Coloring order

Color the vertical band next to the pole deep blue first, and leave the middle band white.
Color the outer vertical band red, following the wavy lines so the color stays inside the flag's curves.
Finish with a brown pole, a yellow ball on top and the flowers on the hill in any colors you like.

Questions to talk about

How do the three tall stripes wiggle when the wind blows?
If you could add a fourth stripe, what color would you pick?
Can you find something at home that has red, white and blue together?

Take it further

Glue three sheets of colored paper side by side to make a striped flag, then swap the order and talk about how it feels different.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

A reference showing the colors of the flag. Match the colors as you paint. It sits on the left page of a spread.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
