Tips for drawing with kids

Pencil firstDraw lightly with a pencil, then go over the lines you like with a marker or a dark crayon and erase the rest.
Say it as you drawRead each step out loud, draw it, then look at the picture again before the next one.
Fill the spaceYoung children draw small. Show where the first shape goes so the bunny fills the box.
Wobbly is fineEvery bunny looks different, and a wobbly bunny is still a bunny. Praise the try, then color it in.

About this bunny drawing

The bunny starts with the head and the two feet, then the body is drawn between them. Drawing the big shapes first makes it easy to get the size right, and the body lines just join the head to the feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you draw a cute bunny?

Make the head big and round, the ears long, and the eyes small and wide apart. Pink cheeks and big feet make it cuter still. The bunny on this page shows those steps.

How do I draw bunny ears?

Draw each ear as a long, narrow oval that starts at the top of the head, then add a second line inside it for the pink part.

What age is this for?

Ages 4 to 8. Younger children can start with the trace and draw sheet.
