Ball, Hat and Key Words to Color
Coloring guide
Side by side on a little patch of grass, a beach ball, a bowed sun hat and an old-fashioned key all wear happy faces. The striped ball has a round button on top, the hat has a ribbon bow on its band, and the key has a clover-shaped top and chunky teeth. Overhead, a smiling sun with pointed rays floats between two puffy clouds. The words BALL, HAT and KEY run across the bottom in big bubble letters that small hands can color in easily. Early readers can use it to practice three-letter and four-letter words at home or in class. Rainbow stripes on the ball, a soft yellow hat with a pink bow and a shiny gold key would be fun choices. It's a free PDF and needs no sign-up. Fans of Words coloring pages often like Activity Sheets and Alphabet as well.
