Soccer Ball In A Mesh Bag Coloring Page

One ball sits inside a drawstring sack, and the net of the sack runs right across its face. That overlap is the whole puzzle of this sheet. Every panel of the ball shows through the mesh, so a child has to decide what happens where a net line crosses a panel edge. Two answers both work. Carry the panel color straight under the net and the ball looks solid behind the bag. Break the color at each mesh line and the bag jumps forward instead. The drawstring gathers the sack at the top and loops once above it, with the cord ends hanging loose on the left. Pleats run down the fabric from that gathered mouth, which is what tells your eye the sack is cloth and not glass. Coaches carry balls to practice exactly like this, four or five to a sack. Leave the mesh unfilled and the drawing stays crisp. Fill the mesh and the ball disappears behind a grid, which is worth trying once so the difference is obvious. Ages six and up handle the overlap best. Younger children can simply color the ball and ignore the net.
