Draw it step by step

Six steps to a pumpkin

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

1

Start with the middle

Draw one tall oval in the middle of your paper. Wobbly is fine — wobbly ovals make plump pumpkins.

2

Add two round sides

Curve one line out to the left and one out to the right. Start and finish them both on the oval.

3

Draw a curly stem

Two short lines climb up from the top and curl over to the right. Keep the stem stubby, like a thick twig.

4

Send out a vine

One long line waves off the stem to the right. Spiral the end of it round like a spring.

5

Add two ribs

Draw one curved line inside each round side. Start and finish them where the sides do, so the pumpkin looks bumpy.

6

Finishing touches

A short stalk off the stem, a pointy leaf on the end, and one line down its middle. Now this pumpkin is yours.

Go further

Now draw a pumpkin that's afraid of the dark.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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