Happy Presidents Day Coloring Page with a Bald Eagle and Stars

Happy Presidents Day fills the middle of this Presidents Day coloring page in tall hollow capitals. A bald eagle with spread wings perches on top of the first word, stars surround the lettering, and a blank ribbon banner curves below it. The page has no flags and no people.

This free printable works for ages 6 to 10. Presidents Day is the third Monday of February, which falls on February 15 in 2027, so the page fits the February calendar, a social studies lesson or a quiet table after recess.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words Happy Presidents Day in big hollow letters across the middle of the page, with stars around them, a bald eagle with open wings above the words and a ribbon banner below them, with no flags and no people, drawn with clean bold outlines, the ribbon banner kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below it, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

The words "a bald eagle with open wings above the words" placed the eagle at the top with its wings spread nearly from edge to edge, and its talons grip the top of the word Happy. "With no flags and no people" kept the page to letters, stars, the eagle and the banner.

Inside This Presidents Day Coloring Page

The words take up the middle of the page in wide capitals, and the eagle perches right on top of them. Below the words, the empty banner leaves room for a child to write.

The official federal name of the holiday is Washington's Birthday. A teacher can write that name on the board and ask each child to copy it into the banner before coloring. In a homeschool lesson, the banner can hold the date instead, February 15, 2027.

Happy Presidents Day runs on three lines, and Presidents is the widest word. The eagle has a white head with a jagged edge at the neck, a hooked beak and one eye under a heavy brow, and each wing is drawn in rows of long, rounded feathers.

Fourteen five-pointed stars surround the design. Three run across the top, four run down each side with the largest at the bottom, and three sit below the banner. The banner has a wide blank center, and each end folds back and finishes in a forked tail.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Bald eagles have a white head and a dark brown body, so leave the head white and give the body and wings a deep brown. Color the beak and the talons yellow.

For the letters, alternate red and blue word by word, and color the stars gold or yellow. Keep the banner a light color so the words written inside stay easy to read. On the wings, use a darker brown for the outer feathers and a lighter one near the body, so each row of feathers stands out.

To print a matching page with your school's name in the banner, create a Presidents Day page with your school name.
