Otter coloring pages are more than just coloring—kids can turn them into fun crafts, learning games, and amazing water adventures. Here are some playful otter activity ideas:

Create a “Holding Paws” Wall Art

- Add a border of shells, sequins, or drawn bubbles.
- This makes a sweet friendship or family poster!
Make an Otter Puppet Show

- Carefully cut them out and tape them to craft sticks or straws.
- Use a table turned on its side as a stage and act out an otter’s day in the river or ocean.
Design “Lunchtime” Place Mats

Otter’s Furry Texture Art
- Color an otter, focusing on its thick fur.
- Use brown or gray yarn, cotton balls, or soft fabric scraps.
- Glue the fuzzy materials onto the otter’s body to give it a fluffy, warm texture, just like its real coat that keeps it dry.
River vs. Ocean Habitat Sort
- Color river and sea otter coloring pages.
- Draw two large circles on a piece of poster board: label one “River” and one “Ocean.”
- Have your child sort the cut-out otters into the right homes to learn where each type lives.
The Cozy Holt Den

- Use a small box or a brown paper bag and decorate it with real twigs, moss, or paper leaves.
