Free Statue of Liberty Colouring Page for Kids

Bring one of the most iconic landmarks of the United States into your colouring activity with this fun and educational worksheet! Featuring the Statue of Liberty standing tall in New York Harbor, this sheet invites children to explore history, symbolism and creativity all at once.

What’s Inside

• A detailed line drawing of the Statue of Liberty, including her crown, torch-held high, tablet in hand, standing on a pedestal by the water.

• Background elements like skyline or harbor water to provide context and depth.

• Clear outlines so children can colour the statue, pedestal, water, sky and any surrounding elements.

• Space for children to choose colour schemes—whether realistic (green patina statue, grey pedestal, blue water) or imaginative (sunset background, expressive colour choices).

Why It’s Useful

• For kids: Helps build fine-motor skills, colour choice confidence, and storytelling (“Why is she holding a torch? What does she represent?”).

• For classrooms/homeschool: Combines art and social studies: the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States. It stands as a major symbol of freedom, democracy and hope.

• Also offers a geography tie-in (New York Harbor, Liberty Island) and a history/engineering tie-in (constructed using copper sheets, iron framework).

• Suitable for a range of ages: Younger children can use broad colours; older children can add shading, reflections on the water, detailed background.

How to Use It

1. Print the worksheet on medium-weight paper so the colours are vivid and lines stay crisp.

2. Start with a short talk: Introduce the Statue of Liberty—its history, what it represents (freedom, welcome) and where it is located (Liberty Island, New York).

3. Ask the children: “What colours would you use for the statue? How would you colour the pedestal and the water? What time of day might it be—morning, sunset, night?”

4. Provide colouring tools: crayons, coloured pencils, markers. Encourage layering (e.g., for the pedestal, lightly colour then add darker shadow underneath; for water, use waves or reflections).

5. After colouring, discuss:

   • “Why do you think the torch is held high?”

   • “What does the statue symbolise for people arriving in New York?”

   • “If you were designing a background for the statue, what would you draw?”

6. Display the finished pages—perhaps create a “Symbols of Freedom” wall featuring the colouring sheet along with brief facts about the statue.
