How to Draw the Parts of a Seed for Kids

1. Begin the parts of a seed for kids outline by drawing a long curved line in a bean shape. Don't connect the ends of the line.

2. Draw an oval to connect the ends of the original line. Then draw a long curved line from the oval, roughly parallel to the outline of the seed.

3. Continue the long curved line, running parallel to the outline of the seed until it reaches the oval. Then draw another curved line from the oval.

4. Below the curved line from the previous step, draw a jagged, uneven zigzag line.

5. Extend the jagged line to connect it to the curved line. Then, extend another long curved line from the jagged line.

6. Draw another curved line from the inner outline of the seed. Notice that it has one jagged point.

7. Draw several "U" shaped lines to finish enclosing the leaf shape inside the seed. Contour the first leaf shape with a curved line.

8. Draw a curved line down the center of the second leaf shape. Then draw a curved line in a half-circle shape over the original oval.

Then, begin labeling the parts of the seed. Start with the seed coat. Draw a straight line from the vocabulary word to the plant part.

9. Continue to label the parts, working clockwise. Label the plumule, epicotyl, hypocotyl, radicle, hilum, and cotyledon. Draw straight lines from the words to each part.

Your parts of a seed for kids outline is now complete. Color your diagram. Seeds come in many different colors - red, yellow, green, brown, or purple. Some are even black and white spotted like a cow!

Color the seed lighter on the inside, and more the leaflike plumules green. These will become the first "leaves" you see when the tiny plant emerges from the ground.
