Happy Boy Bouncing a Basketball Outside
Coloring guide
This cheerful boy with short spiky hair bounces a basketball with one hand and holds his other arm out for balance. He's dressed in a sleeveless round-neck jersey, loose shorts, tall socks and chunky strapped sneakers. A few small motion lines near the ball show the bounce. Behind him stands a hoop with a net and backboard on a tall pole, and a chain-link fence runs across the background with some puffy clouds peeking over the top. Curved court lines mark the ground. The outlines are bold, which works well for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Pick a bright team color for the jersey and shorts, then use orange on the ball and the rim so the action stands out against a soft sky and gray fence. Free to print.
