If someone was feeling a little crabby but chose to draw this feels better!
Mule
A mule is the next animal on this list.
Anyways, my drawing is a little livelier than our fictional friend.
To draw the head, I visualize a sock puppet with an ear at the top.
Continue by filling in the other details.
Penguin
A beloved and fun penguin waddles in as the next drawing.
If your little ones loveHappy Feet,this one could be a home run!
I recommend starting with a long ovalwith a bit of rounded edges on the bottom.
Fill the flippers, feet, and any hairdo that suits you.
Then draw the belly facial features, and color in as you c’mon!

Lizard
Another excellent and versatile subject to draw is a lizard!
The lines are simple, and the coloring part is fun.
Well start with a rounded bottom triangle for the headthe round part facing outward.
For the tail, draw an oversized six without closing the way a six would.
Mirror this line with another and bring the two to a point.
Finish with the face and tongue, and have fun coloring!
Turtle
The following two can go hand-in-hand, or paw-and-paw, more aptly.
If your kids are The Turtle and the Hare fans, thatll be perfect for you.
First, well tackle the turtle.
Finish by bringing the line back to the top part of the shell after completing the head.
Rabbit
On to the infamous hare, or rabbit, in a simplified way.
The real trick to this rabbit is to use someones hand to do most of the work for you.
Trace that line and fill in the face and ears.
Snail
Another fun customizable animal that is very easy is a snail!
Draw a thumb-like shape for the head and a squiggly line for the bell.
Fill the lines in on the shell and other more minute details.
Dinosaur
Another kids favorite to draw is dinosaurs!
This drawing can also get crafted by tracing someones hand.
Draw the spikes on the back, and fill in the rest of the details.
Peafowl
Our colorful friend, the peafowl, continues the list.
As you would for any hand tracing activity, follow the persons hand but dont connect the bottom.

Keeping a gap of space for the fin, draw in after the body is complete.
Shark
Another sea creaturealmosttoo giant for the page is a shark!
With many angles, this friend is a little complicated but doable for anyone committed enough.

Connect the upper and lower parts of the shark at the tail.
Go back and draw in all the fins and details.
