Let’s have some fun drawing a dinosaur using simple shapes! Grab your markers and paper, and let’s get started on this exciting adventure!
Before we begin, make sure you have a marker and a piece of paper ready. It’s always more fun to draw with a friend, so invite someone to join you!
Place your paper sideways. Draw a straight line right in the middle. This line will be the base for your dinosaur.
Under the straight line, draw a curved line that looks like a smile or a U shape. This will be the dinosaur’s body. Imagine it as a bucket or a bowl!
On one side of the body, draw a big oval shape. This will be the dinosaur’s head, and it should look like an egg.
Connect the head to the body by drawing a line downwards from the head. This is the neck. You can add a little bump to make it special!
For the tail, draw a curly line from the back of the body. Make it curve up and then down, like a fun tail shape.
Time to draw the legs! Make rectangle shapes for the legs. Draw two legs on one side and two on the other. Connect them to the body!
Every dinosaur needs a face! Draw a circle for the eye and color it in. Add a small smile to give your dinosaur some personality.
Make your dinosaur look cool by drawing triangle shapes along its back for spikes. Add as many as you like!
Now, it’s time to color your dinosaur! Pick your favorite colors and fill in your dinosaur. Use different colors for the spikes to make it pop!
This drawing activity is a fun and easy way to create your own dinosaur. By using simple shapes, you can make a fantastic dinosaur. We hope you had a great time drawing! Keep practicing, and remember, art is all about having fun!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that match the shapes used in your dinosaur drawing, like circles, rectangles, and triangles. Can you find a bowl that looks like the dinosaur’s body or an egg that resembles its head? Draw or take pictures of the objects you find and share them with your friends or family.
Build a Dinosaur: Use playdough or clay to create a 3D model of your dinosaur. Roll the clay into different shapes like ovals for the head, rectangles for the legs, and triangles for the spikes. This hands-on activity will help you understand how shapes come together to form a dinosaur. Once you’re done, display your dinosaur model and explain the shapes you used to someone else.
Story Time: Imagine your dinosaur comes to life! Write a short story or draw a comic strip about an adventure your dinosaur might have. Think about where it would go, what it would see, and who it might meet. Share your story with your class or family and discuss how the shapes you used in your drawing helped bring your dinosaur to life.
