Super Bowl XLVI (46) comes to Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium Feb. 5. Here’s a craft to get you in the spirit. An adult or an older sibling can help you assemble this movable football player after you’ve suited him up in the uniform of your favorite team. Then he’ll be ready to take the field or decorate your room.

Download the PDF pattern below and print off as many copies as you need to field an entire team, or teams!  Instructions are included with the PDF. Below, you can find links to your favorite team’s uniform designs and color schemes, roster, player numbers and more to help you. A second PDF also is available if you just want to color the player in your favorite team's uniform. At right is an example of two figures we created with the pattern.

What you’ll need:
•Crayons, colored pencils or colored markers
•Scissors or a craft razor knife
•7x11-inch piece of cardboard that can be easily cut
(something like a cereal box will do)
•Paste, glue stick or spray-on adhesive
•Awl or nail starter (to poke a small hole through cardboard)
•Plain mini scrapbooking brads or small prong paper fasteners

Have fun!
