Fun Things To Do With Your Mardi Gras Coloring Pages
Once your Mardi Gras coloring pages are beautifully colored, the fun doesn’t have to stop there! Here are some creative and easy DIY projects you can make using your finished sheets. These ideas are perfect for teachers, parents, or anyone looking to add a little more sparkle to their Mardi Gras celebration.
1. Mardi Gras Masks
Turn your completed coloring sheets into dazzling Mardi Gras masks! Print out one of the mask templates and color it using bright purples, greens, and golds. Once finished, cut out the mask and glue it onto thick cardstock for sturdiness. Punch holes on the sides and tie string or ribbon so it can be worn. Add sequins, glitter, or feathers for extra flair. Kids can proudly wear their handmade masks at a classroom party or family parade.
2. Parade Float Decorations
Mardi Gras parades are famous for their over-the-top floats, and now you can create miniature versions using your coloring sheets! After coloring your favorite images—like jesters or crowns—cut them out and glue them onto a small cardboard box. Add streamers, pom-poms, and pipe cleaners to decorate. You can even place toy figures on top as float riders. Line up everyone’s creations for a mini indoor parade!
3. Mardi Gras Bunting or Banner
Use your finished coloring sheets to make a festive banner. Cut each page into triangle or flag shapes and punch holes at the top. Thread a long piece of string through the holes to connect them. Hang the banner along a wall, doorway, or across your party table. The bright colors and fun images will make any space feel like Bourbon Street!
4. DIY Party Invitations
Make your own Mardi Gras invitations! Print and color smaller designs like masks or fleur-de-lis and glue them onto folded cardstock. Write your party details inside—time, date, and location—and add glitter or stickers. It’s a personal and creative way to invite friends to your Mardi Gras celebration.
5. King Cake Placemats
Turn your coloring sheets into placemats for your Mardi Gras feast. After coloring, laminate each page or cover it with clear contact paper to protect it from spills. These placemats work great for parties or snack time. Add each child’s name to make everyone’s place extra special!
6. Classroom Door Display
Teachers can turn students’ completed coloring pages into a stunning classroom display. Have each child color a different sheet, then arrange them around a big “Happy Mardi Gras!” sign. Add paper beads and streamers for decoration. It’s an easy, low-cost way to bring the carnival spirit into school.
7. Mardi Gras Collage Poster
Combine multiple coloring sheets into one big collage. Cut out your favorite parts—like crowns, masks, and trumpets—and glue them onto a large poster board. Overlap and layer the pieces to make it colorful and bold. Hang it up as a festive decoration at home or school.
8. Paper Crowns and Headbands
Turn your colored pages into wearable Mardi Gras crowns! Use a long strip of cardstock as the base, and glue colored cutouts—like jewels or feathers—from your finished pages. Adjust the crown size to fit, then tape or staple the ends together. These homemade crowns are great for pretend play or party photo booths.
9. Mardi Gras Greeting Cards
Create handmade greeting cards to share Mardi Gras cheer. Fold a colored page in half and write a festive message inside like “Happy Mardi Gras!” or “Let the Good Times Roll!” Decorate the outside with extra drawings, glitter, or stickers. These cards are great for gifting or classroom exchanges.
10. Bead Toss Game
Bring parade fun indoors with a bead toss game! Color and cut out several images—masks, crowns, or beads—and tape them to small paper cups. Set the cups on a table and try tossing Mardi Gras beads or small balls into them. Each image can have different point values for a fun, friendly competition!
11. Mardi Gras Scrapbook
Use your coloring pages as the background for a Mardi Gras scrapbook. Add photos from your celebration, event tickets, and small keepsakes like beads or feathers. The colorful designs make perfect themed pages for capturing memories from parades or parties.
12. Window Decorations
After coloring, tape your Mardi Gras sheets to windows for a stained-glass look. Use bright markers or translucent paints to make the colors pop in sunlight. It’s an easy way to brighten up your home or classroom during carnival season.
13. Table Centerpieces
Make fun table decorations by rolling your finished coloring pages into cones or wrapping them around jars. Fill them with beads, feathers, or flowers in Mardi Gras colors—purple, green, and gold. Place one on each table or group several together for a festive centerpiece.
