Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 8

Coloring order

Color the green Y-shaped band first. Follow it from the left where it splits in two, meets in the middle and runs on to the right edge.
Color the box above the Y red and the box below it a deep blue, and leave the thin white bands on both sides of the Y.
Color the triangle at the left end black, then use a fine pencil for the thin yellow band around it at the very end.

Questions to talk about

Where does the Y-shaped band split, and where do the two arms join up?
How does it feel when many colors come together on one flag?
Have you ever made something with friends using lots of different colors?

Take it further

Glue colored paper strips into a Y shape to make a road, send a small toy along it, and say which colors it passes.

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.

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.
