How to Draw a Crayfish & Crayfish Anatomy

I receive commissions for purchases made through links in this post. Please see our full disclosure policy for more details. Thank you for supporting Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood through your purchases.

The children in our homeschool group are recording their thoughts, observations, and conclusions in a science journal this semester. The science journals consist of blank copy paper stapled together with cardstock covers.

For me, when drawing from a specimen, it can be difficult to know where to start. When I contemplated ways to help other parents/students with both the anatomical terms and the drawing of a crayfish, I kept searching the Internet for something I could not find, so… I made an attempt here to draw up something that might help. It has not yet been tested, but I thought I’d share it in case others are looking to draw a crayfish while identifying its anatomy.

This does not take the place of observation, but it is simply a tool to connect what is difficult and new for some of us. (In the past we have had crayfish anatomy printouts for students to label; this will be the first time we will be drawing from scratch.) Our plan is to examine and identify the parts of the crayfish on the specimen and then review each part as we draw and label a crayfish in our science journals.

Check out what Julie from Cranberry, PA did with her class! She took her students through the drawing of a crayfish (topview) and added an abstract art spin to it!
