Draw it step by step

Six steps to a mummy

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

1

Start with the head

Draw one big circle near the top. Wobbly is fine — the bandages cover it anyway.

2

Add the body and legs

A tall body under the head, sloping out at the shoulders. Then two straight legs, and a wide foot on each one.

3

Leave a gap for the face

Bring one bandage strip in from each side and stop each one partway across. In the gap they leave, draw one round eye and a small smile under it.

4

Arms out to the sides

One long arm out to each side, sloping down a little at the end. Park a round mitten hand on each one.

5

Wrap the bandages

One band over the top of the head, then four across the body. Let every band sag in the middle so it looks wrapped around.

6

Finishing touches

Tuck one last band under the chin, then hang a long bandage end off a wrist so it can flap. Now this mummy is yours.

Go further

Now draw a mummy who lost a bandage in the wind.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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