How to Draw a Snake: A Fun Step-by-Step Guide

Drawing is a fun way to use your imagination, especially when you create cool things like a snake! Let’s learn how to draw a snake using the letter “S.” Grab your crayons and paper, and let’s have some fun!

Materials Needed

  • Crayons or colored pencils
  • Paper

Step 1: Draw the Letter “S”

Start by drawing a big letter “S” at the top of your paper. Make it nice and big! Begin at the top, curve around, and then go back down. It’s okay if your “S” looks different from others; every drawing is special!

Step 2: Create a Second “S”

Now, draw another “S” right next to the first one. This one is a bit more challenging. Start at the top and follow the same curve as the first “S,” but make the end come closer together to form a point. This will give your snake a cool shape.

Step 3: Add the Snake’s Head

Time to draw the snake’s head! At the top of your second “S,” draw a big letter “U” shape. This will be the head of your snake. You can make it as big or small as you want!

Step 4: Color Your Snake

Now that your snake is drawn, it’s time to color it! Use any colors you like. Take your time and enjoy coloring your snake.

Step 5: Add Eyes

Use a black crayon to draw two little eyes on each side of the snake’s head. This will make your snake look friendly and cute.

Step 6: Draw the Tongue

With a red crayon, draw a line coming out of the snake’s mouth for the tongue. You can make it split at the end like a real snake’s tongue, which looks like an upside-down “Y.”

Step 7: Decorate Your Snake

Your snake is ready, but you can make it even more special! Add stripes, spots, or any designs you like. Use different colors to make your snake unique. Maybe use red for stripes or purple for spots!

Conclusion

Great job! You’ve finished drawing and decorating your snake. Remember, we started with the letter “S,” just like the word “snake.” You can draw more snakes or add more decorations to your picture.

We hope you had a blast drawing your snake and being creative. Happy drawing!

  1. Snake Observation Walk: Take a walk in your garden or a nearby park with an adult. Look for things that are shaped like the letter “S” or have curves similar to a snake. Can you find a winding path, a curvy stick, or a twisty vine? Draw what you see and share your findings with your class.

  2. Snake Shape Hunt: At home, look for objects that remind you of the shape of a snake. It could be a piece of string, a scarf, or even a noodle! Arrange these objects to form the letter “S” and take a picture. Bring the picture to class and explain why you chose those objects.

  3. Creative Snake Stories: Imagine your snake drawing comes to life! What adventures would it have? Write a short story or draw a picture about your snake’s journey. Share your story or drawing with your classmates and see what adventures their snakes have too!
