Soldier Saluting Coloring Page

A cartoon soldier stands facing forward with one hand raised to the brim of his cap. His face is friendly rather than formal: large round eyes, freckle marks on both cheeks, and a wide smile across the middle of it.

The uniform gives this page most of its detail. A peaked cap carries a round badge above the brim. The shirt has a pointed collar with a tie underneath, three buttons running down the placket, and two chest pockets, each with a flap and its own small button. A belt crosses the waist with a rectangular buckle and a single stud at the center of it. Below that come plain trousers and a pair of boots, with a short ground line beneath them.

Nothing on the uniform marks a rank, a unit or a branch of service. That is on purpose, and it lets the page work for whoever a child has in mind while coloring.

Shapes are medium sized, and the pockets and buttons want a steady hand, which lands this at ages four to eight. Crayon handles the body fine, and a pencil is easier on those buttons.
