Holly Sprig Resting on a Christmas Ball Ornament

A round Christmas ball hangs from a small cap and hook, with a sprig of holly resting across the top. The holly has two pointed, jagged-edged leaves and a cluster of three round berries at the center. The ornament itself has a wavy band across the upper part and another wavy band near the bottom. In the middle sits a tall diamond shape, with a long oval on each side. The simple, bold outlines and large open spaces make it easy for younger kids to color without going over the lines. Try red and green for the holly and berries, then pick two or three bright colors for the ornament so each band, oval, and diamond stands out. It also works well for talking about shapes, since circles, ovals, and a diamond all appear in one picture. This printable page is a nice quiet activity for a December afternoon.
