Switzerland Flag Coloring Page
Print this free Switzerland flag coloring page, then colour the white cross on a square red field using the guide below. The Swiss flag was adopted in 1840.
A white cross sits on a square red field. The white cross was the field sign carried by the Swiss Confederacy as early as the fourteenth century, sewn onto the clothing of fighting men and later onto cantonal war flags. It became the official national flag in 1840.
Start with the red field using broad, even strokes across the whole square, then add the white cross in the centre. The cross is thick and fills most of the flag, so trace its arms carefully with a fine tip so the edges stay sharp.
