Sports Stars
Tennis Girl
In tennis a score of zero is called love, so a player who's behind 40 to love hasn't won a single point yet. Nobody knows for sure why, but one popular guess is the French word for egg, which looks a lot like a zero.
Baseball Girl
A baseball's leather cover is sewn on with 108 double stitches. Pitchers use those raised seams to grip the ball when they throw a curve.
Football Girl
Footballs are nicknamed pigskins because early ones used a pig's bladder to hold the air. Today they're made of cowhide, so the nickname stuck around even though the pigs didn't.
Golfer Girl
A golf ball is covered in somewhere between 300 and 500 dimples. They help it fly farther than a smooth ball would.
Soccer Girl
The classic black and white soccer ball is sewn from 32 panels: 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. This player has a whistle in her hand, so she may be the coach as well as the star.
Helpers
Doctor Girl
The stethoscope was invented in 1816 when a French doctor rolled up a sheet of paper to listen to a patient's heart. It worked so well that he soon made one out of wood.
Nurse Girl
Florence Nightingale was nicknamed the Lady with the Lamp because she walked the hospital wards at night to check on wounded soldiers. Many people still think of her as the founder of modern nursing.
Healthcare Worker coloring pages
Teacher Girl
Stories say the apple on a teacher's desk began when families paid teachers partly in food. An apple was an easy thing to hand over.
Firefighter Boy
A fire hydrant is a tap connected to the big water pipes under the street, so a fire crew can hook up a hose and keep the water coming. That's why people shovel them out after a snowfall.
Builders and Growers
Builder Boy
People in China were using wheelbarrows to haul heavy loads about two thousand years ago. The wheel carries most of the weight so the builder only has to lift a little of it.
Construction Worker coloring pages
Construction Girl
The first hard hats were made about a hundred years ago for shipyard workers. They were built from steamed canvas, glue and black paint.

Farmer Boy
Roosters don't crow just because the sun comes up. They have a built-in body clock that tells them morning is coming, so they often start while it's still dark.
Gardener Girl
Butterflies taste with their feet. Every time one lands on a flower it's also taking a taste test.
Adventurers
Cowboy
Cowboy boots have a tall slanted heel so a rider's foot can't slip through the stirrup. The pointed toe helps the boot slide in easily too.
Cowgirl
A horseshoe gets nailed right onto a horse's hoof and it doesn't hurt. A hoof is made of the same stuff as your fingernails.
Lighthouse Girl
Every lighthouse has its own pattern of flashes. A sailor out on the water at night can count the flashes and know exactly which lighthouse they're looking at.
Lighthouse Keeper coloring pages
Caveman
People in the Stone Age lived in all sorts of places and caves were only one of them. They also built shelters from branches and animal hides.
