Read out loud
Every step is spoken.
A friendly voice reads each step, and the speaker button says it again. No reading needed, from 4 years old.
- “Give the cat long whiskers!”
- Again replays the step
- Big buttons for small hands
For kids 4–9 · and the grown-up next to them
Can't read yet? Can still draw a cat.
Draw animals for Kids reads every step out loud and draws the new lines in orange, so children copy them on real paper, a few lines at a time.
Coming to Google Play first · 10 drawings free · No account
Real app, no edits
One cat, start to finish.
Recorded on an Android phone: pick the cat, five spoken steps, three stars.
Sound familiar?
Drawing time shouldn't need a translator.
- “What does it say?”
Most how-to-draw apps write the steps out. A four-year-old cannot read them, so a grown-up ends up reading every line.
- “I can't draw a cat!”
A whole animal at once is too much. Small steps, a few lines at a time, are what makes a child say “I did it”.
- “Just one more video…”
Most drawing apps keep kids on the screen. We would rather the pencil and paper do the work.
- “Why is there an ad?”
Ads that pop up in the middle of a drawing, or a buy button a child can tap by mistake.

FAQ
Questions parents ask.
Can I download it yet?
Not yet. Draw animals for Kids is being tested on Android and is coming to Google Play first. Leave your email and you will get one email when it is live.
Does my child need to read?
No. Every step is spoken out loud and the new lines are drawn in orange, so children who cannot read yet can follow along.
Are there ads?
The free version shows a small banner on the library screen and at most one full-screen ad after a finished drawing, never during a lesson. Ads are set up for children: no personalized ads. Pro removes all ads.
What does it collect about my child?
Nothing on our side. There is no account and no analytics. Drawings and progress stay on the device. Ads come from Google AdMob in its child-directed mode. Details are in the privacy policy.
How much is Pro?
$3.99 a month, or $24.99 a year with a 7-day free trial. Pro unlocks all 40+ drawings (animals, dinosaurs, cars and rockets), removes ads, adds drawing on screen and an unlimited Art Book. Payments and buttons for buying sit behind a grown-ups-only question.
Will it come to iPhone?
Android comes first. iPhone and iPad are planned after that.
Paper's on the table. Let's draw a cat.
