DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Sports Buddies: Benny Baseball Paper Craft
Benny Baseball is my second addition to the Sports Buddies. I'll be adding others
to the Sports Crafts index as I make them.
I'll try to make each Sports Buddy a unique color scheme so that hopefully you can find at least one of them that represents your preferences. And keep in mind -- you can always print templates 2 and 3 in B&W and then color them in whatever way you like!
Materials:
- paper,
- printer,
- something to color with (B&W version),
- scissors,
- glue
Craft Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice (you can mix and match the B&W and color versions if you want less coloring).
- Color the template pieces (if using the B&W version) -- feel free to use different materials for coloring to add creativity/personality to the project (paint, markers, pencils and crayons are all fun choices).
- Cut out the template pieces (young children may need help with this step).
- Glue the baseball buddy together:
- Glue the face on the baseball head
- Glue the hat onto the head
- Glue the head onto the neck (shirt)
- Glue the pants under the shirt
- Glue the arms under the shirt sleeves
- Glue the bat into one of the hands
- Glue the legs under the pants
- If you want the craft to be a smaller project, you can just print the first template and make a baseball face
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
