What is Koningsdag, and when is it?

Koningsdag — King's Day — is the Netherlands' national birthday of the king, every 27 April: a nationwide holiday where the country dresses in orange, cities fill with street parties, canals with decorated boats, and children sell old toys from blankets at the vrijmarkt, the free flea market open to everyone for one day.

It began as Princess's Day in 1885, spent decades as Queen's Day on 30 April, and became King's Day when Willem-Alexander took the throne in 2013. If the 27th is a Sunday, the party moves to Saturday the 26th. Four visuals spell "Koningsdag": orange everywhere, flags and bunting, the vrijmarkt stall, and the crown with the Dutch flag — plus tulips and a canal house. Keep this recipe for your homemade page below.

What can you color for Koningsdag right now?

No Koningsdag scene waits in the library — don't search for "king" or "crown". What exists is 198 hand-drawn scenes across 7 collections, including Popular Places for street scenes: the building blocks of a King's Day picture. Use them as warm-ups; your real page comes from your own photo.

| What you want | Does it exist? | What to do instead | |---|---|---| | Orange street party with flags | Not yet | Color a street scene from Popular Places, then make a real one from your photo | | Vrijmarkt flea-market stall | Not yet | Color a cozy everyday scene, then convert a photo of a blanket stall | | The king's crown | Not yet | Use the photo tool on a toy crown photo with a plain background | | Tulips and spring flowers | Partly | Browse spring-like scenes, then add orange tulips from your photo | | Canal houses and boats | Partly | Start with a city scene from Popular Places | | Your own Koningsdag memory | Always possible | Turn last year's street-party photo into a page in about a minute |

The complete guide to the ColorsGoods collections covers all 7 collections, and Europe landmarks coloring pages is this post's closest cousin. Golden rule: the substitute is the appetizer, never the main course — warm up with one library scene, then build your page: your street, your stall, your boat.

How to turn your own photo into a real Koningsdag page

Use the photo-to-coloring-page tool: upload a photo, get clean line art in about a minute, color in the browser or print on A4. Photos are processed locally, never uploaded. First time? Read how to create coloring pages.

Pick high contrast. Bold shapes convert cleanly; clutter turns to mush. A child in orange against a plain wall, one vrijmarkt blanket on the pavement, a toy crown on a table, tulips before a window — flat daylight beats evening party light. Crop tight first: cut bikes, bins and strangers. One stall, one face, one boat beats a busy scene every time.

Three photos that convert beautifully: a flag garland over your street; a vrijmarkt blanket from above (ideal ages 4–7); orange tulips in a jar. Color it the Koningsdag way — flood big zones orange first, then the flag in red, white and blue. Technique help: coloring techniques for beginners; materials: coloring supplies guide.

Koningsdag in the classroom

A fixed-date holiday with unmistakable colors — a classroom gift. Dutch schools hold Koningsspelen (King's Games) plus orange crafts; international schools teach the tradition while including every child regardless of language. Ages 4–6: one big crown or tulip page on A4 at 100%, crayons only. Ages 7–10: color last year's stall photo, then draw and price this year's toys — a writing prompt too. See coloring pages for the classroom and coloring pages for kids.

Keep one calm table: the orange frenzy overstimulates some children, and the approach in coloring pages for ADHD kids plus hygge coloring pages fits perfectly. Print a test copy, print at 100% (never "fit to page"), laminate a few for dry-erase reuse.

How to print your Koningsdag pages on A4

Set the printer to A4, print at 100%, check one test copy before printing thirty. "Fit to page" shrinks the drawing and softens lines; 100% keeps edges sharp for small hands. Details — dialog settings, paper weight, pale lines — are in free coloring pages with no download. Draft mode for tests, normal quality for the class set, and 120 g/m² paper stops orange bleed-through.
