How to Draw a Fidget Spinner (Easy Step by Step)
A fidget spinner is fun to draw because it looks fancy but is built from very simple shapes. You start with a rounded three-leaf shape, then add circles inside it. A few curved arrows at the end make it look like it is really spinning.

How to draw a fidget spinner step by step
How to Draw a Fidget Spinner · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Clover-shaped body
Draw a big rounded shape like a three-leaf clover: one round bump at the top, and one at the bottom left and bottom right. Join the bumps with smooth curves that dip inward between them.
Step 2: The center ring
In the middle of the body, draw a medium circle. Make it nice and round, with space around it on all sides.
Step 3: The center hole
Draw a smaller circle inside the middle ring, so the two circles share the same center. It looks like a target.
Step 4: Top weight
Inside the top bump, draw a circle that sits in the middle of the rounded end. Then draw a tiny circle in the very center of it.
Step 5: Bottom left weight
Inside the bottom left bump, draw a circle in the middle of the round end. Add a small circle inside it.
Step 6: Bottom right weight
Do the same in the bottom right bump: a circle in the middle, then a small circle inside it. Try to make it match the other two.
Step 7: Right spinning arrow
On the right side, draw a curved line that starts near the top bump and bends down and outward. Finish it with a small arrowhead at the bottom end.
Step 8: Left and bottom arrows
Draw a curved line on the left with an arrowhead at its top end. Then draw a short curved line under the spinner with an arrowhead at its left end. Now the three arrows show the spinner going around.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a fidget spinner
- The body is the trickiest part. Lightly sketch three circles in a triangle first, then draw the outline around them and curve inward between the bumps.
- Draw the circles in each bump with the center of the bump as your guide. Make the big circle first, then the tiny one inside it.
- Make the arrows last, and keep them the same distance from the spinner. Draw a gentle curve first, then add the little arrowhead at the end.

How to color your fidget spinner drawing
Try a different bright color for each arm, like red, blue, and yellow, and keep the center ring silver or gray. For a creative twist, color the arrows in rainbow stripes so the spinner looks like it is whirling.
Fidget spinner fun fact for kids
Many fidget spinners have a ball bearing in the middle. It is a ring of tiny steel balls that lets the spinner turn smoothly, which is why one flick can keep a spinner whirling for a long time.
Questions about drawing a fidget spinner
What shapes do I need to draw a fidget spinner?
You need circles and curves. A smooth curved outline makes the clover shape, and circles go in the middle and in each bump.

How do I show that the spinner is moving?
Add three curved arrows around the outside, all pointing the same way around the spinner.
