How to Draw a Step Stool
Draw a step stool in 10 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 stepped shape.
Step 1: The stepped shape
In the middle of your paper draw the stool from the side, like 2 stairs going up to the right.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the side of the tall step draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 4: The treads
Under each top edge draw a line across for a thick tread. Join the low one to the tall step.
Step 5: The cut-outs
Under each step draw a rainbow arch for a cut-out, starting and ending on the bottom edge.
Step 6: Floor line
Start a little in from the left edge. Draw a floor line under it, stopping near the right edge.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw a few little four-point sparkles around it to make it shine.
Step 8: Yellow stool
Go over your lines, then colour the stool yellow, leaving the treads, cut-outs, eyes and cheeks white.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Grey treads, pink cheeks
Colour the thick treads on top of each step grey, and the cheeks pink.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a step stool, drawn by you.
