America is turning 250 years old — and no symbol captures that spirit better than the mighty Bald Eagle! For 244 years the eagle has graced the Great Seal of the United States, soaring as the living emblem of freedom. Today your eagle is clutching a banner to proclaim America's greatest birthday. Grab a pencil, find dot 1, and let's help this eagle take flight!
1–22 — The Eagle's Head and Beak
Start at dot 1 and connect through to dot 22 to trace the bold, proud head of the Bald Eagle — including its sharp, curved beak. Children practise short directional strokes and gentle curves here, building pencil control while forming the eagle's most recognisable feature.
Fun fact!
The Bald Eagle is not actually bald! Its name comes from an old English word "balde," meaning white. The striking white head feathers appear when the bird reaches adulthood at around five years old. Before that, young eagles have mottled brown and white plumage.

23–46 — The Wingspan — Left Wing
Continue from dot 23 to dot 46 to sweep out the eagle's powerful left wing. These long, flowing strokes are excellent practice for children developing arm movement and large-scale pencil control. Encourage a smooth, confident stroke from shoulder to wingtip.
Fun fact!
A Bald Eagle's wingspan can reach up to 2.4 metres (nearly 8 feet) from tip to tip — about as wide as a small car is long! Those enormous wings allow the eagle to soar for hours on rising columns of warm air called thermals, barely flapping at all.

47–70 — The Wingspan — Right Wing
Mirror the left wing by connecting dots 47 to 70 to form the right wing. Symmetry is an important visual concept for young learners, and completing both wings gives a satisfying sense of balance and achievement. Notice how the strokes now sweep in the opposite direction.
Fun fact!
Eagles have up to 7,000 feathers covering their bodies, each one precisely shaped for its role — broad flight feathers for lift, soft body feathers for insulation, and stiff tail feathers for steering. They moult and regrow feathers gradually so they can always fly.

71–88 — The Talons and Patriotic Banner
Connect dots 71 to 88 to draw the eagle's powerful talons gripping the flowing anniversary banner. Children practise sharp angled lines and curved ribbon shapes — more demanding strokes that reward careful attention and steady hand control.
Fun fact!
An eagle's talons can exert a gripping force of around 400 pounds per square inch (psi) — far stronger than the average human hand. Talons are used to catch fish and small mammals, and the eagle's grip is so firm that prey rarely escapes once caught.

89–104 — The Stars, Shield, and Finishing Details
Complete the puzzle by connecting dots 89 to 104 to add the patriotic stars, shield markings, and final details that make this eagle truly American. Take your time on these last dots — a steady finish here pulls the whole picture together beautifully.
Fun fact!
The Great Seal of the United States, designed in 1782, shows the Bald Eagle holding an olive branch in one talon (representing peace) and a bundle of 13 arrows in the other (representing readiness to defend freedom). The eagle faces the olive branch — a reminder that peace is always the first choice.
