Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 7–10
Estimated time: 15–25 min
Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 30

Coloring order

Color the top band orange like a tangerine and the bottom band green, leaving the white middle band open around the wheel.
Slowly trace the outer rim of the wheel in the middle with a deep navy, going all the way around in a smooth circle.
Color the thin spokes inside the wheel one by one with a sharp pencil, or fill the narrow gaps between the spokes in navy.

Questions to talk about

Where do the spokes of the wheel stretch out to from the center?
If this wheel started rolling, how far would you like it to go?
Do you remember how the spokes looked when a bicycle wheel spun?

Take it further

Fold a paper plate and open it again, then draw spokes from the center to the edge along the creases to make your own wheel picture.

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.

About this 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.
