Monster Drawing for Kids

Children are fascinated by interesting creatures, and they are a great topic to motivate learners in an educational environment. These cute and easy monster drawing activities can be used in many ways with varying levels of artistic ability.

There are monster outlines, step-by-step instructions, tracing worksheets, join-the-dots pages, and complete the monster activities. All of these help kids gain confidence in their drawing skills as well as let them get creative.

The first printables below ask students to complete monster drawings by using their imagination. Afterward, there is some basic information about these strange animals that needs to be filled in. You can also dictate or write instructions on how to complete the pictures, which adds extra language skills to the exercises. For example, you could tell students things such as –

  • The monster has 2 mouths and 6 very sharp teeth
  • The monster has spotted fur
  • The monster has big round ears
  • The monster has a snake for a nose
  • The monster’s eyes are purple

Anything goes here! You can also make these pages pair work or group work activities with one student describing a monster for others to draw. When they have finished, they can compare their creations and see what funny pictures they came up with.

Step by Step monster drawing for kids

Next, we have three instructional pages that show how to draw monsters in simple steps. There is a very easy page for kindergarten-aged children and a couple of harder drawing tasks for older kids. 

Trace and draw monsters

These pages are quite straightforward, learners are to trace the dotted lines to complete the monster pictures. Younger children will get some good pencil practice in doing so. Once completed, they can, of course, be colored in or have finer details added to them.

Join the dots monster worksheets

Some easy monster dot-to-dot pages that ask kids to join the numbers 1-30 and 1-20. Once the cute beasts’ outlines have been completed, facial features and other body details are to be drawn in. This is a creative art exercise with no right or wrong way to worry about.

The finished monster shapes can also be used as writing templates. Students can write about the creatures, make a related short story, and even compose short poems inside them.

If you enjoyed these printables, have a look at the dinosaur dot to dot pages, which are a bit more advanced.

Complete the monster drawings

Last up, we have two cute monster pictures to finish. There is a cute Frankenstein drawing and a cute portly creature, both of which have only half of their drawings shown. The idea is to replicate what is shown, and there is a grid to help be more precise with this.  Alternatively, children can draw different other halves if they want to, which can be a good bit of fun.

If you like these pages, be sure to check out the mirror image drawing worksheets, which are the same, albeit a little bit more challenging.
