👍 Why We Love to Draw Shrimp with Noodles
Simple supplies. You will likely have many of these supplies, like dry noodles and paper, laying around the house already!
Learn about shrimp! Kids will learn some surprising facts about shrimp, like how they have five pairs of swimming legs and five pairs of walking legs. You can also point out that there are over 2,000 different kinds of shrimp and that shrimp can swim backwards.
Fine motor skills. When they draw a shrimp with noodles, kids will get to put their developing coloring, gluing and counting skills to good use.
✂️ Supplies
Notes on supplies:
Paper- White is ideal
Dry pasta- Long pasta, like linguine, spaghetti or fettuccini works well
Glue- Elmer's Glue Sticks are our favorite
Markers- Crayons or colored pencils also work!
📝 How to Draw Shrimp with Noodles
Step 1: Outline the three main sections of a shrimp's body as shown (upper shell, abdomen, and tail).
Step 2: Using noodles, break off five small, 1-inch pieces to represent the shrimp's five pairs of swimming legs. Glue these pieces to the bottom of the shrimp's abdomen. Break off five medium, 2-inch pieces of noodles to represent the shrimp's five pairs of walking legs. Glue these pieces to the bottom of the shrimp's protective shell.
Step 3: Add and eye and two antenna to the shrimp's head and color or decorate the shrimp as desired!
