Printable flags for children offer parents and educators a simple yet effective way to teach kids about the history of their own national flag as well as flags belonging to other countries.

Printable Flags

Flags, with their colors and shapes, are great learning tools for many different types of activities. You can print out these flags and have children sort them based on their colors or shapes, or you can teach children about several different regions of the world using national flags and a globe or world map. To print a full-colored version of a country's flag, click on the flag image or the 'full-color flag' text. To print a black and white version for coloring, print on the 'uncolored flag' text.
