About this printable
A spiral lives inside a circle, which is a calm puzzle for kids. This how to draw a snail for kids page sets the shell, then the body, then eyestalks, then the spiral and a slime trail. Garden snails after rain are the best teachers. Go slowly. If the spiral jumps off the shell, start it in the exact center. Eyestalks should be short. The smile sits on the body, not the shell. Use this printable for garden units and slow morning work. Color the shell in bands if you like. Keep it original, not a cartoon racer with a helmet. Kids who dislike slimy animals can still enjoy the geometry. Date the page. Draw a leaf on scrap paper beside it using leftover time.
