Color the flowers and keep room for words

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Three pale blue flowers with yellow centers above an uncolored ribbon and two blank paper strips.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Pale blue petals
  • 2. Yellow flower centers
  • 3. White ribbon and paper strips
  1. Color the petals of all three flowers pale blue, following each curved edge.
  2. Color the three circular centers yellow.
  3. Leave the ribbon and both rectangular paper strips white so writing will remain easy to read.

All three flowers share the same colors, while the ribbon and two strips stay clear. Add words only after coloring.

Add a short remembrance message

US Memorial Day remembers people who died in military service. An adult can help choose a respectful short message for one blank strip, then read it together.

More selection and activity ideas

Choose a page

Choose the three-flower border or ribbon still life for broad petals and open space. Vases, bouquets and wreaths have smaller flower centers and leaf details. Group pages let you color each figure separately; the quiet bench offers a scene without people. The flag page has repeated small stars, long stripes and the printed words United States.

Try it together

On paper, color the three-flower border and add a short remembrance message in its open center. The blank card or ribbon areas can also hold a handwritten note after printing. Compare the two vase shapes, or choose one gentle color for each bouquet. A parent or teacher can explain that US Memorial Day remembers people who died during military service.
