Looking for a patriotic activity for preschoolers or kindergarteners? This Free Color By Number American Flag is great for number recognition, following directions, and of course celebrating one of our many American patriotic holidays or events!
This free printable features a large picture of the United States flag. I’ve left the white portions of the flag unnumbered to make it more aesthetically pleasing and of course because the white stars and stripes do not need to be colored.

Fun Facts about the American Flag
The American flag has 13 stripes alternating red and white, representing the 13 original colonies that became the first states in the U.S. The blue portion of the flag features 50 white stars representing the 50 states.
The United States National Flag is also known as Old Glory, the Star Spangled Banner, and the Stars and Stripes.

More Patriotic Fun for Kids
You might like to paint this United States of America flag color by number as well. I’d recommend water color paints if you do so. Our flag is fairly simple with just the blue field and white star corner and the alternating red and white stripe, so it could be a great painting project.
You might also like to teach your children about the national anthem, about flag design, and the role of the armed forces. There’s lots of great books on Amazon about these topics.
