Bahrain Flag Crayon Holder {Tutorial}

Bahrain (Arabic: ‏البحرين‎), officially the Kingdom of Bahrain (Arabic: مملكة البحرين‎) is a small island country situated near the western shores of the Persian Gulf and one of the 21 members of the Arab League.

 

The national flag of Bahrain consists of a white band on the left, separated from a red area on the right by 5 triangles that serve as a serrated line.

 

We had a little fun this afternoon painting those 5 triangles on canvas while talking about this small country.
