Color choices

This Māori performer holds a carved paddle before a meeting house decorated with detailed carvings. Color the feathered cloak in warm brown and cream tones, and give the paddle’s swirling patterns a rich reddish brown. Try soft gray for the carved gable figure above the doorway, and shade the grass at the performer’s feet a fresh green.

Compare paddle and gateways

Color the carved paddle’s swirls first, then use a complementary palette for the decorative gateways behind the performer.

Before you print

Māori Performer Holding Carved Paddle at Marae Coloring Page has about 281 separate areas to color, so it is a detailed page. Sharpened colored pencils or fine-tip markers reach the small spaces, and it is easy to color one section at a time.

The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
