There are tons of easy drawings for kids that spark inspiration. Drawing is a fun activity for kids and adults of all ages.
I picked out the simplest things to draw so you can help your child get started on their artistic journey.
Things like rainbows, families, and houses are perfect for beginners.
You will have a great time drawing with your child and learning together.
Not all children are built the same; some may prefer coloring pencils over markers.
Others may prefer Sharpie art to pencil art and vice versa.
Experiment and allow your child to choose an age-appropriate drawing tool.
Let this list of 17 easy drawings for kids inspire you today!
1. Home Sweet Home
Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play! This home is simple to make and has a cute little fence around the house. Please have your child draw their home and surroundings.
2. Boom Rocket (Kidsarthub)
Anthony and I got this idea from the Kids Art Hub YouTube channel. It’s a cute family channel where all the children draw with their dad. I find it heartwarming, and following their tutorial, this rocket is relatively easy to make. Here is the tutorial, and you can check out their website here!
3. Happy Sun: Easy Drawings For Kids
Growing up, I always found drawing the sun relatively easy. These easy drawings for kids are perfect for beginners or elementary school kids. The happy sun will bring a smile to your child, too.
4. Happy Family on a Sunny Day
We love to hold hands whenever I take my family out (my mom and Anthony). It’s a nice way to bond as we parade around the town, seeing all that Orlando offers.
5. Rainbow With Chalk
Your child will enjoy creating a rainbow with chalk, but you can also use markers! Rainbows are so pretty, and they help your child learn their colors.
6. The Earth
Planet Earth is where we live; your children will likely want to draw it. Making very easy drawings for kids with this picture is fun. Explain to them that this is home and that it’s the only one with life (for now) out of all the planets. You can spruce up the picture by having your child draw silly little aliens floating in outer space.
7. Nutcracker
My son is obsessed with the nutcracker his grandmother got for him for Christmas. It’s a cute nutcracker, and my son loves to look at it and draw it. He’s quite the creative one! See if your child can make a nutcracker drawing using this picture.
8. Heart
There is nothing that says love like a drawing of a heart. Draw a heart for your child and tell them how much you love them. Your child can also make you a heart too.
9. Emojis
I have a massive obsession with emojis, so I drew these with chalk on the sidewalk. In addition, I added the names of my sister and me along with all the kids (my two boys, my niece, and nephews).
10. Self Portrait
Creating a self-portrait is an incredible discovery for your child, as it teaches them where their ears, nose, eyes, and mouth are. Moreover, try this drawing activity with your younger children to see how they create a cartoon version of themselves.
11. Jack and Sally, The Nightmare Before Christmas
An all-time favorite movie and an easy drawing for kids to make too! Jack and Sally are incredibly simple to draw. Create an outline with a pencil, then use a black Sharpie marker to outline the pencil. You can also make these all year round and hang them up. Voila!
12. Happy Girl in a Wheelchair Medical Drawings
This picture is adorable! Celebrating all medical conditions is empowering, as is creating a nice drawing with your child. Is your child in a wheelchair? If so, this drawing is simple and sweet. It also reminds them that it’s okay to be different.
13. Hey Arnold! Cartoon Easy Drawings For Kids
Hey Arnold is an all-time classic show, and my son made this compilation drawing of parts of his favorite episode. He simply paused the show and drew what he saw on TV, and this is what he made. You can use your child’s favorite cartoon and try the same, or find tutorials on YouTube.
14. Huxi the CF Panda
Huxi is a panda with cystic fibrosis. You can read about this book here on a recent post I made. Pandas are adorable animals; your child can make their own Huxi panda.
15. Extremely Easy Drawings For Kids: Roblox Apocalypse
Does your child love Roblox? Have them draw their favorite scene from the game or research some of their favorite characters to draw.
16. Simple Car
Drawing a car is easy because it doesn’t take much to make it. This is one easy drawing for kids that a child under age five can make. Please help your child draw a car and shade whatever color they want. Please talk about the colors and have your child write the name of the color and what it is in their drawings. Example: A big blue car.
17. Giraffe
Lastly, the zoo is a fun place to visit! We went there last year for the CF Great Strides walk. We saw very tall giraffes, and my son fed them. There are different ways to draw a giraffe; it doesn’t have to be perfect.
