About these american flag coloring pages
A flag is a wonderful first coloring subject because the shapes are already drawn for you: thirteen long stripes and a field of stars. The easy pages give you the flag flat and face on, a single big star, a flag on a short pole and a folded triangle, all with thick outlines and wide bands to fill.
The rest of the set puts the flag to work. Flying from a porch, rippling on a pole, held in a parade, planted at a picnic, and paired with eagles, shields, drums and fireworks. Detailed pages add wreaths, mandalas and finely feathered eagles for older colorers. Every page prints free on US Letter or A4 as a PDF or a PNG.
Coloring tips and activities
- Colour the stripes alternately and leave every other one white — the flag reads correctly even before you touch the star field.
- Do the star field first. It has the most small shapes, and the stripes go quickly afterwards.
- On the waving flags, follow the curve of each stripe rather than colouring straight across, and the cloth looks like it is moving.
- Leave the sky pale on the outdoor scenes so the flag stays the brightest thing on the page.
