Soccer Ball and Referee Whistle Coloring Page

One big ball fills the upper half of this page and a referee's whistle sits below it to the right. The ball is drawn at a size that makes its structure easy to read: a five sided panel faces you dead center, and six sided panels meet each of its five edges, which is how a real ball is built. Count around that center panel while coloring and the pattern makes sense for life. Fill only the five sided panels. Leave the six sided ones as bare paper and the ball keeps its roundness. The whistle below carries a mouthpiece, two air holes in its body and a ring at the back for the cord. Referees use three main signals with it, one short blast for a free kick, two for a substitution and three long ones to end the match, and most children enjoy being told that while they work. Keep the whistle in a single strong color so it does not compete with the ball. Lots of clear white paper surrounds both objects, so this sheet forgives a wandering hand.
