How to draw a mouse

Two big round ears, a pointed nose, and a tail longer than the rest of the mouse. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your mouse to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a mouse

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

1

Start with the head

Draw a big head shaped like an egg — round on top, narrower at the bottom. That narrow end is the snout.

2

Add two big ears

One big round ear on each side. Make them bigger than you think — mice have huge ears.

3

Give it a face

Two small dot eyes, an oval nose low on the face, and a little smile under it.

4

Draw the body

A small pear under the head, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

5

Paws and a long tail

Two tiny paws on the tummy, then one long thin tail that sweeps out and curls back.

6

Whiskers and cheese

Three whiskers on each side, a line inside each ear, and a wedge of cheese. Now this mouse is yours.

Now draw a mouse who is bigger than the cat.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper mouse 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.
