A simple robot drawing in 5 easy steps, made for children aged 4 to 10. Each step adds just one or two lines, so little artists always know what to draw next. The new line in each step is shown in pink.

Tips for grown-ups

Read each step out loud and let your child draw one line at a time.
Wobbly lines are fine. Every robot looks a little different, and that's part of the fun.
Finish by coloring it in. Ask what colors your child imagines.
Draw it twice: once following the steps, then once from memory.

Draw it with read-aloud steps and a tracing guide

In the Doodle Steps app each line draws itself, steps are read out loud for children who can't read yet, and a faint tracing guide sits under the canvas. There are 30 lessons, printable trace sheets, no ads and no pop-ups. The cat lesson is free; all lessons unlock for $19 once.
