What your child practises
- Colours a large, curved-edge shape (the bat blade) evenly without stopping and starting

- Follows a curved line to colour the ball's seam sections separately from the rest of the ball
- Names and talks about two familiar sports objects and how they are used together
About this worksheet
This page shows just two objects, drawn large and tilted at an angle: a cricket bat standing on its blade with the handle reaching up to the top corner, and a ball resting against the bottom of the bat. The handle has six short horizontal lines across it, like the grip tape wound round a real bat, and a rounded knob at the very top. The blade below is one long, flat, open shape with no lines inside it at all. The ball sits low and to the right, and has a single curved seam sweeping across it in two lines, splitting the circle into three sections.
That empty blade is the main draw here. It is the biggest space on the page, so a child who is still learning to stay inside the lines gets a wide, forgiving area to fill with one colour, and it will still look like a finished bat when they are done. The handle asks for something different: six thin stripes in a row, which is a nice change of pace for a child who wants to try swapping colours or going slowly with a narrower crayon. The ball's curved seam gives a bit of shape to talk about too, without turning it into a fiddly job.
There is nothing small or tightly enclosed anywhere on this sheet, so it suits younger colourers well, including those who tire of pages with lots of little parts. Older preschoolers who already like colouring can use the handle stripes and the ball's seam to practise a steadier, more careful hand. Anyone with a cricket fan at home will get a page that is instantly recognisable once it is coloured in.
How to use this sheet
Let your child start with the big bat blade first, since it is the easiest area, then move to the handle stripes and finally the ball's curved seam. If the thin stripes feel too fiddly, it is fine to colour the whole handle as one block instead.
