Smiling Soccer Ball with Flowers and Grass
Coloring guide
This soccer ball has a big open-mouth smile, wide sparkly eyes and raised eyebrows, so it looks friendly and a little excited. It sits in the middle of the page covered in the classic pentagon and hexagon panels, which gives kids lots of shapes to fill in. Down at the bottom, three round-petaled flowers and their leaves bloom among scattered tufts of grass. The outlines are bold and clean with large open areas, which suits preschoolers and early elementary kids still getting a feel for crayons and markers. It also makes a calm activity for a young soccer fan. You could color the pentagons bright blue or red and leave the hexagons white, then give the flowers yellow, pink and purple petals. The PDF is free to download whenever you want a quiet creative break. This page is part of our Soccer coloring pages collection — check out Cheerleading and MLB / Baseball too.
