Yes! Teaching kids to use circles, ovals, and triangles helps them see patterns. Start with:

  • A cat (circle head + triangle ears)
  • A turtle (oval shell + simple legs)
  • A fish (teardrop body + triangle tail)

Keep it simple and praise the effort—not just the final drawing.


Start with animals made from basic shapes — they’re great for young kids and beginners! Try:

  • Fox: Use a triangle for the face and an oval for the body.
  • Cat: Draw a circle for the head and body, then add triangle ears and a tail.
  • Turtle: Oval for the shell and circles for the feet.
  • Fish: Teardrop shape with a triangle tail.

These animals are easy, cute, and a great way to build confidence with drawing! You can find step-by-step versions on our website or in our coloring books.


Take a photo or scan of their doodle, remove the color with free tools like Photopea or GIMP, and boom—it’s a coloring page! You can even build a DIY coloring book out of their artwork.

Start with:

They have basic shapes and are super popular with young kids!

  • Group drawing challenge: Who can draw the funniest cupcake?
  • Create-your-own-party-hat design
  • Coloring table with custom birthday printables

Try prompts like:

  • Invent your own superhero pet
  • What if trees had faces?
  • Draw your dream playground
  • Create a new planet and its creatures

Imagination grows when the rules are thrown out the window!


Ask them:

  • How many rooms?
  • What magical features? (A slide instead of stairs? A cloud bed?)
  • Who lives there?

Sketch together. Bonus: Add pets, hidden rooms, and secret gardens!


  • Cat + Donut = Catu-nut 🍩🐱
  • Bunny + Ice cream = Bun-cream 🍦🐰
  • Dog + Banana = Dognana 🍌🐶

Kids love inventing mashups. This turns drawing into a game.
