The shuttlecock at the top is drawn extra big with just a few wide feathers, so kids can color each one separately. The racket has only a handful of wide strings, which keeps it from getting too detailed. The boy's big head and huge grin really grab attention. Even kids who are still building pencil control can finish this page with a great result.

🏸 How Does Badminton Work?
Lots of families play badminton in the backyard, but as a sport it's usually played indoors because the light shuttlecock gets blown around by the wind. Players go one on one or two on two over a net that hangs higher than a tennis net. Unlike tennis, the shuttlecock isn't allowed to touch the ground at all. Shuttlecocks for competitions are made with real goose feathers, while practice ones are often plastic. When a player smashes it hard, a shuttlecock flies faster than almost any other ball in sports.
🎨 Creative Tip: What to Do With the Finished Picture
Cut out the colored shuttlecock and hang it from a twig with some string to make a simple mobile. It also works great as an invitation to a backyard badminton afternoon.
🎨 What Colors Work for This Badminton Page?
Here are a few color ideas for the boy, racket, and shuttlecock:
Competition shuttlecocks are usually white, so keep the feathers light.
Plastic practice shuttlecocks are often bright yellow.
A blue sports shirt looks fresh and athletic.
Many badminton courts have a green floor.
💡 Coloring Technique Tip: Color the feathers darker at the bottom and lighter toward the top so the shuttlecock looks like it's floating through the air.
