How to Draw a Peg Puzzle
Draw a peg puzzle in 11 easy 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: the board.
Step 1: The board
A little below the middle, draw a long flat board with soft corners, wider than a ruler is long.
Step 2: The fish piece
On the left of the board, draw a fish: an oval body with a big forked tail on the right.
Step 3: The face
On the fish, draw 2 big egg eyes with a dot in each. Add a U smile under them.
Step 4: The apple piece
Leaving a gap after the fish, draw a round apple with a dip at the top and a tiny stem.
Step 5: The star piece
On the right, leaving another gap, draw a big 5-point star for the star piece.
Step 6: Lift knobs
Draw a round knob on each piece: on the fish's tail, and in the middle of the apple and star.
Step 7: Ground line
Start near the left edge. Draw a straight ground line across under the board, stopping near the right edge.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 little 4-point sparkles above the board to make it shine.
Step 9: Yellow star, pink cheeks
Go over your lines. Colour the star and sparkles yellow, going around its knob. Colour 2 pink cheeks.
Step 10: Orange fish, red apple
Colour the fish orange and the apple red, going around the cheeks and knobs. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Wood board
Colour the board wood brown around the pieces, and the 3 knobs slate grey.
