One tall round head, six curly arms, and a friendly wave. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your octopus to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a tall round dome, like an upside-down cup. Close it with a soft curve at the bottom.
Draw four arms under the head, fat at the top and thin at the tip. Curl each tip outward.
Two big dot eyes low on the head, then a wide smile. Big eyes make a friendly octopus.
One arm reaches out to the left and curls up. The other lifts high on the right to wave hello.
Put a row of little dots along the two side arms. Octopuses use them to hold on.
A shine on the head and three bubbles floating up. Now this octopus is yours.
Now draw an octopus doing eight things at once.
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 octopus into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little wave below is a wink; the real clips go much further.
The Animation Studio
Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
