Draw it step by step

Six steps to an owl

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

1

Start with the body

Draw one big egg shape in the middle of your paper. It is the head and the body in one, so leave room on top for two ear tufts.

2

Add two ear tufts

Two little spikes on top, leaning out to the sides. Curve them so they look soft, not sharp.

3

Give it big eyes

Two big circles side by side, almost touching. Put a dark dot in the middle of each one, then a small triangle beak underneath.

4

A wing and two feet

One folded wing down the right side, tucked against the body. Two short legs underneath, and a pair of toes at the bottom of each one.

5

Add chest feathers

Little scoops across the chest, one row under the other. They turn the front into soft feathers.

6

Finishing touches

A branch for the feet to hold, a twig off one end, and a crescent moon in the sky. Now this owl is yours.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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