Retired Mississippi Flag with Diagonal Cross and 13 Stars

Retired Mississippi Flag with Diagonal Cross and 13 Stars coloring page

Coloring guide

A wide rectangular flag is drawn in clean black outline, with a square box in the upper left corner and three horizontal bands across the rest. Inside the square, a diagonal cross runs corner to corner. Thirteen small five-pointed stars sit along its arms, with one star in the center. Three of the stars are at each of the four ends of the cross. The right side has a short band at the top, a taller band in the middle, and a wide band along the bottom. Every area is large and open, so it works well for markers or crayons. For a classroom idea, have students count the stars and then talk about why state flags sometimes get redesigned over time. This free printable also pairs nicely with a lesson on reading flag symbols.
