Draw it step by step

Six steps to a snowman

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

1

Start with a big snowball

Draw a big circle near the bottom of your paper. Wobbly is fine — wobbly circles make friendly snowmen.

2

Stack two more

A middle circle on top of the big one, then a smaller one for the head. Each sits right on the one below.

3

Give it a face

Two coal eyes, a carrot nose pointing out, and a smile made of one curve.

4

Pop on a top hat

A straight brim across the head, then a tall box sitting on top of it.

5

Add two twig arms

One stick out each side, with two little twigs at the end of each — like bare branches.

6

Finishing touches

A scarf round the neck with one end hanging down, and three coal buttons. Now this snowman is yours.

Now draw a snowman who is worried about spring.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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