Draw a Simple Cat

posted in: 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, Animal Life, Crayons, Drawing, How to Draw Tutorials, Kindergarten, Oil Pastel |

Learn how to draw a simple cat by starting with two circles, one for the head and one to help draw the curves of a nice chubby belly.

Circles are one of the harder shapes for them to draw, and I’ve found that a roll of masking tape is the perfect template for them to hold and trace.

Tracing provides valuable fine motor skill practice, and helps students start with a nice large head. It’s kind of hard to draw a nice face if you’re running out of room.
