Easy Ways to Celebrate Mardi Gras with Kids
Need some simple, print-and-go activities to help you celebrate Mardi Gras (also known as Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday) with kids? These coloring pages are perfect ways to take your holiday fun to the next level!
Mardi Gras is such a wonderful time and fantastic opportunity to teach your kids about this holiday. With my boys, I love to use simple printable activities, like word searches or coloring pages, to kick off new learning adventures.
Last year, I created and shared these Mardi Gras color by number pages. My boys had so much fun working on activities so I decided that we needed more easy ways to boost our celebration.
That's why I've added these free printable Mardi Gras coloring pages to our holiday fun collection!

Creative Ideas for Taking These Coloring Pages to the Next Level
Let's make the most of your learning fun with these Mardi Gras coloring sheets! Here are some of my favorite ways to use them with kids of all ages.
Have a variety of coloring tools ready for your kids to choose from as they customize these printable pages. We especially love using traditional Mardi Gras colors! Crayons, colored pencils, and fine-tip markers are fantastic materials to have available.
Want to create lasting decorations? Try printing these coloring pages on white cardstock. Once your kids have finished coloring, they can cut out their favorite objects and create a wonderful Mardi Gras Day poster.
One of our favorite activities is pairing these coloring pages with our free printable Mardi Gras word search. My boys love using the word list to identify and label all the Mardi Gras objects they color.
Don't forget about the back of the pages! Younger kids can draw their own versions of the Mardi Gras items or practice tracing the outlines of the objects. Older students might enjoy writing sentences and adding interesting facts they've learned about Mardi Gras.
