Two dogs to draw, from easiest to harder: a round little puppy and a cute dog with a muzzle and a wagging tail. In each step the black lines are new and the gray lines are what you have already drawn. Every dog here comes with four free printables: the steps on one page, a dog to trace, a coloring page and a draw and write sheet.

Download PDFBoth dogs start with the head, because the head decides how big everything else is. The easy puppy is made of simple rounded shapes, so a four-year-old can follow it. The cute dog adds a muzzle, the round part around the nose and mouth that makes a dog look like a dog and not a bear.
The draw and write sheets ask the child to finish a sentence about their dog, which turns a drawing lesson into a short writing lesson too. For a third animal, try how to draw a cat.
Start with a rounded square for the head and add two floppy ears on the sides. Draw dot eyes, a little nose and a smile, then two curved lines for the body, four lines for the front legs and round bumps for the back legs. That is the easy puppy on this page, in seven steps.
Make the head big compared with the body, the ears big and floppy, and the legs short. Big heads and short legs are what make a dog look like a puppy.
The easy puppy suits ages 4 to 7 and the cute dog ages 5 to 8. Older children can try both and then draw their own dog from memory.
