Marching Colonial Soldier With Musket, Flag and Eagles

A colonial soldier in a tricorn hat strides across the middle of this page, holding a long musket with a bayonet angled up over his shoulder. He wears a buttoned coat with a belt, tall boots, and a ponytail tied at the back. Behind him, inside a rope-style frame, a flag with stars and stripes waves beside a firework burst and puffy clouds. The words JULY-4th run across the top. On each side, an eagle with spread wings stands on a shield with three stars and vertical stripes. A row of thirteen stars lines the bottom edge. Try counting the thirteen stars with your kids and talk about the original colonies, then color the flag, shields, and stars in red, white, and blue. This free printable also has plenty of small spaces for crayons or colored pencils.
