Mardi Gras Coloring Pages and Masks to Color

Mardi Gras coloring pages are great fun for children and adults. Decorate a Mardi Gras coloring sheet with the official colors of Mardi Gras - gold, purple, green. Color a fantasy mask for your favorite Mardi Gras parade or a masquerade party for Fat Tuesday fun. Kids will enjoy learning about New Orleans, King cakes, jazz, Cajun culture and "krewes" with Mardi Gras coloring activities.

Mardi Gras / Fat Tuesday in the United States is about music, celebration, parades, food and masquerade. Printable coloring sheets with any of these themes are ideal for Mardi Gras coloring crafts. Kids will enjoy coloring Mardi Gras pictures and crafts while they learn about the celebration and the city that hosts the most famous Mardi Gras party in the USA, New Orleans.

Mardi Gras is not just about New Orleans, however. There are many related cultural celebrations that occur worldwide between Epiphany (January 6) and Lent, including Fastnacht, Carnivale, Shrove Tuesday and Fat Tuesday to name only a few. Grab your markers, crayons and colored pencils then explore all the possibilities for making merry with Mardi Gras coloring fun.

Mardi Gras Official Colors 

For Mardi Gras coloring, be sure to use lots of gold, green and purple

Green, gold and purple are the colors of Mardi Gras. The official Mardi Gras colors were selected in 1872, and in 1892, the Rex Parade theme gave them their symbolic meaning.

Purple represents Justice
Green represents Faith
Gold represents Power

When not in costume, Mardi Gras celebrants try to wear the official colors. Many party and parade-goers wear colorful beads, masks and hats adorned with sparkly glitter, sequins and feathers in the colors of Mardi Gras.
