Just because of its proximity to so many other holidays, I tend to not really manage to create anything for Yom Ha’atzma’ut. But with all that is going on this year – in Israel and the rest of the world, the need for Jewish self-determination has never been clearer.
And while celebrations are extremely bitter this year (I don’t even think bittersweet does it), we still celebrate our ability to make sure that “never again” means just that. I knew that I just had to make some crafts happen this year.
I expedited two jewelry making crafts – a Star of David beading tutorial and a DIY clay Star of David bracelet. Both of these allow us to own our Jewish identity. Plus, they’re fun for all year round as well!
However, I wanted something simple that the kids can do, and that is more appropriate to actually entertain Yom Ha’atzma’ut celebrations, and supplement classroom lessons around the world.
I created two coloring pages, available as a free download at the end of this post:
- A page with kids dancing and celebrating Israel together, with a focus on unity and harmony.
- The Israeli flag waving strong and proud
These Yom Ha’atzma’ut coloring pages were majorly expedited and illustrated and published today, so that I can get it on time for at least some of you to still use it this year! So please forgive imperfections. I usually test color the pages but I had to skip that step to be able to get it out on time. If you notice any mistakes, please let me know so that I can fix it for next year!
Celebrating Together Yom Ha’atzma’ut Coloring Page
This page has kids of presumably different backgrounds (religious, secular, and can be colored as Mizrahi, Ashkenazi, Ethiopian, etc) all celebrating together.
Israel is our reunification from around the globe, and we all know we need unity. Yom Ha’atzma’ut occurs during sefirat ha’omer, a time when we learn that respect for each other is the key to preventing tragedy amongst us. I wanted the message of beyachad nenatze’ach (together we will win) to come through in our lessons to our children as well.
While we may live differently, we are each humans with a story. Our differences make us more special, and make our world so much brighter.
There are balloons, streamers, and confetti. The kids hold Israeli flags and a tambourine stick, as they hold hands, high five, and dance… together.
The words on the bottom that the kids are dancing on says “Am Yisrael Chai” in Hebrew – the people of Israel live.
Flag of Israel Coloring Page
This super simple coloring page features an Israeli flag waving. The star is cut at the fold to be a bit more realistic.
Kids can be encouraged to create their own doodles to fill in the spaces. I kept this simple, having in mind that it can make a fabulous bulletin board for classrooms, and be used to encourage a bit of creativity while remaining on theme as a Yom Ha’atzma’ut coloring page.
It also has enough white space to be used for kids to write things for bulletin boards, such as their favorite memory from Israel, their favorite thing about being Jewish, etc.

If you want more fun pages to color in the spirit of Israel and the Jewish people, you’ll love these two sets:
Shalom, Peace, & Unity
Color these beautiful Shalom (peace) and Israel coloring pages to celebrate Israel and Jewish heritage. They feature a variety of Israel themes and scenes of unity.
I designed these with plenty of opportunity for creativity and adding your own texture. The pages feature different styles, including scenes, typography, and doodles, to keep things interesting. They are medium level, making them accessible for a wide variety of age groups
Pages include:
- Am Yisrael Chai – the Nation of Israel lives. It features the text in Hebrew and English, written on a background of a banner, with a split star of David. The bird is the Hoopoe bird – doocheefat in Hebrew – the national bird of Israel. The flower is the national flower of Israel which is the red anemone (calanit).
- The Kotel (Western Wall)
- A dove flying above Jerusalem (not a very specific picture – it’s just inspired by the architectural details)
- Israelis of different strokes united (note the details)
- An intricate doodled Shalom (in Hebrew) page. The Shalom was illustrated by accident: I made those criss-crossing rectangles and found the space for the word “shalom” in the gaps. I defined it and brought it out in the design.
Chai & Star of David Coloring Set
A selection of fun intricate coloring pages featuring star of David and Chai motifs, to celebrate Jewish identity and life!
This is a really fun way to celebrate Yom Ha’atzma’ut, and fun for the older set!
