Although plenty of us are feeling not-so patriotic during this year of pandemic plus protests (and/or already celebrated America’s diversity on Juneteenth and are ready to call it a day) the Fourth of July remains a day of celebration for many Americans. And hey, what’s not to like about food, fun, and fireworks — and a day off? But you can’t spend the entire Fourth day and night outdoors (not in this July heat at least). In between backyard games and grilling, let kids take a break and still keep busy with these printable Fourth of July coloring pages.
We’ve created festive Fourth printouts featuring patriotic pictures of soaring bald eagles, firecrackers, American flags and even an old-timey Fourth of July parade. You’ll also find activity pages where kids can help each other through a Fourth of July word search and name the 50 states as they color in our printable U.S. map. Not only are kids unleashing their creative side, but they’re also using their minds to solve puzzles and learn geography. We’d consider that a win-win, wouldn’t you?
Stock up on your festive kid-friendly art supplies (and, you know, your red and blue crayons) — you’re going to need ’em.
