Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The big marshmallow
Draw a big, soft rounded rectangle tilted a little, like a pillow leaning to one side. Keep the corners round and puffy.
Step 3: The stick
Draw a short straight line poking out from the upper left side of the marshmallow. Then draw another short line coming out of the lower right side, so the stick looks like it goes right through.
Step 4: The toasted edge
Near the top, draw a wavy line that starts on the left edge and wiggles across to the right edge. This shows the golden toasted part.
Step 5: The happy face
Draw two round dots for eyes in the middle of the marshmallow, following its tilt. Add a small curved smile between them and just below.
Step 6: The first small friend
In the bottom left corner, draw a short, wide rounded rectangle with slightly curved sides. It is a marshmallow all by itself.
Step 7: Its sweet face
Add two round dot eyes inside the little marshmallow. Draw a tiny smile curve below them.
Step 8: The second small friend
Next to the first one, draw another wide rounded rectangle, about the same size and a little lower. Make the top and bottom gently curved.
Step 9: Its happy face
Add two round dot eyes and a little smile in the middle of this marshmallow.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a marshmallow on a stick
- Draw the big rounded rectangle lightly first. If the corners look too pointy, round them off with a few small curves.
- The stick goes through the marshmallow, so stop each stick line where it touches the edge. Do not draw it across the face.
- For the wavy toasted line, move your pencil in slow little hills and valleys. Start and end right on the marshmallow outline.
