How to Draw a Candy for Kids
Draw a cute wrapped candy in four simple visual steps. This calm, screen-free drawing activity starts with one oval and suits beginner artists ages 4–8.
See the grown-up comparison guides before you buy.
This candy starts from a single plain oval, which makes it one of the friendliest drawings for a child who is still getting comfortable with a pencil. The twisted wrapper ends add a little challenge without needing straight lines. Try it together and see how sweet one oval can become.
Make it your own
Fill the oval with stripes, polka dots or a swirl, then draw a whole bowl of candies in different wrappers, or tuck it into a party bag with a ribbon.
Draw a candy in four steps
Step 1
Draw one wide oval in the middle of your paper for the candy itself.
Step 2
Add a pinched, fan-shaped wrapper end on the left side and another on the right.
Step 3
Draw three short folded lines inside each wrapper fan so the twists look crinkly.
Step 4
Finish with two round eyes and highlights, a small smile, and rosy blush circles on each cheek.
