Choose the Right Paper

Printer Settings

For crisp outlines:

• Print at 100% scale.
• Select the highest quality print setting available.
• Use portrait orientation unless your printer suggests otherwise.
• Disable “Fit to Page” if the printable is already formatted correctly.

Coloring Supplies

Children can use many different materials, including:

• Crayons for younger children.
• Colored pencils for detailed coloring.
• Washable markers for bright colors.
• Gel pens for decorative accents on classroom projects.

Using the colored reference flag included on each worksheet helps children practice matching the official colors while learning about national symbols.
