About these fourth of july coloring pages

Flags, fireworks, picnics and parades fill these Fourth of July coloring pages, and every design is free of lettering and numbers. Ages 3 to 5 can color a waving flag or a striped top hat. Ages 6 to 8 get kids watching fireworks from a hill and a child pulling a decorated wagon, and kids 9 and up get a hometown parade and fireworks over a lake.

Teens and adults can try the stars-and-fireworks mandala or the bald eagle soaring past the flag. Bring a stack of 4th of July coloring pages and crayons to a picnic or the long wait before the evening fireworks; they pack flat and keep kids busy in the shade.

Also in summer coloring pages.

Fourth of July facts to share

  1. The Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
  2. The US flag has 13 stripes for the original colonies and 50 stars, one for each state.
  3. Philadelphia celebrated the first anniversary of independence in 1777 with fireworks and ringing bells.

Color idea: Stick to red, white and navy for a classic look, leave the white stripes and stars uncolored, and let gold or silver gel pens trace the firework sparks.

Fourth of July coloring page questions

Why don't the flags have words or dates?

Lettering and numbers are left out of every design so the pages print cleanly and stay easy for young children to color. Kids can add a date or a message in the margin if they want to keep the page as a summer keepsake.

Which Fourth of July page suits toddlers?

The waving flag and the striped top hat with a firework are the easy designs. Each has one main object with big stripes and stars, so ages 3 to 5 can practice staying inside wide spaces with red and blue crayons.

How can I make the fireworks look bright?

Color the sky around each burst dark blue or black, but leave a little white at the center of every firework. Then add rays of red, gold and blue outward. The contrast makes the bursts seem to sparkle.
