Look at this happy worker! He is a carpenter. Do you know what a carpenter does? A carpenter builds things out of wood — like tables, chairs, shelves, and even houses!

His hair is short and neat. Not long and messy — just short and clean. He has a big, warm smile! He looks very happy. He loves his job. Building things makes him feel proud and joyful.

He is wearing overalls — those are pants with a big piece of cloth that comes up over his chest. Overalls have straps that go over his shoulders. They are very handy for carpenters because they have lots of pockets for holding tools!

In one hand, he is holding a hammer. A hammer is a tool for hitting nails into wood. It has a heavy metal head and a wooden handle.

In his other hand, he is holding a piece of wood. It is long and flat, just waiting to be turned into something wonderful.

He is standing up tall, ready to work. Maybe he is going to hammer a nail into that piece of wood. Today, let’s follow these step-by-step instructions to learn how to draw this carpenter!
