How to Draw a Owl for Kids
Draw a wide-eyed owl in four simple steps. Big circles for eyes and a rounded body make this a satisfying project for young artists ages 4–8.
See the grown-up comparison guides before you buy.
This owl begins with a rounded body shape that already has two pointed ear tufts on top, so it looks like an owl from the very first line. The two huge eyes at the end are the fun part. Read the steps aloud and let your child take charge of the face.
Make it your own
Perch your owl on a branch with a crescent moon and a few stars behind it. Little V shapes across the tummy make convincing feathers, and a sleepy half-closed eye works too.
Draw a owl in four steps
Step 1
Draw a rounded shape with two small pointed tufts sticking up from the top like little ears.
Step 2
Add one long, leaf-shaped wing down each side, tucked close against the body.
Step 3
Round out the full body below the wings and add two small feet with tiny toes at the bottom.
Step 4
Finish with two big circle eyes with dark pupils, a small triangle beak between them and a curved tummy line.
