Peanuts are actually legumes that grow underground (certainly not nuts). They are loaded with protein, healthy fats and key vitamins and minerals. Peanuts, native to South America, are now cultivated all over the world — particularly in the American South, parts of Africa and Asia. It’s a polyvalent food that serves many functions — as snacks, peanut butter, cooking ingredients, and oils.

Peanuts are nutritional powerhouses, full of protein, fiber, vitamin E, niacin and magnesium. They can be eaten on their own as a filling snack or paired nicely with a meal.

This short tutorial offers a simple, methodical way to teach kids how to draw a peanut. The steps are simple to understand and written for young artists, making it a great addition to elementary art lessons or creative homeschool time.
