✏️ Materials Needed:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Black marker or pen (for outlining)
- Crayons or color pencils
🎨 Drawing Steps
✅ Step 1 – Draw the Shell Spiral
Draw a big spiral shape, like a cinnamon roll or a spring.
Start in the center and slowly spiral outwards.
✅ Step 2 – Draw the Outer Shell
Now, draw a large circle around the spiral to form the outside of the snail’s shell.
It should look like a lollipop!
✅ Step 3 – Draw the Body
Starting at the bottom of the shell, draw a curved line going forward and looping back.
This is the snail’s body. Make it look like a soft jellybean under the shell.
✅ Step 4 – Add the Head
At the front of the body, draw a rounded bump. This is the snail’s head.
✅ Step 5 – Draw the Eyes
From the top of the head, draw two short antennae going up.
At the end of each one, draw a small circle for the eyes.
✅ Step 6 – Draw a Smile
Let’s make it friendly! Draw a smile on the face.
You can also add tiny blush circles or dots near the cheeks.
✅ Step 7 – Add Details
Add lines on the snail’s shell to make it look more real.
You can also draw a small leaf or flower next to it!
✅ Step 8 – Outline
Trace over your pencil drawing with a black marker.
✅ Step 9 – Color
Use brown or orange for the shell, and light green or yellow for the body.
Or make it rainbow — it’s your snail!
