Stars Around a Basketball Hoop and Ball

At the bottom of the page sits a big round basketball, with a hoop and backboard rising right above it. The net hangs in a crisscross diamond pattern and touches the top of the ball, so it looks like a swoosh is about to happen. Inside the rectangular backboard there's a smaller square, and the rim is drawn as an oval. Four little five-point stars float around the hoop, two on each side. Thick, clean outlines and roomy spaces suit younger kids, while the net and ball seams give older ones more to work on. Orange with black seams is the classic pick for the ball, and yellow stars with a blue or red backboard would look great. Download it as a free PDF for a classroom project or weekend craft.
