Side Splits on the Mat for Gymnastics Fans
Coloring guide
Sitting in a full side split on a thick exercise mat, a girl with a high ponytail and wispy bangs holds both arms high with her fingers spread wide. Her sleeveless leotard and big smile say she's having a great time. A water bottle with a flip-top cap sits on the mat to her left, and a zippered duffel bag with two handles sits to her right. Bold, clean lines and large open spaces in the leotard, mat and bag work for young kids with chunky crayons, while older kids can add their own detail. Purple or turquoise for the leotard, with a contrasting mat color, will make her split stand out. Pick up this free printable PDF for a fun afternoon.
