Cinco de Mayo is a lively holiday filled with music, dancing, and bright colors — the perfect inspiration for a fun set of coloring pages! To help families and classrooms celebrate, I’ve created a collection of free Cinco de Mayo coloring pages that are designed for kids of all ages. Coloring is a wonderful way to join in the excitement of the day while also learning more about the traditions that make this holiday so special.
While often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo actually celebrates the victory of the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Today, it’s a holiday that’s widely celebrated with parades, mariachi music, delicious food, and colorful decorations. These coloring pages capture that festive energy with designs featuring papel picado banners, traditional clothing, and dancing scenes. Each page gives kids the chance to bring the holiday to life with their own creative touch.
These sheets are also versatile and easy to use for different occasions. Parents can print them out for a fun afternoon craft, teachers can use them to introduce Mexican culture in classrooms, and they’re perfect for party activities where kids can sit together and color while joining in the celebration. Add crayons, markers, or even a little glitter, and you’ve got a fun way to keep kids engaged while honoring the spirit of the holiday.
Whether you celebrate Cinco de Mayo every year or are just starting to introduce the holiday to your children, these coloring pages are a simple and festive way to join in. Just print them out, let imaginations run wild, and enjoy a splash of color that reflects the joy and energy of Cinco de Mayo.
Simply press the “download” button below the coloring page to quickly access and print your free printable. No email is required and no purchase is necessary. These printables come out best on a standard A4 size paper.
