Each page presents intricate details, allowing kids to observe and reproduce the iconic columns, windows, and doorways. They'll learn about neoclassical architecture and the grandeur of the President's official residence.
North Face of the White House
Our North Face coloring page showcases the formal entrance, the North Portico, with its impressive Ionic columns. Kids can color the flags waving proudly on either side, representing the United States and the current president.
Encourage them to research the significance of the flags and discuss why the presidential seal is displayed above the entrance. They might even want to add their favorite pet or who they'd like to see as the next president in the nearby Oval Office window!
South Face of the White House
The South Face of the White House is home to the South Portico, another iconic feature. Our coloring page lets kids enhance the impressive Doric columns and the wide steps leading up to the residence.
Introduce them to the term 'portico' and discuss its purpose. They can also explore the Marine Band's Archivist's Office, Office of the Historian, and the working office of the First Lady, all visible from this side of the White House.
Discovering the Interior: Rooms of the White House
Now that your child has explored the exterior, it's time to step inside with our interior White House coloring pages. From the Diplomatic Reception Room to the China Room, each page offers a glimpse into America's history.
Use these pages as opportunities to teach children about the significance of these rooms, the artifacts they hold, and the events that take place within them. They can also imagine and discuss what they might do if they were in the president's shoes!
Diplomatic Reception Room
Our Diplomatic Reception Room coloring page features the stunning marble fireplace, leather-upholstered sofas, and rich drapes. Encourage your child to research the art pieces, like the busts of former presidents, and discuss their historical significance.
Using these fascinating facts, create a story about a dignitary visiting the White House and have your child illustrate their tale on the coloring page. They can even incorporate their own diplomatic meeting in their narrative!
China Room
The China Room is home to one of the nation's most valuable assets: the collection of Chinese porcelain known as the American China Collection. On our China Room coloring page, kids can color the displays, the Koranic manuscripts, and the beautiful furnishings.
Turn this into a cultural learning experience by discussing the history of the collection, the art of porcelain making, and the different countries represented in the room. Your child might even be inspired to create their own piece of art as a response to these international influences.
