Draw it step by step

Six steps to a sea turtle

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

1

Start with the shell

Draw a big oval lying on its side. Wobbly is fine.

2

Add the head

A round head poking out the front, on a short neck.

3

Flippers and a tail

Two big front flippers like wings, two little back ones, and a tiny tail.

4

Give it a face

One dot eye and a happy smile near the front.

5

Draw the shell pattern

A smaller oval inside the shell, a six-sided plate in the middle, and lines out to the oval.

6

Finishing touches

Three bubbles floating up above its head. Now this sea turtle is yours.

Now draw a sea turtle racing a very fast fish.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
