How to Draw a Five-Eyed Monster

9 easy strokes · ages 4+ · free printable worksheet

To draw a five-eyed monster with a 3-5 year old, break it into 9 simple strokes: a big triangle body, a little stick on top, a ball on the stick, one eye, two eyes, three eyes, four eyes and a few finishing touches. Doodle Turtle draws one line at a time and then pauses, so little hands have time to catch up before the next line appears.

Prefer paper? Print a five-eyed monster as a faint tracing outline — your child draws straight over the lines, then colours it in.

Tips for grown-ups

  • Watch first, then draw. The first pass is just for looking — no pressure to keep up.
  • Let the pause do the work. If your child is still drawing when the next stroke starts, tap to pause. Slower is the point.
  • Big paper, fat crayons. At 4 the wrist is still learning; large movements are easier than small ones.
  • Praise the trying, not the likeness. A wobbly monster that they drew themselves beats a neat one you fixed.
