Today, we’re going to have fun drawing a chameleon! Get your crayons and paper ready, and let’s begin!
First, use your black crayon to draw a small circle on the left side of your paper. This is the chameleon’s eye. You can color it in if you like!
Now, let’s draw the chameleon’s head. Start above the eye and draw a shape like the letter “C.” Curve it around and back up to connect near the eye. This is the outline of the head.
Under the eye, draw a small smile for the mouth. You can add a little curve at the end to make it look cheeky!
For the front leg, draw a tall, skinny “U” shape coming down from the body and back up. Add a small line at the bottom for the toes.
Draw a short line for the belly, then draw another “U” shape for the back leg, just like the front leg. Don’t forget the little toes!
Let’s draw the chameleon’s back. Start from the top of the head, curve up, and then down to connect with the back leg.
Chameleons have curly tails! Start from the back and draw a line that curves down and around, curling into the middle. Take your time with this part.
To finish the tail, draw the other side starting from the leg and curving down to meet the curly part you just made.
Chameleons love sitting on branches. Draw a wiggly line starting from the arm and going to the side of the paper. Add another line between the legs and connect it to the tail.
Draw another wiggly line on the opposite side of the paper to finish the branch. Connect the tail and legs to the branch with lines.
To complete your chameleon, draw a little arm from the chin to the branch. Add a line for the back leg, which will be partly hidden behind the other leg.
Now it’s time to color! You can choose any colors you like. Maybe try green and orange, or use rainbow colors to make it extra special!
Great job! You’ve drawn a chameleon! Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to color your drawing, so be creative. We hope you had fun, and we can’t wait to see your colorful chameleons!
Chameleon Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that match the colors of your chameleon. Can you find something green, orange, or even rainbow-colored? Share your findings with a friend or family member and talk about why you chose those objects.
Chameleon Movement Game: Pretend to be a chameleon! Chameleons move slowly and can change colors. Play a game where you move slowly like a chameleon and try to blend in with your surroundings. Can you find a spot where your clothes match the background? Take turns with friends or family and see who can blend in the best!
Chameleon Story Time: Imagine your chameleon is going on an adventure. Where would it go? What would it see? Draw a picture of your chameleon in a new place, like a jungle or a garden. Share your story with the class or a family member and describe what your chameleon is doing in the picture.
