Everything you need to know about Chunky Badger and our Learn to Draw books.
Chunky Badger is a children's book brand dedicated to making drawing fun, easy, and screen-free. Our how to draw books use a unique "6 simple steps" method that breaks down every animal into easy-to-follow shapes — no artistic experience needed!
Our books are designed for children aged 4–9. They're perfect for beginners, budding artists, and parents looking for kids how to draw books for creative, screen-free activities.
Every animal in our books is broken down into 6 visual steps:
- Steps 1–2: Start with basic shapes like circles and ovals to form the head and body.
- Steps 3–4: Add primary features like legs, ears, and tails.
- Step 5: Add finer details like eyes, mouth, spots, or fur.
- Step 6: Shows the finished, fully coloured animal for inspiration!
No reading is required — it's all visual, so children can follow along independently.
The book features over 45 British animals across three habitats:
- 🌿 In the Garden: Cat, dog, bee, snail, frog, rabbit, butterfly and more.
- 🌾 A Trip to the Countryside: Horse, owl, fox, sheep, hedgehog, cow, badger, pig, highland cow and more.
- 🌊 By the Water: Swan, duck, otter, puffin, crab, seal, dolphin and more.
