Free 4th of July Coloring Pages, Activites & Recipes

The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, we celebrate the signing of The Declaration of Independence in 1776, when the 13 original colonies broke free of England and declared freedom. Did you know that Independence Day has been celebrated every year since July 8th, 1776, but did not officially become a National Holiday until 1941?

On The 4th of July we celebrate our Independence, our Founding Fathers and what they did to give us the freedom that we have today. We celebrate today with Parades, Picnics with friends and family, long weekends and Fireworks. I can’t think of a better way to take a break and enjoy a hot summer day.

Many of the coloring pages that we have for the 4th of July are very similar to the Flag Day pages, but many are much different and we are very happy to share them with you.

Fourth of July Coloring Pages:

The first page is one of our favorites, it has an online feature to use a crayon to color in the Fourth of July pictures right on the computer. You can print them out already colored, or print them out in black and white and color them with crayons. Lots of fun!
