For the footballs, I traced a template onto brown paper (it was just a coloring sheet I found). The kids cut it out themselves.
They used a big paint brush for the stripes on the ends,
and a skinny paint brush for the stitching in the middle.
For the basketballs, the kids used pom poms dipped in paint. We used two colors. One was regular orange and the other was a mixture of yellow and orange. They painted a white circle.
When it was dry, we added the black lines with a Sharpie.
And for the baseball, I cut out small white circles and used a pencil to draw in the lines and stitches. I made it very simple with big stitches so it would be easy to trace.
The kids traced the "arrows" with a red marker.
Then they traced the curved line with glue,
and added red glitter.
I displayed them all on one wall with the words, Play Ball.
I even added red stitching to my letters, just for fun!
