Draw it step by step

Six steps to a bat

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw one big circle in the middle of your paper. It is the head and the body in one, so leave room on both sides for wings.

2

Add two pointed ears

Two tall ears on top, leaning out a little. Curve the outside edge so they look soft, not sharp.

3

Spread the wings

One wing out each side. Sweep the top edge up to a point, then wobble back to the body in two scoops.

4

Give it a face

Two big dot eyes above the middle, and a wide smile underneath.

5

Fangs and feet

Two tiny fangs hanging off the smile, and two little legs dangling below. Keep the fangs small — this bat is friendly.

6

Finishing touches

A crescent moon above one wing, and two tiny stars. Now this bat is yours.

Go further

Now draw a bat hanging upside down from a branch.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper bat into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little wing flap below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
