    Keeping Busy: Learning about Flags

    • Facebook
    • Twitter

    Kiddo is currently enraptured by colorful world flags. He spends many hours reading through flag books and then enjoys replicating them in crayon and marker. I'm calling it "Flag Coloring."

    Learning the flags with books and coloring

    This is part of his recent bout of self-directed learning and busy work. I love that he's learning geography at the same time that he is using up all our scratch paper! It's also nice to see him creating art on his own. Usually he needs me to prompt him to make art.

    Above are just two of his many creations. Can you guess which ones these are?

    Are your kids interested in flags?

    Books he's been using (affiliate links):

    He even made this Pride flag because I was too cheap to buy him one at the recent festival in our neighborhood.

      Wow - impressive! I could never remember the flags except the really striking ones like, say, Israel, but I think that the second one is French flag. I like his version of Pride flag - very colorful.
