How to Draw a Pancake – Easy Breakfast Food Drawing for Kids

This fun drawing lesson turns a simple pancake into a creative little art adventure. Kids and beginners are guided through easy, step-by-step visual instructions to build a fluffy stack from basic shapes, then gradually add those delicious details like syrup drips, soft edges, and playful toppings. Alongside the illustrated steps, you’ll also find printable PDF worksheets that make it easy to practice again and again. It’s a relaxed, satisfying way to explore food drawing while building confidence with shapes, curves, and texture.

 


Here is how you can find the step-by-step guide from Monkey Pen for how to draw pancakes. 

Step 1: Draw a narrow diamond shape first for the topping.

Step 2: Then add small rectangles below separated by a tiny vertical line at the centre. This looks like a cube.

Step 3: Now add cherry toppings on either side of the cube.

Step 4: Include strawberries too, which lie behind the cube.

Step 5: Show the leafy part on the top of the strawberry using crowded triangles.

Step 6: Add melted chocolate on the right side using a wavy design.

Step 7: Show the melted design below the toppings too.

Step 8: Also, draw and include the melted chocolate on the left side too. 

Step 9: Now draw the layer of pancakes using a rounded braces design.

Step 10: Add a few more layers below with the braces.

Step 11: Draw horizontal lines crossing, one below the other, to differentiate each pancake.

Step 12: Define the third and fourth pancakes with lines crossing horizontally.

Step 13: Below the pancake, on the right side, add a strawberry along with the leafy portion.

Step 14: Include one more strawberry, too, on the right side of the previous strawberry.

Step 15: Show a few blueberries or cherries on the right and left sides below using small round shapes.

Step 16: Provide dots for the strawberries placed above and below to indicate the seeds. Also create tiny dashes and dots within the blueberries that are located below.

Step 17: Now finish the fifth pancake too using a curved line and a straight line lying horizontally.

Step 18: Draw a plate below the pancake using a bigger half oval.

Step 19: Now draw another layer below the lower oval to show the plate’s thickness.

Step 20: The fluffy pancake drawing is over.
