Every Fourth of July, our family looks forward to more than just fireworks and parades. We love finding small ways to celebrate together and connect with our community. One of our favorite traditions is bringing along a stack of patriotic coloring pages—whether we’re heading to a backyard barbecue, a local parade, or even visiting the Old Soldiers’ Home to share some festive cheer.

The kids get so excited to color American flags, fireworks, and eagles, and I love seeing their finished pages brighten up our fridge or become handmade cards for neighbors and veterans. Sometimes, we set up a coloring station at our family picnic or let the little ones color while we prep food for the party. It’s a simple, mess-free way to keep everyone engaged and creative, and it always sparks conversations about what Independence Day means to us.

Why Do We Celebrate the Fourth of July?

The Fourth of July is more than just fireworks and parades—it’s a celebration of America’s independence. On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted, marking the country’s official separation from Great Britain. While there were some celebrations that first year, it wasn’t until after the War of 1812 that the Fourth of July became a true holiday for families across the country. In 1870, Congress made it an official federal holiday, and today, it’s a day filled with patriotic pride, family gatherings, and festive traditions. 

What You’ll Need

Colored Pencils:

Crayola colored pencils are my top pick for kids’ art projects. The 36-pack offers a great variety of bright, vivid colors, and the pencils are sturdy with a comfortable grip. My kids use them daily for coloring pages—they’re easy to use, transfer color beautifully, and hold up well for both little and big hands.

Washable Markers:

As a teacher, I’ve used many markers, and these are the best for classroom use. They last a long time, have vibrant colors, and work on different surfaces. They’re easy to clean off tables and clothes, though they may need a little extra scrubbing on skin. Overall, they provide great coverage and are perfect for kids’ projects.

10 Creative Craft Ideas to Do With 4th of July Coloring Pages

  1. Festive July Calendars
    Let your kids color their favorite 4th of July coloring pages, then pair them with a homemade July calendar grid. Mount both on construction paper, punch holes, and tie them together with red, white, and blue ribbon for a patriotic calendar you can hang up all month.
  2. Party Decorations
    Turn your finished coloring pages into easy party décor! Cut out stars, flags, or fireworks and string them together as bunting, use full pages as placemats, or tape them up as posters for your celebration.
  3. Patriotic Jewelry
    Print small designs from your coloring pages onto shrink sheets, color them in, and bake according to the instructions. Add earring hooks, string, or pins to create one-of-a-kind patriotic jewelry for the holiday.
  4. Glittery Posters
    Add sparkle to your 4th of July coloring pages with glitter glue or regular glue and loose glitter. Let the kids fill in fireworks, stars, or flags, then hang their glittery masterpieces on the fridge or wall.
  5. Starry Headbands
    Color and cut out stars from your coloring pages, then glue them onto a strip of blue construction paper to make a festive headband. Kids will love wearing their creations during the parade or fireworks show.
  6. Suncatchers
    Print your favorite coloring pages on transparency paper, color them in, and add tissue paper for a stained-glass effect. Hang your suncatchers in the window to catch the summer sunlight.
  7. DIY Puzzles
    Glue a finished coloring page to a piece of cardboard, then cut it into puzzle pieces. Kids can put together their own patriotic puzzle again and again.
  8. Party Favors and Gift Bags
    Use colored pages to decorate paper gift bags or make gift tags for your 4th of July party favors. Kids can help cut and glue, making them feel part of the celebration.
  9. Patriotic Wreaths
    Cut out stars, flags, and fireworks from your coloring pages and glue them onto a cardboard ring to make a homemade wreath. Hang it on your door to welcome guests with a burst of red, white, and blue.
  10. History Dioramas
    Teach your kids about Independence Day by recreating a historical scene in a shoebox diorama. Use cutouts from your coloring pages to set the stage for the signing of the Declaration of Independence or a classic July 4th parade.
