Kawaii beach ball on sand with smiling sun, wave, clouds, and pebbles

Kawaii Beach Ball with Smiling Sun and Wave

A cheerful striped beach ball rests on curvy sand while a grinning sun, puffy clouds, and a happy wave watch nearby.

🎨 How to color it

Color the beach ball panels cherry red and turquoise, the sun bright yellow, the wave sea blue, and the tiny pebbles sandy tan. Use chunky crayons in the big ball stripes first, and don’t worry if little hands color over the thick black lines. Try making the ball’s round center a sunny orange button so it looks warm from the beach day.

At Sunny Cove, a new beach ball named Nori rolled bump, bump, bump toward the swishy water. The sand felt warm and soft under Nori’s round sides.

“May I come close?” Nori whispered.

A small wave peeked up with a hushhhh. It touched Nori’s side, cool and tickly, and said, “Slow, little ball. I will rock you.”

So Nori rolled softly, not fast, not far. Ever since, beach balls roll with a gentle bump, bump, bump by the sea. Next time you see Nori’s smile, can you hear the hushhhh?
