Medal Winner With Raised Arms and a Flag

Six small steps show how to build a cheerful athlete from simple shapes. It starts with an oval face with a smile, big eyes, and a little cap of hair. Next come a boxy torso and a V-shaped neckline, then arms raised high with round fists, shorts, long legs, and oval shoes. A round medal with the number 1 hangs around the neck. In the later steps a large flag stretches out behind the shoulders, tied at both hands, with a diagonal cross design and stripes. The final panel is shown in color, with a yellow top, green shorts, and a green, yellow, and black flag. This free printable guide works well for a classroom lesson on drawing in stages. Let kids trace each step, then color the flag any way they like or copy the sample. It could also spark a talk about sports and teams.
