A coloring hour for Fourth of July
Print the big star in Regular and Bold and set out red, white, and blue pencils, with every other color beside them. Hand out a page or two before the cookout, or after it.
Read the Story Starter once, then wait. Parade, picnic, or fireworks: every town did it a little differently, and the differences are the stories.
Play a Sousa march and let the table tap along while they color.
“How did your town celebrate the Fourth of July?”
Three steps, about an hour
- Print both versions of the same drawing, Regular and Bold, on plain letter paper.
- Hand out a page or two to each person, wherever they are: the table, a lounge chair, a bedside.
- Read the Story Starter aloud while they color. Then wait.
Bold has thicker lines and fewer tiny details, easier to see and easier to finish. Everyone colors the same picture.

Good to know
How do I run a coloring activity?
Print the same drawing in Regular and Bold, and hand pages out wherever people are, even at a bedside. Read the Story Starter once, slowly, then wait longer than feels comfortable. Never correct a memory. Sign and date the ones they're proud of.
Which version should each person get?
Choose by the person and the day. Regular suits a long, quiet sit. Bold has thicker, darker lines and fewer tiny details, so it's easier to see and finish. Same picture either way, so no one gets "the easy page."
Can we show a page on our activity calendar or newsletter?
Yes, in print: calendars, newsletters, bulletin boards, and handouts. The license doesn't cover posting pages publicly online, including social media.
