Mardi Gras stands in big hollow capitals at the top of this Mardi Gras coloring page. Under the letters, a masquerade mask decorated with swirls and small diamonds carries a fan of tall feathers on its left side, fixed with a round clasp. Strands of round beads loop below the mask, and a fleur-de-lis sits at the center of the lower strand. The page is an intermediate one for ages 6 to 10, with fine swirls inside the mask.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words Mardi Gras in big hollow letters at the top of the page, above a masquerade mask with tall feathers on one side, decorated with swirls and small diamonds, with strings of round beads hanging below it, centered on the page with a wide white border on both sides, drawn with clean bold outlines, the beads kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below them, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

Mardi Gras, also called Fat Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday, and in 2027 it falls on Tuesday, February 9. A teacher can add the page to the class calendar for that week or set it out for a quiet table after recess. At home, a family can color it while a king cake, the cake of the Carnival season, waits on the table.
