Lighthouse Coloring Pages

These 25 Lighthouse coloring pages will illustrate a recognizable structure that has existed for centuries. These pages are for people who love creativity and are passionate about the sea.

Lighthouses have long captured the imagination with their towering presence above the sea. They play the role of guiding ships through dangerous waters safely. Believe it or not, lighthouses weren’t always equipped with fancy electric lights. In the past, these lighthouse keepers relied on more straightforward methods for lighting, such as candles, fire or even oil lamps. Can you imagine how challenging it is to keep this fire burning bright for miles?

Children who have never seen a lighthouse in person or those with a passion for coloring can now learn and get creative with unique designs in our collection of coloring pages. You can choose classic lighthouse scenes with crashing waves and high-flying seagulls. Some images depict lighthouses standing nestled between rocky cliffs or horns on a beach full of sand. Many of the coloring pages include lighthouses, ships, whales, and neighboring tile-roofed houses.

You can find coloring pages for all ages and skill levels. Designs with simple details and bold lines are great for younger children, while complex images challenge older children and adults.

6 Exciting Activities By Using Lighthouse Coloring Pages

You can express your creativity through fun activities by taking advantage of our free lighthouse coloring sheets. See how unique and exciting your final work is!

Decorate A Card

The card with a lighthouse image will suit those who love exploring. First, you choose and print coloring pages with your favorite details at a size that fits on the card. Consider the occasion and the recipient’s preferences before making a choice.

Next, you will use available tools to color. You can use watercolor to create shadows and depth for more realistic images. The color scheme for surrounding images, such as waves crashing, seagulls flying in the sky and boats, also needs to be in harmony.

You can fill in the entire background of the coloring page and paste it on another piece of cardboard, like the image below. Take a moment to review the card and color the border to make it stand out.

Make A 3D Paper Lighthouse

The 3D paper lighthouse will be a unique decoration for the home or classroom. First, you’ll choose to print a lighthouse design with simple details and bold lines. Use vibrant colors to make the lighthouse stand out more.

After coloring, cut out the colored details. You will need a sheet of cardboard to make another copy of the lighthouse cutout. Cut a small piece of cardboard to make a durable base.

The next step is to glue another copy onto the base to make the back of the lighthouse. Your 3D craft is ready to display when the glue is completely dry. You can place it on a table or bookshelf to admire your unique work.

Create Stickers 

With the lighthouse image symbolizing hope and leading the way to safety, the sticker is a great choice to decorate many items. You will start the idea by coloring the lighthouse designs to your liking.

Cut the images from regular paper if the coloring pages are not already printed on sticker paper. Next, apply double-sided tape to the back of each image. Applying a thin layer of glue to the front will also help the designs be more durable and fade longer.

To create a sticker, you will cut each lighthouse shape and surrounding details. Finally, peel off the backing layer and stick it to any smooth surface.

Make A Glow- In-The-Night Picture

This craft project will be fun and help you unleash your imagination. First, you will color the lighthouse and the background around it. Because we want to create a photo that glows in the night, we need to choose a fluorescent marker.

Focus on areas of the image that you want to make stand out, such as the beam of light on top of a lighthouse, star, or window. This is when you show off your coloring skills by creating shading and depth.

Choosing a dark background is also a way to make the lighthouse the center. You will expose the painting to light for a few minutes. Finally, frame it, hang it on the wall and see how it glows in the dark.

Design  A Bookmark

To start this idea, you’ll use watercolors to fill in your chosen lighthouse design. This is your time to show off your creativity and artistic abilities. Cut out the colored images after painting.

You need to prepare a rectangular white cardboard. Then, arrange and paste the lighthouse image on this card to create a bookmark like the image below. Consider coloring the background of the bookmark to make it stand out.

Punch holes in the top of the bookmark to thread twine, ribbon or tassels through. Finally, look back at the unique handmade product you just created. It’s ready to use or give to a book-loving friend as a thoughtful gift.

Decorate A Nightlight

This is a creative and very practical craft idea for everyday life. In addition to the lighthouse coloring images, you will need a plastic box with a lid and a mini LED light.

To begin the activity, you will clean and dry the clear plastic container and lid first. Then, use scissors to cut the colored lighthouse images to the size of the plastic box lid and glue them on.

The next step is to place the LED light in the middle of the clear plastic box and use glue to fix it. Close the lid tightly on the clear plastic box.

When the lights are on, the light will shine through the painting and create a magical effect. These simple steps allow you to create a beautiful night lamp from cheap and easy-to-find materials.
