Activities to Do With American Flag Coloring Pages
Coloring is just the start of the fun. Once your kids have finished their masterpieces, try these engaging activities to extend the learning and creativity.
Create a Fourth of July Bunting
Print out several copies of the simple flag designs. After coloring them in, cut the flags out and tape them to a long piece of twine or ribbon. Hang this homemade bunting across your porch, living room, or fence to decorate for your Independence Day barbecue.
Thank You Cards for Veterans
Turn your coloring pages into heartfelt greeting cards. Fold the colored page in half (or glue it to construction paper) and have your child write a thank you note inside. You can deliver these to a local VA hospital or veterans’ nursing home to brighten someone’s day.
Tissue Paper Mosaics
Instead of using crayons, let your kids use small squares of tissue paper. Have them glue red, white, and blue squares onto the flag outline. This creates a cool 3D textured effect and helps younger children practice their fine motor skills.
Patriotic Place Mats
If you are hosting a Memorial Day or July 4th dinner, use the finished coloring pages as place mats. You can even laminate them so they can be wiped down and reused. It adds a festive touch to the table that guests will love.
History Scavenger Hunt
Use the detailed scenes (like the Moon Landing or Washington Monument) as part of a history lesson. Hide the coloring pages around the house or classroom. When the kids find a page, read a fun fact about that specific historical event or landmark before they color it.
Red, White, and Blue Puzzle
After your child finishes coloring a page, glue it onto a piece of thin cardboard (like a cereal box). Draw puzzle shapes on the back and cut them out. Now your child has a custom patriotic puzzle they can put together again and again.
