Six steps, one pencil, about ten minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your jack-o'-lantern to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw one big oval in the middle of your paper. Wobbly is fine — wobbly ovals make friendly lanterns.
Curve one line out to the left and one out to the right. Start and finish them both on the oval.
Two short lines climb from the top and lean to the right. Cap them with a small curve to make a fat, stubby stem.
Two big triangles for the eyes, both pointing down. A smaller triangle in the middle, pointing up, makes the nose.
Draw a wide smile with three pointy teeth hanging into it. Make it wider than you think — a big grin makes a happy lantern.
A stalk off the stem, a pointy leaf, and three short glow lines. Now this jack-o'-lantern is yours.
Now carve a face that's surprised, not scary.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
The magic part
Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper jack-o'-lantern into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little leaf sway below is a wink; the real clips go much further.
Make an Animated Movie from Your Drawings
Draw your pumpkin, ghost, or bat on paper, then turn it into a short animated film with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at your side.
