ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 How To Draw Reya’s Bugs | Character Drawing for Kids | Circle Time with Khan Academy Kids
Hello, friends! It’s wonderful to see you. Welcome to Circle Time! I’m Caroline from the Khan Academy Kids team, and I’m here with my friend Sophie. Hi, Sophie!
Today, we’re going to have a very “buggy” episode because we’ll be drawing some of Reya’s favorite bugs! Do you know who Reya is? Yes, Reya is the red panda in Khan Academy Kids! Before we start drawing, we have a special show-and-tell from our friend Rebecca, who shared her drawing of Reya. Thank you, Rebecca!
Now, let’s get ready to draw some of Reya’s bugs. Reya loves bugs, and we hope you do too! Some of our friends have favorite bugs. Jessica loves ladybugs, Maku likes Christmas beetles, and Emily’s favorite is the grasshopper. What’s your favorite bug?
Our friend Kodi will show us how to draw some of Reya’s favorite bugs. Let’s start with a ladybug:
Next, let’s draw a cool beetle with pincers:
Finally, let’s draw a beautiful butterfly:
Now that we’ve drawn some bugs, let’s take a tour of Reya’s room in Khan Academy Kids. Reya has a bug habitat where you can see different bugs like bumblebees, butterflies, dragonflies, and colorful beetles. A habitat is a place where something lives, and Reya loves to collect bugs!
Thank you for drawing with us and learning about bugs with Reya. We hope to see you again next time. Goodbye for now from Khan Academy Kids!
Bug Hunt Adventure: Go on a bug hunt in your backyard or a nearby park with an adult. Look for different types of bugs and observe their colors, shapes, and sizes. Can you find a ladybug, beetle, or butterfly like the ones you drew? Draw a picture of the bugs you find and share your discoveries with your friends or family.
Create a Bug Habitat: With the help of an adult, create a small bug habitat using a clear container. Add some soil, leaves, and small twigs. Carefully place a bug you find into the habitat and watch how it moves and behaves. Remember to release the bug back into nature after observing it. What did you notice about how the bug interacts with its environment?
Bug Story Time: Imagine you are a bug living in Reya’s room. Write a short story or draw a comic strip about your adventures in the bug habitat. What kind of bug are you? What do you see and do in Reya’s room? Share your story with your class or family and see what adventures they come up with!
