Coloring order

On the map of the UK, the biggest island is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Follow its shape in navy or red from the flag above.
Color the piece set apart on the left and the small islands scattered along the top in the same color as the big land.
As you color the small islands, dot each one to be sure none is missed, and try switching one island to the flag's red.

Questions to talk about

How is the top of the big island different from the bottom?
If you picked one small island to build a house on, what kind of house would it be?
Have you ever been somewhere surrounded by water, like an island?

Take it further

Make a big island and several small ones from modeling clay, set them on a tray, and spread a blue cloth around them for the sea.

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.
