How to Draw a Star for Kids
Four easy visual steps turn five soft points into a smiling star. This calm, screen-free drawing project is designed for beginner artists ages 4–8.
See the grown-up comparison guides before you buy.
The star begins with a five-pointed outline drawn with rounded, chubby points rather than sharp spikes, which is far kinder to young hands. A second outline just inside gives it a glowing edge, and a tiny companion star keeps it company. Draw it together and take the points one at a time.
Make it your own
Scatter a whole constellation around it, add a swirl of sparkles, or hang it at the top of a drawn tree. Your child could make it the star a rocket is flying towards, or wish on it in a night-sky scene.
Draw a star in four steps
Step 1
Draw the upper points and side arms of a large five-pointed star.
Step 2
Close the outline so the star is complete, with all five plump points joined up.
Step 3
Add a smaller star beside the large one.
Step 4
Finish with two shiny eyes and a smile on the large star.
