Draw a square and make it 3 dimensional. Finish drawing the dreidel by adding an upside-down triangle to the bottom and a cylinder coming out of the top of the cube for a handle. Draw the ground it’s on by adding a slightly jagged line.
Draw 2 half closed, dizzy looking eyes. Draw eyebrows facing up to show he’s tired. Draw a large, round nose that is wider at the bottom.
Draw lines around the eyes to show that he’s tired and dizzy.
Draw a broken, jagged line for the mouth and draw in a tongue hanging out.
Color the dreidel blue, making the side facing away from you darker. Don’t color the face in blue.
Color his tongue in red. Color his face in light peach. Use oragne for the ground. Add some green to his cheeks to make him look sick and dizzy.
Use pink marker to draw in spinning lines around the dreidel to show it’s spinning. Use black marker to draw in teardrops of perspiration. Use purple marker to draw asterisks and stars.
