Six steps, one pencil, about ten minutes. One big oval becomes a long-neck dinosaur — follow along on paper, then bring it to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw one big oval lying on its side. Wobbly is fine — this is the belly.
Two curvy lines going up from the front, then a small oval on top for the head.
One long curve out and back again — thick where it leaves the body, pointy at the tip.
Four thick legs like little tree trunks, with round feet at the bottom.
One round eye, a dot for a nostril, and a curvy smile.
Little triangle spikes up the neck, along the back and out onto the tail. Now this dinosaur is yours.
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 the Sketchling project, your kid turns this paper dinosaur into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail swish below is a wink; the real clips go much further.
