Big shapes first, small details last. Every step adds just one thing, so even your most hesitant artists finish with a slice of pumpkin pie they are proud of.

Before you start: a pencil, an eraser, a sheet of paper and something to colour with.

Draw lightly at first. Dark lines come at the end, once the shapes look right.

Step-by-step: how to draw a slice of pumpkin pie

  1. Step 1. Slice

    Draw the pie wedge with a point on the left.

  2. Step 2. Crust

    Add the wavy crust at the back edge.

  3. Step 3. Filling line

    Draw one curved line along the slice.

  4. Step 4. Whipped cream

    Add the cloud of cream on top.

  5. Step 5. Cherry

    Put a round cherry on the cream.

  6. Step 6. Spice dots

    Add three spice dots.

  7. Step 7. Plate

    Draw the oval plate underneath.

    Draw a fork beside the plate.

  9. Step 9. Steam swirls

    Add two steam curls.

  10. Step 10. Create

    Make one part completely yours.

The pink line is the new part in each step.

Make it theirs

  • Add a background: a fence, falling leaves or a pumpkin patch.
  • Write one thing you are thankful for underneath.
  • Colour it with fall colours only: red, orange, yellow and brown.
  • Colour last. There is no wrong colour for a slice of pumpkin pie.

Teaching it with the projector

The projector version draws each step slowly on the board, pauses while students copy it, then checks in before the next step. Nobody has to talk, so you are free to walk around and help.

Quick Fix: 6 steps, about 3 minutes. Good for a brain break or the last few minutes before recess. Full Focus: all 10 steps, about 5 minutes, with the extra detail.

Curriculum connections

Visual arts: the elements of design (line and shape) and creating art for a purpose. Language: listening to and following multi-step directions. Directed drawing also builds fine motor control and focus.
