Draw it step by step

Six steps to a sunflower

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

1

Start with the middle

Draw a big circle near the top of your page. This is where the seeds live.

2

Add pointy petals

Draw pointy petals all the way around the circle. Tuck little petal tips into the gaps behind them.

3

Draw a tall stem

Two lines side by side, all the way down to the ground. Sunflowers have thick, strong stems.

4

Add two big leaves

A big pointy leaf on each side, on a short little stalk.

5

Fill in the seeds

Draw three curvy lines one way across the middle, then three the other way. Now it looks full of seeds.

6

Finishing touches

A line down each leaf, and two tufts of grass. Now this sunflower is yours.

Now draw a sunflower taller than your house.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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