American Flag Coloring Pages & Templates
The flag of the United States of America is the most recognizable symbol of the USA and is steeped in history. Having gone through several design changes through the years, its current design is unmistakable in representing “the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” The US flag is a predominant emblem displayed on several national holidays, such as Memorial Day, the 4th of July (aka Independence Day), and Veteran’s Day. But it is also flown on a daily basis in front of government buildings, public schools, sporting venues, businesses, and individual homes. When citizens of the USA sing or listen to the National Anthem they face the flag. Children in schools across the country also face the flag while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. While in school, children also learn about each part of the flag and what each represents – the number of stars, stripes, colors, etc.
Below, we have a number of free printable American Flag Coloring Pages and Templates to use in a variety of ways!:

Do you know what each element of the flag represents? Let’s refresh your memory, I bet you know!
The stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies. Moving on to the colors, each of those have a meaning, too.
The red stripes stand for hardiness and valor. The white stripes represent purity and innocence and the blue stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
Windblown Flag on the Flagpole
As you color your flag, remember to start and end with red stripes and you will have the correct pattern. You could cut out the colored flag, glue a small wooden dowel on the back of the pole and have your own flag to stick into the ground! Make several to line your sidewalk!
