About this worksheet
This page turns a football into a little character. The ball is round and split into six large panels by thick curved lines, with a big happy face sitting in the middle hexagon: two oval eyes and a wide open smile. Both arms shoot straight up over its head in a cheer, each ending in a mitten-shaped hand with finger lines, and two short legs stick out underneath in rounded, shoe-like feet. There is nothing else on the page, no background, no goalposts, just the ball standing and celebrating.
What makes this one worth printing is the size of the spaces. The six panels round the ball are big and rounded, so a child can colour each one a different colour, or pick just two and alternate them, without the crayon straying far from the lines. The face is the fiddly part: the two eyes and the smile are small closed shapes that ask for a steadier hand, which is a nice contrast to the wide open panels around them. It is an easy page to talk about while colouring, asking whether the ball is happy, what colour it should be, why its arms are up.
This is on the easier end of the sheets in this set. The outlines are thick, the shapes are few, and there is no fine detail beyond the face, so it suits a child who is still building confidence with a crayon as much as one who wants to finish something quickly. Older preschoolers who like more to fill in might find it goes by fast.
How to use this sheet
Let your child start with the big panels round the ball first, since those are the easiest wins. Save the eyes and smile for last, when they are warmed up, and it is fine if colour spills slightly there. Ask them why the ball's arms are up in the air.
