Questions and answers

When is Presidents Day?

The third Monday of February. At the federal level the holiday is officially Washington's Birthday; most states keep it under their own names, some for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln together.

Are these Presidents Day color by number free printables?

Yes. Every sheet is free and prints on one Letter or A4 page with its crayon key above the grid. The colored answer follows on page 2 unless you uncheck Answer key on page 2 in More options.

Is there a color by number of a president's face?

No. The Stovepipe hat stands for Abraham Lincoln, and the Tricorn hat and the Cherry tree for George Washington's time and legend. A grid of 144 squares is too coarse for a fair portrait.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a person, a brand or a logo. The fact in each description and the date of the holiday were checked against Wikipedia in October 2026. The flag on the White House sheet is simplified. The color and square counts were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
