How to Draw a Bird's Nest: Step-by-Step for Kids

A nest is a bowl woven from twigs, holding a few speckled eggs. The messy crisscross lines are what make it look real.

What You'll Need

  • Pencil (HB or 2B)
  • Eraser
  • White drawing paper
  • Black marker for the outline
  • Brown, tan and light-blue pencils
  • Coloured pencils or crayons

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Bird's Nest

Step 1: Draw the bowl

Draw a wide half circle, like a bowl. Add a wide oval at the top for the opening.

Step 2: Add the rim

Draw a second oval inside the first one to show the thickness of the rim.

Step 3: Draw twigs on the bowl

Draw many short curved lines around the bowl, crossing over each other in different directions, like woven straw.

Step 4: Add loose twigs

Let a few longer twigs stick out of the sides and over the rim.

Step 5: Draw the eggs

Inside the nest, draw three egg shapes, ovals with one end slightly narrower.

Step 6: Add speckles

Dot tiny speckles on the eggs.

Step 7: Add the branch

Under the nest, draw a thick branch with a few leaves.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the pencil.

Colouring Your Bird's Nest

Use different browns and tans for the twigs so they look layered, with dark brown between them. Colour the eggs pale blue or cream with brown speckles, and the leaves green.

Tips for Drawing a Bird's Nest

  • Do not make the twigs neat. A messy nest looks more real.
  • Draw the front twigs darker and the ones behind lighter to give depth.
