Sushi Coloring Pages
Make free printable sushi coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: salmon nigiri on a board, three maki rolls, sushi platter, sushi bento box, sushi with chopsticks, two hand rolls, gunkan with fish roe, egg nigiri with a nori band, sushi with a soy sauce dish, sushi roll on a bamboo mat, sushi boat, smiling sushi friends, big simple sushi. Each kind is drawn the way it is made: nigiri with a slice of fish on a small block of rice, maki rolls with rice and fillings rolled in nori, gunkan with a band of nori round the rice and fish roe on top, and hand rolls as cones of nori filled with rice, fish and cucumber. The sushi sits on boards, plates, a bamboo mat or a boat platter, under a shop curtain or paper lanterns, with chopsticks, a soy sauce dish, wasabi and pickled ginger. They are our own drawings, not any restaurant, brand, film, book or cartoon food and not any mascot, and nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a sushi party table with a boat platter under balloons and stars, a fold-in-half card, or a sushi mandala with small sushi round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain sushi to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain nigiri with no lines on the fish or rice, so children can draw their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

The plain sushi has no fish lines or rice grains, for drawing your own. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.

Shapes are the closed outlines the tool draws for each picture at each level, counted by the tool. Simple keeps the sushi (rice, toppings, nori, fillings) and the board, plate, mat, boat, dish or table; Medium and Detailed add the smaller lines, such as the stripes on the fish, the rice grains, the fish roe and the wave pattern on the curtain.
Plain sushi to decorate
| Sushi per page | Each fits (US Letter) | Each fits (A4) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 186 mm square | 181 mm square |
| 2 | 120 mm square | 129 mm square |
| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each plain sushi is a nigiri with no lines (2 shapes: the topping and the rice), so the fish and any face are up to you.
Simple to detailed lines
| Lines | Outlines | Small details | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1.8 mm | 1.4 mm | Toddlers, chunky crayons, big markers |
| Medium | 1.1 mm | 0.8 mm | Most children, colored pencils |
| Detailed | 0.75 mm | 0.5 mm | Older children and adults, fine pens and pencils |
