What You Need

  • Crayons

Step 1: Draw the Letter “D”

First, take your black crayon and draw the letter “D.” Start with a straight line going down. Then, draw a big curve from the top to the bottom. Great job, you made a “D”!

Step 2: Turn “D” into a Dog

Now, let’s make your “D” look like a dog!

Drawing the Face

  1. Eye: Draw a circle at the top of the “D” for the eye. Add a tiny circle inside and color it in for the pupil.
  2. Nose: Draw a small shape like a lowercase “d” at the end of the “D” for the nose. Color it in.
  3. Ears: Draw a curved line like a raindrop coming from the top of the “D” for the ear. Color it black.
  4. Mouth: Draw a happy mouth below the eye and add a cheek line. You can also draw a tongue inside the mouth.

Drawing the Body

  1. Body: Draw a line down from the bottom of the “D” to make the body.
  2. Legs: On the other side, draw a letter “b” for the other leg. Connect the bottom to finish the shape.
  3. Front Feet: Draw two “U” shapes for the front feet.
  4. Back Feet: Draw two more “U” shapes for the back feet.

Drawing the Tail

Draw a small curve from the back of the body, then curve it back down. Color in the tail.

Step 3: Color Your Dog

Now, let’s color your dog! You can use brown or any color you like. Take your time and have fun coloring.

Step 4: Add a Bone

Let’s draw a bone for your dog:

  1. Draw two diagonal lines next to each other.
  2. Add bumps at both ends of the lines to make the bone shape.

  • What other animals or objects can you think of that start with the letter “D”? Can you imagine how you might draw them using the letter “D” as a starting point?
  • Have you ever drawn an animal or something else using letters or shapes before? What did you draw, and how did it turn out?
  • If you could create a new animal by combining different letters, what letters would you use, and what would your animal look like?
  • Animal Alphabet Adventure: Now that you’ve learned how to turn the letter “D” into a dog, let’s explore other letters! Pick another letter from the alphabet and imagine what animal it could become. Draw the letter on a piece of paper and use your imagination to transform it into an animal. Share your creation with your friends or family and see if they can guess what animal you’ve drawn!
  • Dog Detective: Go on a “dog hunt” in your neighborhood or at the park. Look for different types of dogs and observe their features. Notice the shapes of their ears, tails, and bodies. When you get home, try drawing one of the dogs you saw using the steps you learned. How is it similar or different from the dog you drew with the letter “D”?
  • Colorful Creations: Experiment with colors by drawing another dog and using different colors for its fur, eyes, and nose. What happens if you make a rainbow-colored dog? How about a polka-dotted one? Use your crayons to create a unique and colorful dog. Discuss with a friend or family member why you chose those colors and what makes your dog special.
