Draw it step by step

Six steps to a spider

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

1

Start with the body

Draw one big circle low on the page. Wobbly is fine — wobbly circles make friendly spiders.

2

Add the head

A smaller circle on top, overlapping the big one a little. A spider has two round parts, not one.

3

Four legs on the left

Each leg goes out and up, then bends back down again. Start every one on the edge of the big circle.

4

Four legs on the right

Match the left side, leg for leg. Count to eight when you finish.

5

Give it a face

Two big eyes high on the head, then a wide smile under them. Big eyes make a friendly spider.

6

Finishing touches

A silk thread from the back of the head up to the top of the page, then a little pointed hat tipped to one side. Now this spider is yours.

Go further

Now draw a spider knitting a scarf from its own web.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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