Top 5 Crafts to Create with Barbie Coloring Pages
As my kids love playing with paper dolls, designing castles, and inventing stories, I decided to turn their passion into creative learning activities. Using cut-outs from finished Barbie coloring pages, we created charming DIY crafts to decorate our home, organize role-playing games, and make everyday learning more exciting.
Stick Puppets
Turn Barbie coloring pages into adorable stick puppets for a homemade puppet theater. Encourage your kids to invent original stories featuring Barbie, Ken, and their friends. My daughter loved this project so much that she invited her friends to join in. Together, they created imaginative plays filled with surprising twists and lots of laughter.
For their first performance, my daughter chose a Barbie dressed as a princess, while her friend made a Ken puppet. They even used a large image of Barbie’s Dreamhouse as the backdrop. Each scene showed Barbie in a new outfit, making the story dynamic and engaging.
Pencil Control Tracing Worksheets
If your child gets bored with traditional worksheets, decorate them with cut-out characters from Barbie coloring pages. These familiar faces make tracing activities more fun and motivating. My daughter often starts narrating stories about the characters while practicing her lines, which helps her stay focused and finish faster.
This playful approach boosts confidence, improves pencil control, and makes learning feel like a game rather than a task. It’s a great way to prepare kids for school without pressure.
Paper Stickers
Create cute DIY stickers using Barbie coloring pages. Cut out the characters, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, seal them with transparent tape or Mod Podge. If you have sticker paper, you can print the designs directly on it to simplify the process.
Another option is to laminate the stickers at a local print shop to make them more durable. My kids used their handmade stickers to decorate furniture and notebooks, adding a bright and personal touch to their room.
Dreamhouse Worksheet
This activity offers a wonderful glimpse into your child’s imagination and dreams. Create a worksheet with an empty house outline and let your kids fill it with cut-outs from their favorite Barbie coloring pages. Ask them to imagine their dream home and the people they want to live with.
This exercise encourages emotional expression and creativity while helping parents understand their children better. If your child struggles to verbalize their thoughts, gently guide them with open-ended questions.
Posters with Inspirational Quotes
Barbie has inspired generations of kids to be brave, kind, and confident. Print Barbie coloring pages in a large format and turn them into motivational posters. Your kids can decorate them with cut-outs, glitter, or handwritten quotes from their favorite movies—or even invent their own.
These posters are perfect for decorating bedrooms or play areas, allowing kids to express their personality and feel proud of their creativity.
