A big fan of peacock feathers, each with a glowing eye pattern – our printable peacock mask is a true showstopper. Color it, decorate it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free peacock mask template is perfect for a masquerade ball, Mardi Gras, and art class.
Why This Peacock Mask Is So Stunning
The big feather fan on top is the star and really comes alive in blue, green, and teal. The eye patterns on each feather are drawn as circles, so you can color them ring by ring in different shades. That creates the classic shimmering peacock effect. For kids 9 and up and teens, it's a project where patience pays off with a dazzling result.

Fun Facts About Peacocks
The dazzling feathers belong to the male peafowl, called a peacock. His long display feathers carry big, shimmering eyespots. When he raises and fans them out, he's showing off to impress the females. The female, called a peahen, has plainer brown feathers that help her stay hidden while she sits on her eggs. The Indian peafowl comes from India and Sri Lanka and is India's national bird.
