About this coloring page
Two strings of bunting hang across the page in gentle curves, each holding six triangle flags pointing down, for twelve flags in all. Between the strings, a sparkle sits in the middle with a small dot on each side, filling the gap like a bit of floating confetti.
Two matching rows of flags make this an excellent counting page. Kids can make a repeating color pattern along each string, which is an early math skill dressed up as decorating.
Color ideas
- Color the flags in a repeating pattern, such as red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue.
- Write one letter of your child's name on each flag before coloring, adding more flags if needed.
- Make the two strings a golden yellow so they look like ribbon.
Did you know?
- The word bunting first meant a light, woolen fabric that was used to make flags.
- Ships use a set of colored signal flags, with a different flag for each letter of the alphabet, to send messages to each other.
