For grown-ups

Every picture is a few shapes

Each draw-along builds a picture from shapes a child can already make: ovals, zigzags and boxes. A cat is two ovals with zigzag ears; a house is a box with a zigzag roof. The guide shows one shape at a time, faint, under the child’s own lines.

Why the guide wobbles

Some children of six to eight give up on a drawing when their lines are not straight. Scribble draws the guide wobbly on purpose (you can turn it off), so a wobbly line looks like what it is: how drawing looks.

What we don’t do

  • Nothing checks, scores or compares a child’s drawing, and no machine comments on it.
  • No account, no camera, nothing sent anywhere. The how-to card prints to draw again on paper.

Drawing together

Try “one line each”: you draw one shape, they draw the next. Talk about what they drew, not whether it looks right. We make no claim that it raises any score.
