How to Draw a Dreidel
Draw a dreidel in 12 easy steps, about 9 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: the front.
Step 1: The front
In the middle of your paper draw a box with a flat top and a pointy bottom.
Tip A square on top of a triangle, all in one line.
Step 2: Top and side
Draw a thin slanted top. From its right corner draw a line down, then slant in to the point.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the front draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile. Draw a small oval cheek beside each end of the smile.
Step 5: The handle
In the middle of the top draw the handle, a long thin U with a tiny oval on top.
Tip Rub out the top's back line inside the handle.
Step 6: A star
Under the smile draw a star made of two triangles: one pointing up and one pointing down, overlapping.
Step 7: Spin lines
Draw 3 short whoosh lines beside the dreidel, 2 left and 1 right, so it looks like it is spinning.
Step 8: The ground
Start out on the left and draw 1 long straight ground line under the point, stopping out on the right.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw a sparkle star up on each side of the dreidel.
Step 10: Sky top and side
Colour the top and the side sky blue.
Step 11: Yellow handle, pink cheeks
Colour the handle and sparkles yellow and the cheeks pink.
Step 12: Blue dreidel
Colour the front blue around the cheeks, leaving the eyes and star white. Your dreidel is ready to spin!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dreidel, drawn by you.
