Smiling Little Ninja with a Wooden Sword

A cheerful young ninja stands in a dojo doorway, holding a short sword across a belted robe and wrapped boots.

🎨 How to color it

Color the little ninja’s hood sky blue, the robe cherry red, the belt sunshine yellow, and the dojo doorway warm brown. Use chunky crayons for the big hood, robe, and floor shapes, and don’t worry if color hops over the thick lines. Add tiny silver streaks on the sword blade so it looks like it caught a soft morning shine.

In the hush-hush dojo, Tavi held his small wooden sword close. Tap, tap, went his boots on the smooth floor. He wanted to know why every ninja sword had a soft stripe down its middle.

The sword smelled like cedar and rain. Tavi whispered, “Tell me.” A warm hum tickled his hand. Long ago, the moonbeam curled up on the first ninja sword to keep it gentle. Ever since, every ninja sword carries one quiet moon stripe. Can you spot Tavi holding his moon-striped secret?
