How To Draw A Starfish

I've received some emails from people asking me how to draw a starfish so I thought I would create a blog post. Starfish (also known as Sea Stars) are beautiful and in this post I am going to show you five ways to draw starfish. 

Drawing is a great activity to do with your kids and it can be easy and fun too. Drawing will also allow your children to use their imaginations and be creative. I will show you how to draw a starfish and also a few different ways to make this project a little more fun for the kids.
