🖍️ Tools For Success

Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
Pencil
Polymer Eraser
Outline Markers
Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

How To Draw a Lollipop – Step by Step

Lollipops come in many different shapes, colors, and flavors. We’re going with an easy and round classic swirly lollipop.

We’ll go with the traditional swirly colored lollipop. To start, let’s make a circle ring (“o”) as round and symmetrical you can. (‘Symmetrical’ means the same on both sides).
Now let’s find the center of the lollipop and draw a very light and small dot. This little dot will be the first step of making those swirls in your lollipops.
Use that little dot as a starting point and draw a slightly curved line going from the dot to the circle ring.
Now repeat again leaving space from your first curved line and start again from the little dot and curve a second line going to the circle ring.
Leave a little more space and repeat step 4 again.
Repeat until you have 6 even lines going from the dot inside to the edge line of the circle ring. You will now see a swirly pattern of the lollipop.
It’s not a lollipop without the stick. Draw a little stick: start with a line from the edge of the circle and extend it out.
Make another long thin line right next to that one.
Now connect both lines at the bottom until you basically created a skinny long stick.
Finally, color the lollipop with alternating shades.

Done? Let’s Get Creative!

You can add more details and be as creative as you want to; Some real-life ideas are galaxy star shape lollipops, lollipops made with real bugs, and lollipops shaped like funny dinosaurs. You can decorate the stick with a bow and draw a heart-shaped lollipop for Valentine’s Day. The only thing to keep in mind while drawing is to not forget the most important thing which is the STICK! That’s what gives lollipops their signature candy treat look.
