🎨 How to color it

Color the gymnast’s leotard berry pink, the thick mat sky blue, and the tall gym bars silver-gray. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big mat and leotard shapes, and don’t worry if the color hops over the bold lines. Add a rainbow swoosh inside the curved motion lines to make her upside-down turn feel extra bouncy.

In the quiet corner gym, a tiny silver button went tink-tink across the mat. Lulu crawled after it, nose low, ponytail swish-swishing. That button came from her first soft gym shoe, and she wanted it back before nap time.

It rolled under her hand. Lulu popped upside down to catch it with her toes. “Oh!” she whispered. The air made a round whoosh around her legs. Ever since, gymnasts keep those swoosh marks to show where curiosity ran away with them. Can you find Lulu’s big whoosh?
