Have Fun with Giant Coloring Pages

December 30, 2025 by Sarah White 1 Comment

If you’re reading this around the time I published it, we’re in that kind of lull period where many people aren’t at work, the kids aren’t at school and no one knows quite what to do with themselves. It’s the prefect time for spending all day reading, doing puzzles, or breaking out a giant coloring page. 

If you have a printer and coloring tools, you can entertain the whole family with some of these supersized coloring pages. And of course these are great any time of year no matter when this post finds you. 

Hattifant has a variety of large coloring pages mostly for various holidays, like this giant heart that’s great for Valentine’s Day or any other time of year. But some of them aren’t as seasonal, like this one called kitty on the plant shelf. It’s a full 18 pages to print out, so that should keep you going for a while.

The Crafting Chicks has four free printable tablecloth sized coloring pages that are more like adult coloring pages with flowers, feather shapes and geometric shapes. They suggest sending the files to a print shop so the pattern can be printed all in one piece, which makes sense but I would probably try to print these at home all the same.

I love this doodles giant coloring page from Academy Print Shop on Etsy (which also recommends professional printing). This one looks like one that kids would really enjoy coloring and adding their own little doodles to. 

If you’d prefer a giant coloring page that comes printed, try the giant 6 foot mandala coloring page from Tiny Expressions Store. This one is printed on a no-bleed paper so you can use markers, crayons, gel pens or even paint, or a combination of all of the above. 

Or try this pretty butterfly coloring page form Craftatopia. This one is 6 feet by 3 feet and the description says it uses premium paper suitable for markers, crayons and colored pencils. My butterfly loving kiddo would love this one!

    My kids and I are going to have so much fun with these giant coloring pages. We work on them as a family while watching movies.

Easy Lacing Cards to Make for Kids

Lacing is a great fine motor activity, and most kids go through a phase where they enjoy working with lacing cards. It helps promote focus and is a great quiet activity for kids to do in the car or to fill time in the classroom. And of course knowing how to lace is the beginning of knowing how to sew, which is great for all kids to learn (more on teaching kids to sew here). 

There are lots of ways to make your own lacing cards. This one is just a pin but it’s easy to make lacing cards with any shape a child is into using cardboard and a nail to poke the holes. This could be fun for letter and number recognition or spelling the child’s name.  Or try this version from Hey Azka, which uses a hole punch to make bigger holes so you can lace with shoe laces. 

You can also just do lacing cards with paper, but it’s a great idea to print them on card stock and/or laminate them to make them sturdier for little hands. Homeschool Share has a set of alphabet lacing cards, which are free with email signup. Deceptively Educational has a set of number lacing cards with numbers 0 to 10. 

Picklebums has some basic shape lacing cards, too.

Living Life and Learning has a bunch of cute printable lacing cards, including back to school designs, shoes kids can lace and learn to tie and ocean themed lacing cards. She also has tips for making your own lacing cards.

A Rose Tinted World made their lacing cards with craft foam, which makes them a little more durable than paper and you can cut it more easily than cardboard. They used a die cutting machine but you can also cut shapes by hand. 

I also love the cat and mouse cards from Seam Whisperer. They also have some spring themed designs. So cute!

If you want to make lacing cards that are more open ended, check out this tutorial form Pretty Life Girls to make lacing cards that are more like geo boards. Theirs are made with wood but you can also do this with cardboard, craft foam or card stock.
