How to Draw a Mouth Anatomy Diagram for Kids

1. Begin the mouth anatomy diagram for kids outline by drawing a large, irregular rounded shape. Then, draw another, larger shape around it. These are the lips of the open mouth.

2. Draw a series of irregular, flattened teardrop shapes along the top of the mouth. These are the teeth.

3. Continue drawing overlapping rounded shapes to form more teeth.

4. Begin drawing irregular oval shapes at the bottom of the mouth to form more teeth. Enclose another irregularly shaped molar on each side of the top of the mouth as well.

5. Continue to enclose the overlapping irregular shapes of the teeth on the bottom of the mouth.

6. Enclose the final bottom molars, then use curved lines to draw the heart like shape of the tongue. Contour the center of the tongue with a curved line.

Then, draw short lines between the sides of the mouth and the last molar - and the tongue and final molar - to indicate the gums.

7. Use a long curved line to enclose the throat and uvula behind the tongue. Texture the top of the mouth - called the soft palate - with curved lines.

8. Texture the teeth with curved lines, lending them detail and a three-dimensional effect. Draw two curved lines in the middle of the roof of the mouth.

Then, begin labeling the parts of the mouth. Start with the teeth and upper lip. Draw straight lines from the vocabulary terms to the parts of the mouth they describe.

9. Continue labeling the parts of the mouth. Working clockwise, label the gums, soft palate, uvula, lower lip, tongue, oropharynx, and hard palate.

Your mouth anatomy diagram for kids is now complete. Color your drawing. Almost every part of the mouth is a shade of pink except for the teeth.
