But we didn’t stop at coloring. Over time, Lisa had the idea to turn her tractors into wall art. Mike turned his into a spinning puzzle. Before long, we had a whole collection of creative tractor crafts scattered around the house. So today, I’m sharing our top 7 tractor craft ideas that bring these coloring pages to life. Each one is packed with fun steps, personal tips, and little memories from our own family craft days. Whether it’s your first time coloring or you’re a craft pro, you’ll find something fun, easy, and meaningful to do together.

4. Tractor Paper Plate Wheel Craft
Materials Needed:

5. Tractor Shadow Craft
Materials Needed:
Black cardstock Tractor coloring pages Scissors Tape Small flashlight
Steps:
Genius Hack: Use colored flashlights or cellophane over a regular one for magical lighting effects. Change the angle to make the shadow “drive” across the wall.
