How to Draw a Bean Teepee
Draw a bean teepee in 10 steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: 2 poles.
Step 1: 2 poles
Draw 2 long thin poles leaning in like a tent. Cross them near the top so the tips poke out.
Tip A bean teepee is a tent of poles for bean plants to climb.
Step 2: Middle pole and tie
Draw a third pole up the middle, behind the others. Where they cross, wrap a string tie round twice.
Step 3: The left vine
Start on the ground just outside the left pole. Draw a thin vine winding round it, stopping past halfway up.
Step 4: The right vine
Draw another vine winding round the right pole the same way, from the ground to past halfway up.
Step 5: Heart leaves
Draw 3 heart leaves, point down, on the left pole over every other place the vine crosses it.
Step 6: More leaves
Draw 3 heart leaves on the right pole the same way.
Step 7: Bean pods
Inside the teepee, hang 2 long curved bean pods from each vine on short stalks.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line across under the pole bottoms. Add 3 grass blades outside each vine.
Step 9: Wooden poles
Go over your lines, then colour the tie tan and the 3 poles wood brown, stopping at the leaves.
Step 10: Green leaves and pods
Colour the leaves light green and the pods dark green, and your bean teepee is done!
