and icons, like Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, wattle, and a favorite animal or two. After coloring, add one or two simple facts to each page.
Keep it light and kid-friendly, like where something is found, what it’s known for, or why it’s special. If writing feels like a battle that day, drawing tiny “fact symbols” works too.
Stack the pages, fold if needed, then staple along the edge or tie with string through two hole punches. It turns a pile of printouts into a book we’ll actually flip through again later.
Have fun printing, coloring, and celebrating with these Australia Day coloring pages!
