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