Crown Coloring Pages

The Crown for Kings and Queens

The Crown is a special hat that kings and queens wear on their heads.
It is made of gold or silver and decorated with many jewels.
The person wearing the Crown is the king or queen of that country.

Let's Look at the Shape of the Crown

The Crown in the first coloring page has a wide band at the bottom with 5 pointed peaks lined up on top.
There are little round balls on the tips of the peaks.
Round, diamond, and teardrop-shaped jewels line the band.
It is a neat Crown that looks the same on the left and right sides.

A Tiara is a Crown for Women

In the second coloring page, you can find a tiara along with Crowns of different shapes.
A tiara is a thin, beautiful hat that sits on top of your hair.
You often see them in picture books about princesses.
Try coloring them while looking for the different shapes, like pointed Crowns, round Crowns, and thin tiaras!

Real Crowns Are Very Heavy

In the UK, there is a very important Crown called St. Edward's Crown.
It is only used when placed on a head during a ceremony called a coronation to welcome a new king or queen.
It weighs about 2 kilograms. That is much heavier than a big bottle of water! It was used in 2023 for King Charles III's coronation, too.
Just like the star mark, the Crown is also a symbol that shows sparkling light.

Crowns Have Different Shapes in Every Country

Crown shapes change depending on the country and the time period.
Some have pointed peaks lined up on top, some have round arches, and some even have a cross on the very top.
The number and color of the jewels are different for every Crown, too.
People in the past made shiny, beautiful Crowns so everyone could see how important the king was.
If you look closely at the Crowns worn by kings in storybooks and cartoons, you will see their shapes are different, so try comparing them!

Let's Make a Crown Out of Paper

You can make your very own Crown using construction paper!
Cut the top of a long strip of paper into a zig-zag peak shape, roll it to fit your head size, and tape the ends together.
If you decorate it with jewels made of colored paper or stickers, it will look like a real Crown.
If you wear it at a birthday party, you will feel like the star of the day!

Color Your Crown Gold or Yellow

Try coloring the main part of your Crown gold or yellow.
If you color it yellow, add a little orange along the edges and shadows. It will look like a shiny gold Crown!
If you want to make a silver Crown, soft gray and light blue work really well.

Color the Jewels in Lots of Colors

Try coloring each jewel on the band a different color, like red, blue, green, and purple.
It will look wonderful if you use real jewel colors! Try red for a ruby, blue for a sapphire, and green for an emerald.
If you leave a small white spot near the top of each jewel, it will look bright and shiny!

Have Fun with Hearts and Stars

Color the little hearts between the points pink, and color the stars yellow to make a cute Crown.
Try coming up with your very own special Crown!

Pick Colors for Each Crown on the Second Page

The second coloring page has lots of Crowns and tiaras lined up.
Pick a color for each one, like a gold Crown, a silver Crown, or a pink tiara! Your picture will look bright and colorful, just like a pile of treasure.

Color the Background to Make Your Crown Stand Out

Try coloring around the Crown on the first page with dark red or navy blue.
A gold Crown sitting on kingly cloak colors will pop right out and look super fancy!

The Balls on the Points Look Like Pearls

If you color the round balls on the pointed tips white or light pink, they will look just like pearls!

Bottle Caps Are Also Called "Crown"

Have you ever seen the bumpy metal cap on a juice or soda bottle?
Actually, this kind of cap is also called a "Crown".
It got this name because the shape of the cap looks like a king's crown when you look from above.
In English, it is also called a "crown."

Crown is a Country's Treasure

A king or queen's Crown is carefully protected as a national treasure.
In the UK, treasures like Crown are kept in a building called the Tower of London, and you can even go see them!

Crown as a Mark

The Crown mark is also used as a symbol for "number one" or "special."
You might see a Crown mark on a first-place badge in a ranking or as a reward in a game.
Let's look for Crown marks around you!

The Person Who Guards the Crown

At the Tower of London where the UK's Crown is kept, guards wearing traditional uniforms protect the treasures.
