Beginner-Friendly Football Helmet and Laced Ball
Coloring guide
Next to a laced football sits a helmet in this simple page with bold lines. The helmet has a big rounded shell, a round ear hole, a chin strap detail and a sturdy face mask made of thick bars in a grid. In front of it, the football shows its stripes and stitched laces, and a few grass tufts run along the bottom. Thick outlines and big open spaces are friendly to beginners and younger kids, and they hold up well to crayons or chunky markers. Use your child's favorite team colors on the helmet, brown for the ball and two shades of green for the grass. It's a free printable that fits game day, a sports party, or a quiet afternoon at home or in the classroom.
