Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 5–8
Estimated time: 15–25 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 25

Coloring order

Color the wedge shapes in the four corners deep blue and leave the white bands that run between them.
Color the thick cross in the middle red, keeping a white border around the red so it stands out.
Color the thin lines inside the diagonal bands red. Finish with the brown pole and the flowers on the hill.

Questions to talk about

Can you find triangles among the shapes the cross and the X make together?
What would the scene look like if this flag waved from the top of a tall building?
Have you spotted any plus shapes or X shapes around your home?

Take it further

Glue white paper strips onto blue paper as a plus and an X, then lay thinner red strips on top and notice the order the layers stack up.

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.
