4th of July Printable Coloring Page

Free printable 4th of July coloring page and secret code activity!A few years ago my daughter and I made this alphabet coloring page. I loathe coloring pages but she really loves them, and there is nothing more developmentally appropriate than following a child’s interests to help them develop skills. While she recognized her letters then and is a strong reader now she like many children can use fine motor skills practice and the best way to do that is with something a child loves to do. If they love it, it’s not a fight, and they work on skills while having fun. This 4th of July printable coloring page combines alphabet matching with coloring the letters. The code at the bottom can be cut off when the page is all colored and used to help decorate for the 4th of July.

Gather your materials. You will need this printable <– click to print the free pdf, and red and blue crayons or markers. My daughter is using my good working pens as a treat, but crayons work well too.

Color each letter based on the color it is in the code. The little dots in the letters offer a challenge for older kids like my (almost) 7-year-old. This requires more control and more refined fine motor development but younger children can simply color over them. This is a great activity for a wide variety of abilities.

It’s that simple, but summer learning doesn’t have to be a huge long drawn out and boring affair. Make the activities quick and fun, and they will add up to a lot of summer learning and skill development.

Another fun way to learn all summer long is with subscription boxes like Little Passports. We just got our first month to kick off the summer, and my daughter loves it. They have a great Explore the USA box that helps you teach your child more about the USA right from your home.
