Cute Animals to Draw Easy for Kids Cute Animals to Draw Easy for Kids Black and White

Drawing is a beneficial pastime, and drawing at an early age helps develop cognitive functions and creativity.

While allowing kids to draw anything is one way to develop their drawing skills, I've compiled a list of 23 easy animals to draw that double as educational activities.

These animal drawings are arranged by style (drawing from letters, drawing from numbers, and drawing from shapes), but I've also included 6 bonus drawing ideas!

Drawing Animals From Letters

What's better than drawing animals? Using the first letters of their names to draw them! These 5 drawings will help enhance a kid's creativity by showing them how to draw animals while also helping them learn about letters!

Let's start with something simple! Oistein Kristiansen shows kids how to draw a snake from the letter "S."

2. "B Is For Bird" Drawing
