Six Goofy Ninja Pals Including Naruto and Shikamaru

Six cartoon ninja crowd together in this funny group scene, each with a different face. At the lower left is Naruto, with whisker marks on his cheeks, a leaf village headband and big round eyes. Shikamaru stands at the right with his tall spiky ponytail, a squinting look and a mesh shirt. In the middle, one character with a hair bun is being grabbed around the chin by an arm, while a long-haired friend beside them grins with closed eyes. Another character shouts with an open mouth and a spiral earring, and a spiky-haired ninja in a headband laughs at the lower right. The mesh shirt is great for crosshatch patterns with fine-tip markers. You could also ask kids to pick an emotion for each face and choose colors to match, such as warm shades for the shouting one and cool shades for the calm one. This free printable works well for a rainy afternoon.
