Drawing is super fun, and today we’re going to learn how to draw a peanut! Grab some paper, markers, or any colors you like. Let’s get started!
First, let’s draw the bottom of the peanut. Make a big U-shape. This will be the base of your peanut. Make it nice and big!
Now, let’s draw the top part. This time, make an upside-down U-shape. Start with a little curve, go up and around, and then come back down on the other side.
Time to make your peanut look funny! Draw two circles at the bottom for eyes. You can make them silly or cute. Add a big circle around the eyes for a funny look, and tiny circles inside for sparkle.
Let’s make your peanut even more special! Draw a mouth, cheeks, or even teeth. You can add fun things like a monocle or a top hat to make it fancy!
Give your peanut some arms and legs. You can make it look like it’s dancing or just standing tall. Have fun with it!
Now, let’s color your peanut! Use your markers to fill it in. Use a darker color to add some details. Be careful not to color over the black lines.
Look at your drawing and see if you want to add more peanuts. Maybe some baby peanuts or ones that are cracked open!
Yay! You’ve drawn and colored a fun peanut. We hope you had a great time. Keep drawing and let your imagination go wild. Happy creating!
Peanut Observation Walk: Take a walk around your home or garden with a grown-up and look for objects that have a similar shape to a peanut. Can you find anything that looks like a U-shape or an upside-down U-shape? Draw or take pictures of the objects you find and share them with your class.
Create a Peanut Story: Use your peanut drawing as the main character in a short story. What adventures does your peanut go on? Does it meet other peanuts or characters? Write a few sentences or tell your story to a friend or family member. You can even draw more pictures to illustrate your story!
Peanut Texture Exploration: Find different materials around your house, like fabric, paper, or leaves, and feel their textures. Try to recreate these textures on your peanut drawing using crayons or colored pencils. Which textures make your peanut look more realistic or fun?
