Simple Football Resting in the Grass
Coloring guide
One big American football sits tilted on the ground, with tufts of grass drawn along the bottom. Classic laces run across the top of the ball and curved stripes sit near each end. A single puffy cloud floats in the upper right corner. With no players or other objects, the ball is the star, and its large shapes are easy for little hands to fill in. It's a good free printable for young kids, game-day fans, or a calm activity before a family watch party. Try warm brown for the ball, leaving the laces and stripes white or coloring them with crayon, then bright green for the grass and light blue for the cloud. Thick, clear outlines keep it beginner friendly. More like this: explore the NFL / Football, Soccer and NHL / Hockey coloring page collections.

- rich brown
- sky blue
A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the cloud at the top: fill it in with sky blue, leaving the outline as is.
- 2Fill the large middle part of the football with rich brown, going around the laces and stripes.
- 3Color the two rounded ends of the football with rich brown too, so the whole ball looks evenly colored.
- 4Keep the two long stripes across the ball, the laces, and the grass tufts white so they stand out against the brown.
- 5Optional: Add a few light diagonal strokes of brown in the ball and blue in the cloud to give a textured, hand-drawn look.
