How to Draw a Seed Tray
Draw a seed tray 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 tray top.
Step 1: The tray top
In the middle draw a wide flat shape: a long line in front, a shorter line behind, 2 slanted sides.
Tip Seeds start life in a tray with one little cell for each seedling.
Step 2: The front lip
Under the front edge draw a flat strip the same width for the front of the tray.
Step 3: Six cells
Split the top into 6 cells with 5 slanted lines from the front edge to the back edge, evenly spaced.
Step 4: Soil
In each cell draw a small flat oval for the soil.
Step 5: Stems
From the middle of each soil oval draw a gently curved stem growing up, each a different height and lean.
Step 6: Leaves
On top of each stem draw 2 little pointed leaves, one leaning left and one right, like a tiny V.
Step 7: Table
Draw a long table line under the tray, starting past its left end and stopping past its right end.
Step 8: Sun
At the top right draw a little sun: a circle with short rays round it.
Step 9: Yellow sun
Go over your lines, then colour the sun yellow.
Step 10: Green leaves
Colour all the little leaves leaf green.
Step 11: Brown soil
Colour the little soil ovals brown.
Step 12: Slate tray
Colour the tray top and front slate grey, going around the soil. Six tiny plants!

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