Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The tabletop
Draw a long, flat shape with rounded ends, like a squished pill, but leave a small gap in the top line in the middle. Then draw a second line just below it, with rounded corners, to make the thick edge under the tabletop.
Step 3: Two table legs
Under the tabletop, draw one leg near each end. Each leg is a tall, skinny shape with a rounded bottom, a little wider at the top, with a big gap between the two legs.
Step 4: The round vase
Draw a big circle that sits on the tabletop, right where the gap in the top line is. Add a short, wide neck on top with a flat lip.
Step 5: The flower stem
Draw a short, straight line going up from the middle of the vase opening. This is the stem that holds the flower.
Step 6: The flower petals
At the top of the stem, draw one wavy outline with five round bumps, like a puffy cloud. Each bump is a petal.
Step 7: The flower center
In the middle of the petals, draw a small circle. Then draw a tiny circle inside it to make a ring.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a table
- Start the tabletop with a light, long rounded shape so both ends match, then add the edge line underneath.
- Leave a gap in the top line of the tabletop where the vase will go, so the vase looks like it is sitting on the table.
- For the flower, draw five bumps in a loop like a cloud. If one petal is too big, make the next one a little smaller.

How to color your table drawing
Try a warm brown table, a blue vase and a pink or yellow flower with a bright orange center. For a creative twist, color each petal a different color to make a rainbow flower.
Table fun fact for kids
Bees can see colors that people cannot, including ultraviolet patterns on flower petals that act like landing signs pointing to the sweet nectar in the middle.
