Learn to draw
Grab a pencil and some paper. Pick something to draw, and I’ll show you one line at a time.
Today’s drawing🌼 Draw a flower6 steps · ages 4–7For teachers: open any drawing to draw it with the class, one big blue line at a time. Every drawing has a print sheet. Children’s own pictures stay on their own paper and their own device; there is no class gallery.

How it works
Every drawing here is built from shapes a child already knows: circles, ovals, triangles and boxes. Tap Next and the new line draws itself in blue on top of the lines you already have, while Peabody reads the step out loud. Go at your own pace, go back a step, or switch the grid on to help you place things. There is no video to pause and no ads. When you are done, print every step on one page and draw it again at the table, or colour it in at the Art Studio.
The easiest drawings have six steps and suit four- and five-year-olds (a fish, a flower, a house). The longest have ten (a dragon, a horse) and are for older kids who want a challenge. Each page says how many steps it has and the ages it fits, so you can pick one that is just right.
For grown-ups
- Say what you see rather than “good job”: “You made the ears really floppy.”
- Draw beside them on your own paper, not on theirs.
- Light lines first; an eraser is a tool, not a mistake. A pencil, an eraser and any paper are all they need.
What we never do: no accounts, no uploads, no ads, and no characters from TV or games. All 40 drawings are Peabody’s own, drawn in code, not traced from anyone’s lesson. Nothing a child does here leaves the device. Checked 6 November 2026.
