🎨 How to color it

Color the football chestnut brown with white laces, make the goalpost golden yellow, and fill the maple and oak leaves with pumpkin orange, cranberry red, and sunny gold. The football has wide, simple sections for chunky crayons, while the small stars and wind curls work best if your child just colors around them loosely. Try making every leaf that touches the football a different fall color, like the ball kicked a rainbow pile into the air.

The story behind this coloring page

Bram’s Lucky Mud Smudge — Every recess, Bram rubbed the tiny mud smudge on his football three times and whispered, “Boot, scoot, don’t bonk.” It smelled like wet grass and old socks, and he would not let anyone wipe it off. Read the full story →

Every recess, Bram rubbed the tiny mud smudge on his football three times and whispered, “Boot, scoot, don’t bonk.” It smelled like wet grass and old socks, and he would not let anyone wipe it off.

Until one day, Coach Della sprayed the ball clean by mistake. Because of that, Bram grabbed a maple leaf and stuck it where the smudge had been. Because of THAT, his kick went whomp, and the leaf flew up with a hundred crunchy cousins, spinning over the goalpost like popcorn.

“Do it again!” yelled Niko, laughing so hard his whistle squeaked. Finally, Bram passed the ball around, and everyone added one leaf before a kick. Next time you spot the ball in all that windy swirl, can you find the joy Bram shared instead of the smudge?
