10 Creative Activities to Do with Your Lightning McQueen Pages
Don’t just color—turn your artwork into a real championship race with these 10 ideas from Mia’s studio:
-
Cardboard Grand Prix: After coloring, glue McQueen onto cardstock and attach bottle-cap wheels. See whose car “travels” the farthest across the floor!
-
“Pro Racer” Door Sign: Color a small McQueen, cut him out, and paste your name next to him to hang on your bedroom door.
-
Sparkling Lightning Bolts: Use gold glitter glue on the number 95 and the lightning bolts. Your McQueen will shine like a true champion!
-
The Piston Cup Scavenger Hunt: Parents, hide the finished coloring pages around the house. The kids have to “tow” them back to the finish line like Mater.
-
Victory Flag: Glue your colored McQueen to a stick and add a checkered pattern to make a flag for your own backyard races.
-
“Super Speed” Birthday Cards: Fold your page in half and write: “Hope your birthday is fast and fun! Ka-chow!”
-
Desert Dust Effect: Use a little bit of brown chalk or cocoa powder rubbed at the bottom of the tires to make it look like McQueen is drifting through the dirt.
-
Racing Mask: Print a large-scale version of McQueen’s face, cut out the eyes (the windshield), and attach an elastic string for a fun costume.
-
Radiator Springs Window Art: Print on thin paper, color with bright markers, and tape it to a window so the sun lights up your favorite race car.
-
Speedy Jigsaw Puzzle: Cut your finished coloring page into several pieces and challenge a friend to put it back together in record time!
Fun Lightning McQueen Facts: Did You Know?
While your ink is drying, check out these “behind-the-scenes” secrets of the world’s favorite race car:
-
What’s in a Number?: The number 95 is a tribute to the year 1995, which is when Pixar’s first movie, Toy Story, was released!
-
A Special Name: McQueen was named after Glenn McQueen, a legendary Pixar animator.
-
No Real Headlights: In the first movie, McQueen didn’t have real headlights—they were just stickers! Professional race tracks are always lit up, so he didn’t need them.
-
Best Friends Forever: Even though he’s a world-famous superstar, McQueen considers Mater the tow truck his most loyal and best friend.
-
The Famous Catchphrase: The phrase “Ka-chow!” was actually improvised by the voice actor, Owen Wilson!
Mia’s Pro-Tips for “Champion” Coloring
-
Layered Red: Don’t just use one red crayon. Use a darker red or maroon near the bottom of the car and a brighter red on top to give him a 3D look.
-
Expressive Eyes: Remember, McQueen’s eyes are on his windshield! Use a very light blue or brown for the pupils to make him look like he’s looking right at you.
-
Glowing Bolts: Use a bright yellow-orange gradient for the lightning bolts to make them look like they are vibrating with speed.
