Craft Ideas to Make With Kindness Coloring Pages

1. Kindness Appreciation Cards:

Spread kindness by making personalized gratitude cards.

Print coloring pages at 50% scale.  Color the designs and write thoughtful words and kindness quotes in the white space surrounding the pictures. 

Share these cards with friends, family, or even strangers. They’ll make someone smile! 

2. Collaborative Kindness Mural:

Create a collaborative mural that promotes kindness using free coloring pages. 

Print a large coloring page promoting kindness. Divide it into sections for different people to color. 

Combine all the pieces into a joint mural that showcases everyone's contributions toward sharing kind thoughts and messages.

3. Thumbprint Heart Artwork:

Spread love and kindness through the power of thumbprint art. 

Choose heart-shaped or sweet kindness coloring pages. Print them on sturdy paper suitable for finger painting. (You could also cut your coloring page into the shape of a heart after printing it.)

Dip your thumbs in paint and press gently onto specific areas of the design to create thumbprint hearts. 

Get creative and add details like kindness quotes and positive affirmations using colorful markers and glitter pens.

4. Gratitude Journals:

Transform coloring pages with inspiring messages of kindness into a personalized journal. 

Print coloring pages at 25-50% scale so there is extra white space around the design. 

Color each page. Use the extra white space for writing down what you’re grateful for, random acts of kindness you did that day, or your favorite positive affirmations. 

Bind the colored pages together using tape, glue, or string to create a gratitude journal. 

5. Kindness Memory Box:

Create a heartwarming keepsake with a handmade memory box. 

Color the printable coloring pages that depict examples of kindness or positive emotions. 

Write down acts of kindness or happy moments from your day on the back of your coloring page. Save them in a keepsake box to look back on over time. 

This is a great classroom activity to do with students to foster social-emotional learning. Plan a special time during the school day to review the coloring sheets and talk about how to be kind to others.

6. Positive Affirmation Wall Art:

Bring the power of kindness to your walls with DIY art made from coloring pages. 

Print coloring pages with uplifting affirmations and encouraging messages. Color them in, cut them out, and arrange them on canvas or poster board as a collage of positivity.

7. Examples of Warm-Heartedness Storybook:

Print drawings showing simple acts of kindness, then bind them together to create a social story. Check out our coloring pages for kids, nurse coloring pages, and friendship coloring pages for some ideas.

On the back of the pages, write descriptions of what is happening in the situation and how a person is embodying kind-heartedness.

Teachers can use the books to teach kids character development and build a positive classroom community.

8. Cross-Stitch Kindness Art:

Immerse yourself in a therapeutic crafting experience with cross-stitch kindness art. 

Download simple kindness coloring sheets and transfer the illustration to fabric. Cross-stitch over the designs using colorful threads, and frame your completed artwork as a reminder to practice kindness daily.

9. Kindness Handprint Wreath:

Share the message of kindness by hanging a handprint wreath on your door.

Print out coloring pages that show kind images or positive thoughts. Trace handprints on the coloring page and cut them out. Color each handprint with vibrant colors.

Hang it on your door to remind yourself and visitors that kindness matters.
