Draw it step by step

Six steps to a bee

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

1

Start with the body

Draw a big fat oval lying on its side. Wobbly is fine.

2

Add a round head

A round head on the left end of the body. Stop the line where it meets the body.

3

Give it a face

Two big dot eyes, a happy smile, and two curly antennae on top.

4

Two little wings

Two round wings on top of the back, one leaning each way.

5

Stripes and a stinger

Three curved stripes across the body, and a little point at the back.

6

Finishing touches

A dotted loop to show where it flew, and a flower to fly to. Now this bee is yours.

Go further

Now draw a bee who is not sure where the flowers went.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper bee into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little wing buzz 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.

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
