10 Creative Ideas to Turn Pokémon Coloring Pages into Family Adventures
1. Pokémon Puppet Show
Let’s kick things off with a puppet show—because what’s better than watching your kids argue over whether Charizard could beat a ketchup bottle in battle?
Start by printing Pikachu, Jigglypuff, or Meowth pages. Hand the kids markers, glitter, or even fabric scraps (my daughter once gave Squirtle a sequin shell, and honestly, it was iconic). Cut out the characters and use glue to fix them to popsicle sticks.
For durability, wrap them in clear packing tape—trust me, juice-box hands are inevitable. Use an old shoebox as a puppet theater, paint it like a Poké Center, and let the drama unfold.
My kid’s “Charizard vs. Toaster” saga still has more views in our family group chat than the actual anime.
2. Bookmark Your Favorites (Literally)
Losing your place in Harry Potter to a crumpled chip bag is a tragedy, so let’s fix that. Print Bulbasaur, Eevee, or Mew pages and color them in wild shades.
Cut them out with their arms or ears slightly extended so they can “hug” the book pages. Glue the cutouts to thick cardstock and laminate them (or cheat with clear contact paper). Bend those arms over the edge of a page—voilà, Bulbasaur’s vines now guard Chapter 12.
Add a tassel made from embroidery thread for a library-ready look. Scribble a mini Pokémon fact on the back, like “Did you know Squirtle’s shell is part of its skeleton?”—because nothing says “book club” like random creature biology.
3. Pokémon Desk Organizer Chaos
If your kitchen table looks like a crayon a graveyard, this one is for you. Save those empty toilet paper rolls and raid the recycling bin for a shoebox lid. Print Pikachu, Charmander, or Psyduck pages and let the kids go wild.
Cut out the characters and glue them to the rolls. Assemble the rolls upright in the shoebox lid—Pikachu holds pens, Charmander guards scissors, and Psyduck… well, he’s just there to judge your messy desk. Spray-paint the shoebox gold first for a “Legendary Treasure Chest” vibe.
4. DIY Pokémon Badges
Print badge templates or let kids design their own. Use gel pens to color them metallic—fiery oranges for the Volcano Badge, icy blues for the Glacier Badge. Glue the badges to cardboard, laminate them, and attach safety pins or Velcro. Host a family “Gym Battle” where kids earn badges for chores. Take out the trash? Congrats, here’s a Rainbow Badge!
Prepare for your child to demand you address them as “Elite Four Member Ethan” at dinner.
5. Pokémon Party Bags That Steal the Show
Forget store-bought bags—guests at my nephew’s party nearly rioted over the “Shiny Charizard” bag. Print Poké Ball or legendary Pokémon pages, cut them into decals, and glue them onto plain gift bags. Add felt ears for Pikachu, cotton-ball clouds for Rayquaza, or red pom-poms for Jigglypuff’s cheeks. Fill the bags with Pokémon-themed treats: “Potion” juice boxes or “Poké Puff” cookies.
Tiny guests will ask, “Can I keep the bag?!” and you’ll have to explain that no, Mewtwo is not a party favor.
6. Pokémon “Boredom Buster” Jar
This jar saved my sanity during a 14-hour snow day. Decorate a mason jar with cut-out Pokémon and fill it with craft sticks labeled “Build a LEGO Poké Ball” or “Draw Snorlax eating pizza.” Toss in a few “Parent Challenges” like “Make a Pikachu noise without laughing” to keep adults entertained.
7. Mini Pokémon Zines
Unleash your kid’s inner storyteller. Staple colored pages into a booklet and let them scribble speech bubbles like “Squirtle, why’d you eat my fries?!” My daughter wrote a saga about Pikachu opening a cupcake shop—it’s the Citizen Kane of Pokémon fanfiction.
You can also shrink the pages to create pocket-sized zines. Trade them with friends—it’s like Pokémon cards.
8. Pokémon Gift Wrap
I once wrapped a baby shower gift in Jigglypuff paper. The mom said it was the only part her toddler didn’t try to eat. Print oversized Poké Ball or Mewtwo pages and wrap gifts like candy bars or books. Use washi tape to secure the edges—no sticky globs!
Recipients might refuse to unwrap it. “But it’s too cute!” they’ll say, and you’ll have to guiltily admit it took longer to make than the actual gift.
9. Trash Can Makeover
Glue a grumpy Gengar to a dollar-store mini trash can, and suddenly tossing gum wrappers feels epic. Print Gengar, Haunter, or Mimikyu pages, color them, and laminate the cutouts.
Attach them to the trash can with Mod Podge (unless you want Gengar’s face peeling off mid-toss). Add cardboard spikes or ribbon for flair.
This is probably the coolest thing a mom can make for her kids (besides mac and cheese).
10. Pokémon Pyramid
Turn sibling rivalry into sibling artistry. Print triangular Pokémon scenes, color them, and glue them into a pyramid on poster board.
Use binder clips as scaffolding while the glue dries. Sneak in math by asking, “How many triangles do we need for the base?” and watch them debate while secretly learning.
