How to draw a kitten

A huge head, huge ears, and a ball of yarn to bat at. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your kitten to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a kitten

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

1

Start with the head

Draw one big circle. On a kitten the head is the biggest part, so make it bigger than you think.

2

Two huge ears

Two tall triangles on top. Kitten ears look too big for the head, and that is what makes it a kitten.

3

Give it a big-eyed face

Two big round eyes, a tiny triangle nose, and a small smile under it. Big eyes make a kitten look sweet.

4

Draw the little body

A small round body under the head. Make it narrower than the head — a kitten is nearly all head.

5

Paws and a curly tail

Two little paws at the bottom, one front paw up in the air, and a tail with a curl at the end.

6

Whiskers and a ball of yarn

Three whisker dots on each cheek, then a ball of yarn with a loose thread trailing out of it. Now this kitten is yours.

Go further

Now draw a kitten who is stuck inside the yarn.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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