Free Maki Food Colouring Worksheet for Kids

Description

Unroll the fun with this Maki Food Coloring Worksheet! It’s a simple yet engaging colouring page that introduces kids to the delicious world of Japanese sushi, while helping them practise fine motor skills and explore colours.

What’s Inside

• A big, bold outline of a maki roll—clear and easy to colour

• The word “Maki” at the top in large, friendly letters

• Simple shapes and minimal lines so kids can focus on colouring without getting overwhelmed

• Plenty of white space around the image for easy colouring, cutting, or even decorating

Why It’s Useful

• Skill-building: Improves colour recognition, pencil/crayon control, staying within the lines

• Cultural learning: Kids can learn what “maki” is, expanding their food-vocabulary

• Calming activity: Great as part of downtime, early childhood centres, or home-school relaxing tasks

• Creative expression: They can experiment with colours (rice, seaweed, fillings) or even add creative touches like faces or backgrounds

How to Use It

1. Print the page on standard paper (A4 works well)

2. Choose your tools—crayons, coloured pencils, markers

3. Talk about what colours traditional maki might have: white for rice, dark green/black for nori (seaweed), colours for fillings (e.g. pink, orange, green)

4. Colour in the outlines—start from the inside (filling) outwards to avoid smudging

5. Optional extras:

   • Cut the picture out and use it for a food-art collage

   • Add a background or other sushi pieces to make a “sushi roll party” scene

6. Display the finished art: fridge, classroom wall, scrapbook
