Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have these materials ready:

Step 1: Drawing the Eyes

Let’s start by drawing the eyes of our starfish:

  1. Draw a circle for the first eye and color it in.
  2. Draw another circle for the second eye and color it in too.
  3. For extra fun, draw a bigger circle around each eye.

Step 2: Adding the Mouth

Now, let’s give our starfish a happy face:

  1. Draw a big smile for the mouth.
  2. Color in the mouth to make it look cheerful.

Step 3: Outlining the Starfish

Time to draw the starfish’s body:

  1. Draw a line going up from the left eye to make the top of the starfish’s head.
  2. Bring the line back down to the right eye.

Step 4: Drawing the Arms

Let’s add some arms to our starfish:

  1. Draw a line going out to the left from the top of the head.
  2. Bring the line back in, stopping just below the mouth.
  3. Do the same on the right side to make the second arm.

Step 5: Completing the Starfish

Finish drawing the starfish’s body:

  1. Draw a line going down from the bottom of the head.
  2. Create a line that goes up just under the mouth, but don’t touch the mouth.
  3. Connect this line back down to the other side of the starfish.

Yay! You’ve drawn your starfish!

Conclusion

We hope you had a blast drawing your cartoon starfish! Remember, the most important part is to have fun and keep practicing your drawing skills. Happy drawing!

  • What do you think makes a starfish look happy or cheerful? Can you think of other animals that have a happy look?
  • Have you ever seen a real starfish? Where do you think starfish live, and what do you imagine their homes look like?
  • If you could add anything else to your starfish drawing, like a special background or other sea creatures, what would you include and why?
  1. Starfish Exploration Walk: Take a walk in your backyard or a nearby park with your family. Look for star-shaped objects or patterns in nature. Can you find leaves, flowers, or rocks that remind you of a starfish? Draw what you find and share your discoveries with your class!

  2. Create a Starfish Story: Imagine your starfish drawing comes to life! What adventures would it go on in the ocean? Write a short story or draw a comic strip about your starfish’s day. Share your story with your friends or family.

  3. Starfish Craft Time: Use playdough or clay to make a 3D model of a starfish. Try to add details like eyes, a mouth, and arms. Once you’re done, use your model to tell a story about your starfish’s adventures in the sea. What other sea creatures does it meet?
