Long Bat and Ball Crossing the Page

A long baseball bat runs diagonally across the page from the top right down to the bottom left, with a flared knob at the handle end. Two curved lines near the lower part of the handle mark off a grip band. Beside the bat, in the lower right corner, sits a round baseball with two curved rows of small stitches on either side of the ball. The lines are clean and thick, and the large open shapes are easy for small hands to fill in. Try coloring the bat like natural wood or a favorite team color, then use bright red for the stitches and leave the ball white. This free printable also works well for a sports unit, since kids can talk about the gear used in baseball while they color.
