How to draw a house
A house is a square with a triangle on top. Six steps. Get a pencil and paper, and tap Next for each line.
Step 1 of 6. Draw three sides of a big square for the walls.
All 6 steps
Here is every step at once. The blue lines are the new ones; the dark lines are already on your paper. Draw lightly at first, so you can rub out a line you don’t like.
1. Draw three sides of a big square for the walls.
2. Draw a big triangle on top for the roof.
3. Draw a door with a round top, and a dot knob.
4. Draw two square windows with a cross in each.
5. Add a chimney on the roof, with curly smoke.
6. Draw a path to the door, and a sun.
A tip for drawing a house
Start the roof a little wider than the walls on each side, so it hangs over like a real roof. Keep the door in the middle and touching the bottom line. Use a ruler for the walls if you want them really straight.
Change it up
Once your house is down, make it yours:
- Add a cat in the window.
- Draw flowers by the door.
- Make it two floors tall.

How it was made: Peabody drew this house in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
