Draw it step by step

Six steps to a stegosaurus

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

1

Start with the body

Draw a big hill shape, highest near the back. Wobbly is fine.

2

Plates along the back

Five plates like big leaves standing on the hill. Small at the ends, big in the middle.

3

A tiny head, down low

A long neck bending down to a tiny head near the ground. Add a dot eye and a smile.

4

Four sturdy legs

Two short legs at the front and two big ones at the back. The back legs make the hill so tall.

5

A tail with spikes

A pointy tail out the back, then four spikes near the tip. Two up, two down.

6

Spots and a snack

A few round spots on the body and a leaf in its mouth. Now this stegosaurus is yours.

Now draw a stegosaurus whose plates are a different shape.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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