Six steps, one pencil, about eight minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your starfish to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw four fat arms with round tips, like a star missing one point.
Fill the gap with one more arm. Give it a thin wrist and a round hand, ready to wave.
Two dot eyes in the middle and a big smile underneath.
One wavy line under the starfish, and a little pebble beside it.
Three little dots on each arm. Starfish are bumpy all over.
Three bubbles floating up and a second pebble on the sand. Now this starfish is yours.
Now draw a starfish with more than five arms.
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 starfish 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.
