Look at this little creature! It is a snail. Snails are small and slow, but they are very fun to watch. Right now, the snail is crawling through the grass.

The grass is green and tall, like a tiny forest for the snail. He moves very, very slowly. Slide... pause... slide... pause. That is how snails go.

His body is stretched out long in front of him as he moves. He reaches his head forward, then pulls his body up to meet it. It looks like a slow-motion dance.

On his back, he carries his shell. The shell is like a little house that moves with him everywhere he goes. When a snail gets scared or tired, he can pull his whole body inside the shell and hide. It is his safe, cozy home.

Look at his face. He has a sweet little smile! He looks very happy. Maybe he found some yummy leaves to eat. Maybe the sun feels warm on his back. Maybe he is just enjoying a slow, peaceful day.

Look at his eyes. They are big and round — like two tiny shiny marbles on top of little stalks. Snails have eyes on the tips of two long feelers that stick up from their heads. Now let’s follow the instructions below step by step to learn how to draw this simple snail!
