DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Sports Buddies:  
Vicky Volleyball Paper Craft

With the Olympics coming up, I thought I'd start some Sports Buddies crafts for the kids to enjoy.  Vicky Volleyball is my fourth addition to the Sports Buddies.  I'll be adding others to the Sports Crafts index as I make them.

I wince a little bit doing these buddies because I can imagine all the requests for buddies with specific country or team colors.  Vicky Volleyball is sort of made with the New Zealand team colors.  I'll try to make the each Sports Buddies a unique color scheme so that hopefully you can find at least one of them that represents your preferences.  And keep in mind -- you can always print templates 2 and 3 in B&W and then color them in whatever way you like!
