A fancy feather crest, a strong hooked beak, and all the colors of the rainforest – our printable parrot mask is a total color party. Color it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free parrot mask template brings tropical fun to preschool, dress-up, and any jungle party.
Why This Parrot Mask Gets So Colorful
The crest of big feathers on top practically begs for a different color on every feather. A few wide feather bands give small hands big, easy spaces to fill. The large curved beak right in the middle makes it clear this is a parrot. This is the mask where every crayon in the box gets a turn.

Play Ideas for Little Parrots
Play Parrot Talk: one child says a silly word, and all the parrots repeat it. In Color Flight, parrots flap over to something in the room that matches the color you call out. Set chairs in a circle as a tree where parrots perch and hop from branch to branch. Then gather paper nuts into a basket for a parrot snack.
Fun Facts About Parrots
There are hundreds of kinds of parrots, and many of them live in warm rainforests. Their strong, curved beaks crack hard nuts and seeds, and parrots even use them like a third hand when climbing. Each foot has two toes pointing forward and two pointing back, perfect for gripping branches. Some parrots can copy sounds and words. Large parrots can live a very long time, some for several decades.
