A big football helmet rests in the grass with its face mask forward and a laced ball tucked against one side.

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Football collection, made for ages 5–7 and drawn in a Bold & Easy style.

🎨 How to color it

Color the helmet bright red, the face mask silver gray, the football warm brown, and the grass fresh green. Use chunky crayons or markers for the helmet’s big smooth spaces, then switch to a sharp crayon point for the narrow face-mask bars and laces. Try adding one bold team stripe down the helmet to match the two curved stripes on the ball.

The Helmet That Hummed — Every evening, Toby lined up the cones, plopped the ball in the grass, and set the big red helmet by the sideline. Thump, thump, shuffle—everything had its spot. Read the full story →

Every evening, Toby lined up the cones, plopped the ball in the grass, and set the big red helmet by the sideline. Thump, thump, shuffle—everything had its spot. Until one day, the helmet hummed like a bumblebee in a drum.

Because of that, Toby crouched close and heard a tiny voice say, “Kickoff is waiting!” Because of THAT, the grass whooshed tall around him, the white yard lines glowed, and a team of cricket players marched out carrying acorn whistles. Toby tucked the ball beside the helmet and called, “I’m ready!” Finally, under the buzzing lights, he snapped the ball, ran where the crickets cheered, and knew the sideline had saved his spot all along. Next time you see that helmet in the grass, can you hear it hum?
