The koru is a prominent Māori pattern that represents the unfurling of a new fern frond, symbolising new life, growth, peace, and harmony. Our koru colouring pages offer various versions of this iconic pattern, allowing your child's creativity to blossom while learning about its significance.

Other common Māori patterns include complex geometric shapes, swirling spirals, and stylised plant and animal motifs. Each design is rich in symbolism, providing ample opportunities for your child to explore the intricacies of Māori art.
