1
Draw a circle for the head and a pear shape for the body. Connect the head and body so there are no gaps between them. When you draw the body, start by drawing a line from the bottom of one side of the head. Go down and come back up to attach the line to the other bottom side of the head. The body will kind of look like an upside-down “U” that’s narrower at the top.
2
Draw an arm on each side of the bunny’s body. Start by sketching the right arm. Draw one line slightly above one of the “shoulders.” Curve the line downwards, following the curve of the body. Take it down to about the tummy area, then bring the line back up to connect it to the bottom of the head. Make sure the hand is rounded to give your Jellycat bunny a plushier look.
- Repeat these steps to draw the left arm, except when you come down to the hand, only bring the line back up to connect to the side of the body. You don’t have to take this line up to the head.

Draw ovals for the feet right below the hands. To create the right foot, draw a line coming from one side of your bunny’s hand. Continue as if you’re drawing a slanted egg, and bring the line around to connect to the opposite side of the hand. Part of the oval shape will overlap with the outline of the body.
- When drawing the left foot, start from the outer part of your bunny’s left hand. Curve the line down to the bottom of the body, then draw a straight line up to connect to the other side of the left hand.
- Both of your bunny’s hands should look as if they’re resting on each foot.
4
Draw long, floppy ears extending out from the top of the head. For the right ear, start a line on the upper side of the head. Draw a long line that goes down to your bunny’s bottom, round it, and bring it up to connect to the middle of the body. The ear will look as if it’s behind the right arm.
- Repeat these steps for the left ear. When you come around to bring the line back up, work the line into the outline of the left arm, then connect it so it’s below the middle of the head.
- Add long, oval shapes inside each ear to give them dimension.
5
Draw the face, and color your bunny. Draw two black dots for eyes, spaced apart. In the middle of the face, below the eyes, add an upside-down triangle for the nose. Draw a curved line that resembles a “J” coming out from each side of the nose to be the smile. Next, color your bunny brown or grey, using pastel pink for the insides of the ears, cheeks, and nose.
- This is your Jellycat bunny, so choose whatever colors you prefer. If you want a neon green bunny or a vibrant orange one, do it!

Jellycat Peanut Drawing

1
Draw two interconnecting circles positioned vertically with a pencil. Draw one circle to be the top of your peanut. Start the second circle inside the lower half of the first circle. Make it slightly larger than the first circle since this will be the bottom half of the Jellycat peanut.
2
Draw two short lines on the sides where the circles overlap. These spots are the points where the circles come together and dip in. The short lines connect the top and bottom circles. They should be slightly curved and only about ¹⁄₂ inch (1.3 cm) long.
- After you add the two short lines, erase the bottom of the top circle and the top of the bottom circle. This should open up the space so that instead of seeing two interlocking circles, you now see your peanut’s body taking form.
3
Create your peanut’s face. In the upper half, where the “head” is, draw two black dots for eyes. Next, draw a curved line below the eyes for the smile. This line only has to be around 1 inch (2.5 cm) long.
4
Add legs and feet to your peanut. Draw two lines that extend outward from the bottom of the body. Draw a pair of lines on both the right and left side of your peanut’s body. When adding feet, start on the inner line of one leg. Draw an oval that connects back around to the inner line. Repeat these steps for the other foot.
- Draw a short, rounded line at the upper part of each leg that connects to the body to close these parts off.
- Erase the part of the leg outlines that appear in your peanut’s feet.
5
Color in your Jellycat peanut and add details. You can use markers, crayons, or colored pencils. Use a lighter shade of brown for the main part of your peanut. Fill in the legs and feet with a dark brown. Grab a medium brown, and add tiny, curved lines all over your peanut to give it texture.
- For a finishing touch, draw a downward-facing curved line at the top center of the head. Erase the line at the top of the head. This bump forms the top of your peanut.
- Color the “bump” using the same shade of light brown you used for the rest of the body. Don’t forget to add a couple of medium brown specks here, too!

Jellycat Donut Drawing

Start in the center of your paper and draw a circle for the outline of your donut. In the middle of this bigger circle, add a smaller circle inside to make the donut hole.
2
Add legs and feet at the bottom of the donut, positioning them slightly on the sides. On the left and right, draw two slightly curved lines extending from the bottom of the donut. To create the feet on the right and left legs, start from the inner line of one leg and draw an oval shape that comes back around.
- The legs shouldn’t be coming out from the middle, but a bit off to the sides of the donut.
- Erase the part of the leg outline that’s visible in both feet.
3
Create your donut’s face. For the eyes, draw two black dots below the donut hole, placing them in the middle. Underneath the eyes, draw a curved line for a smile that’s around 1 inch (2.5 cm) long.
4
Color the donut using different shades. Use a medium brown to fill in the Jellycat donut. Then, color the legs a darker shade of brown. Use pink to color in most of your donut, except the outer edges. The pink is your donut frosting. Shade in the area around the donut hole with a darker shade of pink or a light purple. Use different colors to add sprinkles to the pink frosting.

Jellycat Croissant Drawing

1
Start by drawing three connected squares with rounded edges. Begin by sketching the center square, then add similar squares to each side of it. Keep the corners of the squares rounded to give your croissant a fluffy look.
2
Add the ends of the croissant to each side of the squares. On one side, start from the upper corner of the square. Draw a line that extends out about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm). Round the bottom of the line, and bring it around to connect to the bottom corner of the square. Repeat these steps for the other side of the croissant.
- Think of the tips of the croissant as resembling an oblong rectangle.
3
Draw a pair of legs coming from the middle square. On one side of the center square, draw two short lines downwards. From the bottom of these lines, create the feet by drawing a round line, as if you were drawing a circle. However, don’t connect the line at the ankle. Repeat these steps for the other leg.
4
Create eyes and a smile, and color your Jellycat croissant. In the middle square of your croissant, draw two dots for eyes. Below the eyes, add a curved line for the smile. Position the features in the center of the square. Color each portion of the croissant medium brown, and go with a darker brown for the legs and feet. Enjoy your Jellycat croissant!

Jellycat Marshmallow Drawing

This is the top of the marshmallow. Since this will be the first of two marshmallows, don’t place the oval directly in the center of the paper. Position it slightly off to the side so you can add the second marshmallow next to it later.
2
From the ends of the oval, draw two lines going down. Slightly round these lines instead of making them completely straight. This will add puffiness to the marshmallow. Add a straight line connecting these two lines at the bottom to complete the marshmallow’s body.
3
Draw feet on the marshmallow. For the right foot, draw a circle that starts inside the bottom of the body and goes slightly below it. On the marshmallow’s left side, draw two tiny lines that come out from the bottom of the body. Add a foot that connects to this pair of lines. Slightly extend out the bottom line to create a rounded heel, and bring the line up and around to attach it to the short line above it.
- Add a curved line inside the foot that goes from the “toe” area to the bottom of the heel. It should look as if your marshmallow is wearing shoes.
4
Add eyes and a smile to create the face. Draw two small black dots for eyes in the center of the marshmallow’s body. Below the eyes, add a tiny upward-curved line for the smile. Create dimples by placing two small circles on each end of the smile.
5
Draw a second marshmallow following the same steps. Place the second drawing next to the finished marshmallow. Feel free to change up the details on your second Jellycat marshmallow to make it look a little different from the first.
Color each marshmallow a different shade, like pastel pink and beige for a soft look. Color the legs and feet a medium brown. To make the face stand out, go over the eyes, nose, and smile with a black marker or crayon. For the dimples, fill them in with a shade that’s slightly darker than the body. When you’re done, you’ll have a pair of adorable Jellycat marshmallow besties!
