Drawing is a fun way to show your creativity, especially when you draw something from nature, like a robin! Let’s learn how to draw a cute robin together. Gather your crayons and paper, and let’s begin!
Before we start, make sure you have these supplies:
Take your black crayon and draw the robin’s body. Make a big oval shape. It’s okay if your robin looks different from others. Just have fun and practice!
Now, let’s draw the beak. Make a sideways “V” shape or a little triangle at the front of the robin’s head. This will be the robin’s beak!
Time to add the tail! Draw a line from the back of the bird, then another line a bit lower. Connect these lines to finish the tail.
Let’s give the robin some legs! Draw one leg going straight down, with two toes pointing forward and one toe pointing backward. Do the same for the other leg.
Your robin needs wings! Start in the middle of the body and draw a curve that goes to the back and down towards the tail.
Use your orange crayon to color the belly. Start at the forehead, draw a curve to the wing, and color this area. Take your time to make it nice and bright!
Grab your brown crayon. First, color the beak. Then, color the top of the robin’s head, wings, and tail.
With your black crayon, draw a big circle for the eye and color it in. You can also add a small line on top of the beak for the mouth.
For a cute touch, use your pink crayon to add a pink cheek to your robin. This step is optional, but it makes your robin look extra sweet!
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored a lovely robin. You can add a background with trees or more birds to make a family scene. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and be creative. Happy drawing!
Robin Observation Walk: Take a walk outside with an adult and try to spot real robins. Look at their colors, how they move, and where they like to sit. Can you see the orange belly and brown wings? Draw a picture of what you see and compare it to your drawing. How are they similar or different?
Color Mixing Experiment: Use paint or colored pencils to mix colors and find the perfect shade for your robin’s belly. Try mixing red and yellow to make orange. What happens if you add a little more red or yellow? Experiment with different combinations and see how many shades of orange you can create.
Story Time with Robins: Imagine a day in the life of your drawn robin. Where does it fly? What does it eat? Write a short story or draw a comic strip about your robin’s adventures. Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can add to the adventure!
