A fun and simple way for 6-year-olds to learn about the colors of the American flag and the colonial history of the United States.
The American flag has three colors: red, white, and blue. Each color has a special meaning:
Long ago, before the United States was a country, there were 13 colonies. These were places where people from Europe came to live in America. They wanted to start new lives and make their own rules. The colonies worked together to build towns and farms.
People in the colonies wanted freedom and fair treatment, which led to the American Revolution where they became the United States of America.
You can make your own American flag using red, white, and blue paper or crayons! Remember what each color means as you color your flag.
