Free Moana coloring pages: 19 printable PDF designs featuring Moana, the demigod Maui, the pig Pua, the rooster HeiHei, and characters from both films, including Moana’s little sister Simea and the new character Matangi from Moana 2.

Moana is a Disney animated film first released in 2016, telling the story of a young Polynesian girl who sails across the ocean to save her island. The sequel, Moana 2, was released in November 2024 and continued her voyage across the Pacific. These coloring pages draw on both films, bringing together the familiar faces of the first movie and the new characters and scenes of the second. With portraits, action poses, and ocean scenes, the collection gives children a wide range of bright, sea-themed pages that connect to a story they know and love.
The collection ranges from simple baby Moana pages for younger children to detailed character and scene pages for older fans. Because the films are rich with bright tropical color, ocean blues, and warm island tones, these pages give children both recognizable colors to follow and plenty of room for their own creative choices.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 19 pages cover several styles, so there is something for every age and skill level.
Moana and Maui
Several pages feature the two main characters, including a Moana portrait, Moana dancing with her paddle, Moana’s magic, and Maui from Moana 2. These central characters have clear, recognizable designs that suit a wide range of ages.
Animal Friends
The pig Pua and the rooster HeiHei appear on several pages, including Pua and HeiHei walking together. These friendly animal pages have simple, rounded shapes that work well for younger children.
Moana 2 Characters and Scenes
New pages from the second film include Moana with her sister Simea, the character Matangi, a Moana 2 character group, and Moana with Te Fiti. These connect the collection to the latest movie.
Baby Moana and Fun Pages
Several pages show Moana as a baby, including baby Moana with Pua and baby Moana as a princess. There are also playful themed pages, giving younger fans simple, sweet designs to color.
What Moana Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. These pages support a wide range. A young child fills the simple shape of baby Moana, while an older child manages the detail of an ocean scene with several characters.
Color recognition. The main characters have recognizable colors, such as Moana’s red skirt and brown hair, Maui’s tattoos and leaf skirt, and the bright blue ocean. Coloring these pages helps children match remembered colors, while open scenes invite free color choice.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. The detailed ocean and character scenes provide the kind of focused, absorbing task associated with the study’s calming findings, making them a relaxing activity.
Cultural curiosity. The films are inspired by Polynesian culture and the Pacific islands. Coloring canoes, the ocean, and island scenes can spark gentle curiosity about the wider world, making the pages a starting point for simple conversations about places and cultures.
How to Color Moana Pages Well
- Moana: Use brown for her flowing hair, a warm tan for her skin, and a red skirt with a cream top. Crayola “Brick Red” for the skirt and “Mahogany” for the hair give her a recognizable look.
- Maui: Color his skin a warm brown, his hair black, and his skirt green leaves. Leave his tattoos as dark outlines, or fill them lightly with gray, so they stand out against his skin.
- The ocean: Build the sea with two blues, a lighter “Sky Blue” near the surface and a deeper “Blue” below, with white tips on the waves to suggest movement.
- Pua and HeiHei: Color Pua the pig soft pink with darker spots, and HeiHei the rooster white with a red comb and a few bright tail feathers.
- Tropical scenes: Use warm yellows, oranges, and greens for islands, sand, and palm leaves to capture the bright tropical setting of the films.
- Design your own: The ocean and island scenes have no single correct palette, so children can invent their own sunset or magical water colors for a creative version.
