Tips for drawing with kids

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

About this frog drawing

A frog’s eyes sit on top of its head, so the head shape has two bumps. The back legs fold up like a letter Z on each side, which is what makes a frog look ready to jump.

For another pond animal, try how to draw a turtle.
