Sports Drawing Ideas
For the kid that loves sports and drawing I created a Sports Drawing Symmetry Book for Kids Ages 9-14.
Why the Sports Symmetry Drawing Book Makes a Great Gift for Kids Who Love Art and Sports
Finding a gift that combines a child’s interests in both sports and creativity can sometimes be a challenge. The Sports Drawing Art symmetry workbook offers the perfect solution, blending the excitement of athletics with the fun of learning how to draw. Designed for kids ages 9 to 14, this book makes drawing accessible, engaging, and confidence-building.
Inside, young artists will find 39 symmetrical sports drawings on plain paper that let them practice freehand skills, along with 39 additional designs on grid paper to help with measuring and accuracy. This mix of free drawing and structured guidance allows kids to develop balance, patience, and attention to detail while keeping the activities fun and varied.
The sports theme makes the book especially appealing to children who are active and love games like soccer, basketball, tennis, or skateboarding. Instead of generic subjects, the pages focus on sports equipment and activities they already enjoy, making drawing feel more personal and exciting. From basketball hoops to soccer balls, every page offers a chance to explore familiar objects in a creative way.
For parents, grandparents, or relatives looking for a meaningful gift, this book has plenty of advantages. It’s screen-free, portable, and easy to enjoy at home, on vacation, or during quiet time. It also provides a constructive way for kids to build artistic skills, boosting their confidence as they see their progress page by page.
Whether your child is just beginning to explore drawing or already loves to sketch in their free time, the Sports Drawing Art workbook offers a fun, structured, and rewarding experience. With its combination of sports themes and creative exercises, it makes a thoughtful present for birthdays, holidays, or simply as a surprise to encourage their artistic side.
If your child loves both sports and drawing, this symmetry drawing book is a gift that celebrates both passions, sparking creativity while keeping their love of athletics at the heart of every page.
Sports Drawing Ideas - Digital Downloads
Based on my sports symmetry, drawing book that I mentioned above, I also have a PDF digital download that you can purchase here where you can purchase the PDF and then print and photocopy the pages that you would like. This works especially well if you are a teacher teaching multiple middle school students.
These sports drawing pages are really great to engage someone with drawing that really loves sports and maybe doesn't love art or drawing as much. This way they're drawing something that they are interested in while enjoying the process and developing their job drawing skills.
I also created sports symmetry drawing pages for kids in grades 2-4. This is a PDF digital download that you can download, print, and photocopy to use year after year!
Lastly, you can find my sports symmetry drawing for high school students that has a focus on shading, and observational detail drawing for older students.
