  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 wolf fills the box.
  4. Wobbly is fineEvery wolf looks different, and a wobbly wolf is still a wolf. Praise the try, then color it in.

About this wolf drawing

A wolf looks like a big dog with pointed ears and a fluffy chest. The zigzag lines are what make it look furry: use them on the cheeks, the chest and the tip of the tail.
