In geometry, a hexagon is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon. The total of the internal angles of any simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon is 720°. In this tutorial, we are learning how to draw a Hexagon for kids.
In this tutorial, we will show you step by step drawing of a hexagon for kids. Especially this tutorial is for kids and beginners.

Steps To Draw A Hexagon
A hexagon is a geometrical shape, which has six sides and six angles. Here, “Hexa” denotes six, and “gon” denotes angle. The hexagon is one of the types of polygons. The sum of all the interior angles for a regular hexagon is 720 degrees.
A hexagon is a polygon with six edges. It is defined by six points, which are all on a plane. If all the edges have the same length and the angles at the corners are all 120°, the hexagon is called regular. If the hexagon intersects itself, it is called a hexagram.
Hexagons also occur in nature: Fruits of the Okra are hexangular. The flowers of Ipomoea are hexangular. In chemistry, many Cyclic compounds are hex angles.
Follow the steps below to easily draw a hexagon.
Step 1
At first, start drawing a perfect circle as shown in the image below. You can even use a compass or any circular object to draw a circle. ( Roughly )
Step 2
Then, draw one straight line inside the circle as shown in the drawing. ( Fairly )
Step 3
Now, again construct a chord having 120° angle with the protractor and make the straight line from the end of that chord as shown in the image below. ( Fairly )
Step 4
Again, now repeat the same step (Step3) to draw the sides of the hexagon. (Fairly)
Step 5
Similarly, now again repeat the same step (Step3) to draw.
Step 6
Again, now repeat for last time and draw the same step (Step3) to draw. And hexagon side six so we have to draw 6 sides not more than that.
Step 7
Lastly, now erase the outer lines(circle) and finally, we have completed drawing the hexagon.
Step 8
Lastly, now erase the outer lines(circle) and finally, we have completed drawing the hexagon.
Now, let’s move forward with coloring our hexagon in the next step. This is how you can draw a hexagon with a compass and ruler.
Colouring a Hexagon
After the drawing of a hexagon is completed we move forward with coloring the hexagon. For coloring, we had to choose some basic colors. You can fill color according to your wish too.
Colour Details:
- White
- Black
Final Image of Hexagon
After coloring, we get a beautiful hexagon. You can use a pencil color (we made it digital).
Great Job
Finally, we draw a hexagon and color it beautifully. I hope you find our tutorial easy and simple. If you want a different version of the hexagon you can request us for a drawing.
