How this list was compiled: Original list written for Draw This Next on 2026-10-02: 60 toys to draw in five kinds (soft toys and dolls, wheels and tracks, build and puzzle, outdoor and pocket toys, baby toys), twelve of each, each marked easy, medium or hard. The toys and the drawing hints are our own; each hint names the shapes the toy is built from. Every toy is a generic kind of toy: no brand, boxed game, character or licensed figure is named. Two hints state a fact, each read on 2026-10-02 in the English Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org; text free to reuse under CC BY-SA 4.0): the seven pieces of a tangram (five triangles, a square and a parallelogram) in the article Tangram, and meshing gears turning in opposite directions in the article Gear.

Start with the biggest shape

Every toy here is a few plain shapes. A teddy bear sitting is five circles and four sausage shapes; a wooden train of three blocks is three boxes and six wheels. Draw the biggest shape first, then add the smaller ones to it.

Five kinds of toy

Kind, under More filters, sorts the list: soft toys and dolls, wheels and tracks, build and puzzle, outdoor and pocket toys, baby toys. The hard ones turn a toy in space or pile several together. Choose Any level under the button for all 60.

  • Draw wheels and eyes last: small circles are simpler to place once the big shapes are down.
