Look at this little creature! He is a shrimp. Shrimps live in the ocean. Some shrimps are very small, and some are a little bigger. But all of them are fun to watch as they swim and wiggle through the water.

Look at his eyes. They are big and bright! They shine like two little black pearls. His eyes help him see everything around him — other fish, tasty food, and maybe even a friendly friend.

Now look at his mouth. He has a sweet little smile on his face. He looks very happy. He is looking straight ahead. Maybe he sees a friend. Maybe he found something interesting, like a tiny piece of food floating by. Whatever it is, he likes it.

Do you see those two long, skinny lines coming from the top of his head? Those are his feelers. They are called antennae. They are very, very long — almost as long as his whole body! His antennae help him feel things around him.

Look at how he is shaped. His body is curled like the letter "C" . He is not straight like a pencil. He is curved like a crescent moon or a banana. When a shrimp curls his body like this, he is ready to snap!

He can stretch out very fast and zoom backwards through the water. That is how shrimps swim — backwards and fast! If you like this cute shrimp, follow the step-by-step instructions to learn how to draw it!
