See the grown-up comparison guides before you buy.
Everything here grows out of one big circle, so this is a lovely confidence builder for a young artist. The wavy glaze line is the only wobbly part, and wobbles are exactly what it needs. Draw it side by side, then let your child choose the sprinkle colors.
Make it your own
Set the donut on a plate beside a steaming mug, add a bite taken out of one side, or draw a row of donuts in a bakery box with different glaze patterns.
Draw a donut in four steps
Step 1
Draw one large circle in the middle of the page for the body of the donut.
Step 2
Add a small circle inside it, a little above the centre, to make the hole.
Step 3
Draw a wavy, drippy line across the donut so the glaze pours over the top half.
Step 4
Finish with two round eyes, a tiny smile, and blush cheeks.
