Waving American Flag with Sun and Clouds

A flag on a slanted pole waves across the middle of the page, with a smiling-free round sun drawn in the upper left and short rays spreading out around it. In the flag's top corner you can count seven outlined stars, and the rest of the flag is made of wavy horizontal stripes that curl at the right end. Puffy clouds sit in the top right, bottom left and bottom right corners. The shapes are big and the lines are clean, so younger kids can color inside them without much trouble. Try asking children to color the stripes in red and white, fill the star box in blue, then count the seven stars out loud together. The page is free to print, and it works well for a 4th of July classroom table or a quiet afternoon at home.
