Fun Activities with Our Easy Things to Draw Images
From smiley animals and rainbows to animals, food, and cute objects, there are endless easy things to try that will leave you feeling proud and inspired.
Create cute greeting cards
Once you’ve created a few drawings, try turning them into fun greeting cards or mini posters!
Draw a happy sun, a cute animal, or a silly monster on the front of folded paper, and add a cheerful message inside. These handmade cards are perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes, or just making someone smile.
Create a cute journal
Another great idea is to use your drawings to decorate a sketchbook, notebook, or journal. Fill the pages with easy doodles and watch your confidence grow with each one. You can even make themed pages, like a page of funny faces, a collection of flowers, or a group of cartoon food characters.
Create a fun coloring book
Finally, turn your favorite simple drawings into coloring pages!
Redraw them with bold lines, leave them uncolored, and make copies to share with friends or family. It’s a fun way to create your own art activity and enjoy your drawings in a whole new way.
With so many easy things to draw, you’ll never run out of fun ways to express yourself!
The step-by-step instructions and many of the drawing ideas on Cute Things to Draw include dashed lines running through the center of the page, both horizontally and vertically. By drawing their own center lines on blank paper before starting, learning artists have helpful guides to follow as they draw.
Getting the right size and placement of lines on the page provides visual reference points that help improve accuracy. To create these guides on their own page, students can simply fold their paper in half both vertically and horizontally, slight crease it, then unfold. The best part is that once the drawing is finished and colored, the creases will no longer be noticeable.
