About this drawing page
A free printable drawing page with six easy bugs and garden critters to draw: bee, ladybug, butterfly, caterpillar, snail and ant. Each row shows a simple colored example and an empty box, so kids copy the picture shape by shape and then color it. Great drawing ideas for kids who say "I don't know what to draw". Little ones can do most of it with crayons, and a grown-up can read the short questions aloud.

Tips for using it
- Draw the biggest shape first (the body, the house, the cup), then the medium parts, then the tiny details like eyes and buttons.
- Use a pencil and press lightly at first; trace over the lines you like with a marker at the end.
- Turn the paper, not your hand: curves are easier when you can pull the pencil toward you.
- Copy one picture together, side by side. Kids learn a lot from watching a grown-up make mistakes and keep going.
Printing tips
