Little Slugger's First Big Glove

Fun Fact

Did you know that baseball gloves weren't always a part of the game? Early baseball players caught the ball with their bare hands! Gloves became common in the late 1800s to help protect hands and make catching easier.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Leather Love - Use various shades of brown, tan, and even a touch of orange to give the glove a realistic, worn-in leather texture. Don't forget the tiny stitches!
2. 2🖍️ Wood Grain Wonders - For the bat, try using different tones of brown and a light, feathery touch to create the illusion of natural wood grain. A little shadowing can make it look round.
3. 3✨ Cap Character - The slightly crooked baseball cap is a great spot for a bright, bold team color! Think vibrant reds, blues, or greens, and maybe a contrasting color for the brim.
4. 4🌈 Smile Sparkle - Give the child's cheeks a rosy glow with a very light pink or peach crayon. Use warm, soft colors for their skin to make their innocent smile shine brightly.
