Hello!<br />
Welcome to the<br />
European Union.<br />
Did you know that the European Union is<br />
made up of 28 countries and has a population<br />
of about 508 million?<br />
Come and discover these 28 countries, colour in<br />
their flags and guess the names of their capitals from<br />
the letters that have been jumbled up. You’ll see<br />
what fun it is!<br />
If you need help, you’ll find the flags, the<br />
names of the capital cities and the map<br />
of Europe at the end of the colouring<br />
book.<br />
Have fun!
