Flag of Israel Coloring Page (free printable)

Looking for a really pretty flag of Israel coloring page? This one has gorgeous doodled designs! For something simpler, try you can get a more basic flag in my Yom Ha’atzma’ut coloring pages set (also free). This post contains affiliate links.

The proximity of Yom Ha’atzma’ut to Pesach means that every year I either give up before I start, or am scrambling last minute to share all the ideas I have. This year, I was trying to get out 2-3 of them, and then smashed my hand (putting away Pesach stuff, of course).

But I was deep into illustrating a flag of Israel coloring page, and I really wanted to get this pretty page out to you – especially since last year, I shared simpler kid-friendly designs.

So the other crafts will have to wait for next year (I’m working on some better timeline and planning) and for now, I’m happy to share this flag of Israel coloring page with you – and check out previous years’ Yom Ha’atzma’ut crafts here.

About the flag of Israel coloring page

The design

My idea was to make a flat flag, but add doodles to the blue parts for you to color in shades of blue.

I focused on floral motifs and patterns but added a touch of Israel in, with grape-like clusters on the top stripe and pomegranates on the bottom one.

My favorite part is the star itself, which I made as a solid outline six-pointed star just to give more area for doodles. It look so pretty that I’m considering making it larger and offering it as a standalone star of David coloring page, maybe with some detail added (I illustrated this in Fresco using a Vector brush so that I can make it big without losing quality.) Definitely let me know what you think in the comments.

Coloring your flag of Israel Coloring Page

Coloring tips

I colored this page using Ohuhu’s double brush tip markers. I’m not gonna lie, while Ohuhu is a great non-major brand if you want something affordable, there definitely is a difference in quality between these and the major brands (such as Stabilo or Staedtler).

I do like, however, how I get a huge selection of shades for something like this that was designed to be monochromatic. You DEFINITELY need to swatch it if you’re doing it all in blue.

I decided to break away a bit from all-blue, but keep it mostly that so that it still looks like the Israeli flag.

I added bits of purple and green where called-for on the fruit and foliage. I did layer a bit. I had it printed on regular copy paper, which makes it harder to layer – especially water based markers that soak the paper. The page crumbles a bit.

For layering color with markers, ideally you’d print it on cardstock and color with alcohol markers (though they’re not quite as fine-tipped as you’ll need for this page). I did it anyway because I used colors in slightly the wrong tones.

I did not (yet) finish coloring it – it takes some time and I need to move on to the next holidays! I’ll share here if (when) I do.

You can definitely choose if you want to color in each little detail separately, focus on the broader areas and let my line art just be a pattern fill, or some and some.

Stick to just blues, blues and teals, or go crazy with color.

And you can even play with shading on the background.

Crafting ideas

Since it’s a basic rectangle, there are so many things you can do with this flag of Israel coloring page if you cut out your colored work!

• My favorite: Give one to each member of the family/class, and then string it up into a pennant-style banner for Yom Ha’atzma’ut decor.
• Use it as a cover for an Israel-related project or journal.
• Use it as a classroom bulletin board – again, have each classmate fill one in.
• Make cards for soldiers using the colored pages. The inner detail is quite small, so you won’t want to shrink it down, unless you’ll be coloring over the detail and not inside it. You can get double-size construction paper to make jumbo cards.
• Use Mod Podge and a spray sealer to glue it onto a wooden board, attach a string hanger for a durable flag sign.
• Or, you can even glue it onto colored cardstock for a simpler sign.
• And finally, you can turn it into a simple flag for a Yom Ha’atzma’ut parade by gluing on an 18 inch dowel (best done on paper, not cardstock).
