How to draw a tree

A big cloud of leaves, a sturdy trunk under it, and leaves drifting down. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your tree to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a tree

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

1

Start with the treetop

Draw a big cloud of round bumps. Every bump is a bunch of leaves.

2

Add the trunk

Two lines straight down from the leaves, then curve them out into roots at the bottom.

3

Branches in the leaves

Two branches reaching up into the leaves, both starting where the trunk goes in.

4

Add some apples

Three round apples hiding in the leaves.

5

Grass and ground

A long ground line under the tree, with a few blades of grass poking up.

6

Leaves in the wind

Three little leaves drifting down beside the tree. Now this tree is yours.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper tree 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.
