10 Fun Activities & DIY Ideas with Your Poseidon Coloring Pages
These poseidon coloring sheets are just the beginning, so here are 10 creative ways to turn them into something even more epic.
1. Build an Underwater Diorama
This is a classic shoebox project. Have your kid color their favorite Poseidon page, then cut him out. Glue him inside a sideways shoebox. You can use crinkled blue cellophane for the water, cotton balls for sea foam, and maybe some glitter for magical bubbles. It creates a 3D scene that looks awesome on a shelf.
2. Create a Greek God Trading Card Set
My niece loves collecting cards, so we made our own mythology version. Color a small Poseidon image, glue it to a piece of cardstock, and trim it to the size of a baseball card. On the back, write down his stats: Power (Earthquakes), Weapon (Trident), and Domain (Ocean). You can combine this with our [Zeus coloring pages] and [Medusa coloring pages] to make a whole battle deck.
3. Make a Poseidon Paper Puppet
Color the figure, cut it out, and tape a popsicle stick or a sturdy drinking straw to the back. Now you have a puppet. Kids can act out the famous contest between Poseidon and Athena for the city of Athens, or just make up their own underwater stories. It keeps them busy way longer than just coloring.
4. Ocean Watercolor Wash Background
This is a super cool art trick. Color Poseidon heavily with wax crayons (press hard). Then, take blue or green watercolor paint and brush it over the entire page. The wax resists the water, so Poseidon pops right out while the background turns into a swirling ocean. It looks like magic every time.
5. Design Your Own Trident
Use the poseidon trident coloring page as a template for a costume prop. Trace the shape onto a piece of cardboard (an old cereal box works great), cut it out, and wrap it in aluminum foil. You can decorate the handle with blue ribbon or plastic gems. It’s perfect for Halloween or just Tuesday afternoon dress-up.
6. Mythology Story Sequencing
Print out three different scenes: maybe one of Poseidon rising from the sea, one in his palace, and one causing a storm. Have your child color them and arrange them in an order that tells a story. They can write a sentence or two under each picture. It’s a sneaky way to combine art class with literacy practice.
7. Make an Ocean Zone Poster
This is great for the science lovers. Color Poseidon and a bunch of sea creatures. Get a large blue poster board and divide it into the ocean zones (sunlight zone, twilight zone, midnight zone). Paste the creatures where they belong, with Poseidon right in the middle ruling over all of them. It connects mythology with actual marine biology.
8. Poseidon Bookmark
Print one of the standing portraits of Poseidon, color it, and cut it into a tall, thin strip. You can glue it to cardstock or laminate it with clear packing tape to make it waterproof. It makes the perfect placeholder for their mythology books.
9. Collaborative Wall Mural
If you have a group of kids or a classroom, print 5 or 10 different pages. Have each kid color one section. When they are done, tape them all together on a wall to create one giant underwater kingdom mural. It’s a great way to let everyone contribute to a big picture without fighting over crayons.
10. Treasure Map Activity
Color a page showing Poseidon’s underwater palace. Then, flip the paper over and draw a treasure map to Atlantis on the blank side. Add landmarks like “Poseidon’s Throne Room,” “The Trident Cave,” or the “Hippocampi Stables.” Then they can trade maps and try to follow the path. It turns the artwork into a game.
