Draw it step by step

Six steps to a dog

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

1

Start with the head

Draw a big circle. Wobbly is fine — wobbly circles make friendly dogs.

2

Add floppy ears

One soft ear on each side, like two leaves hanging down.

3

Give it a face

Two dot eyes, a round nose, and a big smile underneath.

4

Draw the body

A round belly under the head, wider at the bottom.

5

Legs and a tail

Four legs to stand on, and a tail caught mid-wag.

6

Finishing touches

A collar, a shiny tag, and one spot. Now this dog is yours.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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