Little Leaguer's Big Dream

Fun Fact

Did you know that the very first baseball gloves were often just regular leather work gloves that players padded themselves? It wasn't until the late 1800s that specially designed baseball gloves became common, helping fielders catch those fast-flying balls!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Texture Time - Use different shades of brown and tan to give the glove a worn, leathery look, adding small strokes to mimic stitching.
2. 2🖍️ Wood Grain Wonders - For the bat, try blending various browns and grays to create a realistic wood grain effect, imagining how the light hits it.
3. 3✨ Stitching Secrets - Pay close attention to the red stitching on the baseball! Use a fine-tipped marker or colored pencil to make those details pop against a white or off-white ball.
4. 4🌈 Smiling Star - Make the child's face bright and cheerful with warm skin tones, and choose vibrant colors for their uniform and cap to show their excitement!
