Inside the Book: Trace Then Color—Robot Dinosaurs

Trace Then Color: Robot Dinosaurs is packed with 50 different hybrid characters that blend dinosaur shapes with sci-fi details. Think bolts and armor plates, glowing eyes, sharp teeth, power cables, and claws made for stomping. Each robot dinosaur has its own personality and cool little design touches.

Every page features a character with bold, clean lines that kids can trace right on the page, followed by a version to color in however they like. It’s designed to build drawing confidence while still being really, really fun.

And yes—this free robot dinosaur coloring page is one of the 50 you’ll find in the book!

Find Robot Versions of These Popular Dinosaurs in the Book:

  • Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • Brontosaurus
  • Triceratops
  • Velociraptor
  • Plesiosaurus
  • Pterodactyl

and many more…

This book is great for kids who want to draw cool stuff but aren’t quite ready to freehand. Tracing gives them the structure they need, and coloring gives them the freedom to make it their own.


Why Kids Love Robot Dinosaurs

There’s something about combining ancient predators with futuristic tech that just works. Dinosaurs are already cool. Robots are also cool. Put them together? Now you’ve got something unforgettable.

That’s why this robot dinosaur coloring page is such a hit. It’s not just about coloring within the lines—it’s about bringing something to life. Kids love adding their own style to each character. Some go for battle-ready silver and steel. Others fill their pages with rainbow chrome and neon power cores.

And with tracing included, even younger kids can feel confident drawing these mechanical creatures.

Get The Book!


What Makes the Trace Then Color Series Special?

The Trace Then Color series is all about giving kids a path into drawing. It’s not quite a how-to-draw book—but it helps build the same skills. Each page has two parts:

  1. The Tracing Page: A lighter version of the drawing that kids can trace directly on the paper.
  2. The Coloring Page: A bold version of the same design they can color in however they like.

It’s simple, approachable, and it works. Kids learn how to break down characters into shapes and lines, all while having fun and getting creative.

If your child lights up when you say the words “dinosaur” or “robot,” then this robot dinosaur coloring page is a great introduction to the series. Once they try one, they’ll want to do them all.


Designed for Kids Ages 3 and Up

Trace Then Color: Robot Dinosaurs is perfect for younger artists, but older kids love it too. The designs are full of detail but not overly complicated, and every character has a unique vibe. Some are goofy. Some are fierce. Some are downright strange. But all of them are fun to trace, color, and bring to life.

You don’t need any special tools—just a pencil and crayons or markers. And since every page is printed on one side only, kids can use the back for their own custom creations or to practice drawing from scratch.

And let’s be honest—parents and older siblings will probably want to jump in on this robot dinosaur coloring page too. I know I had a blast drawing it.

Draw Robot Dinos


A Creative, Screen-Free Activity That Feels Like Play

One of my goals with every book is to give kids something to do that’s creative, fun, and not glued to a screen. Tracing and coloring are calming activities, and they also help with:

  • Fine motor skills
  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Focus and patience
  • Artistic confidence
  • Imaginative thinking

This robot dinosaur coloring page checks all the boxes—and it’s just one out of 50 characters in the book. Whether your child is already an avid artist or just starting out, this book gives them space to explore and experiment while following along with designs they’re excited about.

Free Activity Page (save and print):


Try the Free Page—Then Keep the Challenge Going

I always include a freebie because I want you to try it out and see what this series is like. If your kid enjoys this bird-like robot dinosaur, there are 49 more characters waiting inside the full book.

Each one builds on the same idea: bold designs that are fun to trace and even more fun to color.

So download the robot dinosaur coloring page, grab a pencil, and get ready to power up your creativity.

If you’ve ever wondered how to draw a robot dog, you’re in for a treat. In today’s post, I’m showcasing a free video tutorial that walks you through the step-by-step process of drawing a fun, mechanical pup straight out of my book How to Draw: Cartoon Robots.

How to Draw: Cartoon Robots

A Perfect Introduction to Drawing Robots

Let’s talk a little about the idea behind How to Draw: Cartoon Robots. I wanted this book to serve as a fun entry point into the world of mechanical creativity. Drawing a robot gives kids the freedom to think outside the box—literally. When you’re drawing something mechanical, there’s no “wrong” way to design a knee, a head, or a tail. That’s what makes how to draw a robot dog so exciting. It’s not about replicating something from nature—it’s about inventing.

In the book, I break each drawing down into six easy-to-follow steps. Whether it’s a towering robo-warrior or a tin can dog with a bone-shaped antenna, the format stays consistent. Step-by-step, kids go from a few simple shapes to a fully realized cartoon character.

The robot dog in today’s free video comes straight from one of those pages. With just a pencil, some paper, and a little imagination, you’ll have your own mechanical mutt in minutes.

Why Kids Love Drawing Robot Dogs

Drawing animals is already fun. Now imagine if those animals had gears for joints and lightbulbs for tails. That’s the appeal. When kids learn how to draw a robot dog, they get to combine what they know about real animals with all the “what-ifs” of science fiction.

What if the dog could shoot sparks when it barks? What if it had solar panels on its back? What if its legs looked like springs?

These kinds of ideas open doors for creative problem-solving and storytelling. And that’s one of the things I love most about creating books like this. It’s not just about teaching drawing—it’s about giving kids the tools to invent their own worlds.

And while we’re on the subject—how to draw a robot dog isn’t just for kids. I’ve had plenty of grown-ups tell me they love jumping into these books too. There’s something universally fun about combining cute characters with sci-fi tech.

The “How to Draw” Series

This book is part of my larger “How to Draw” series, which features tons of fun themes—from monsters to mermaids to animals and more. Each book follows the same structure: 50 original characters, each drawn in six steps.

I created this series with beginners in mind, but I’ve found that kids of all skill levels enjoy them. The goal is always to make drawing feel accessible and rewarding. Even if a kid has never picked up a pencil to draw before, they can open one of these books and create something they’re proud of by the end of page one.

And because I draw every single character myself, the style is consistent across all the pages. There are no AI-generated elements or reused clipart—just hand-drawn characters from start to finish.

How to draw a robot dog is just one example of the fun you can have with a pencil and a few easy steps.

Why Step-by-Step Drawing Works

I’ve been making drawing books for years now—over 70 and counting. And I’ve found that when you show kids exactly how to build a character from the ground up, they build confidence fast.

The six-step format is simple, but effective:

  1. Start with basic shapes.
  2. Add details gradually.
  3. Build symmetry and proportion.
  4. Round out with expressive features.
  5. Ink it if you want.
  6. Color and personalize!

By the time they finish drawing that last step, most kids are eager to draw it again, this time adding their own twist. Maybe the robot dog ends up with rocket boosters. Maybe it’s holding a wrench. Maybe it has a fishbowl helmet.

This kind of creative remixing is what makes drawing such a great skill for kids to develop. And learning how to draw a robot dog is a great way to start.

Get The Book!

Watch the Video – Draw Along With Me

In the video, I walk through each step in real-time so anyone can follow along. I talk about why I draw each shape the way I do, and I offer tips on how to personalize your character as you go.

The robot dog design is a small, chubby little guy with round limbs and a faceplate that looks kind of like a puppy’s snout. He’s got an antenna sticking out of his head and a tail that might double as a wrench.

Like everything else in the book, he’s got plenty of character and just enough tech detail to make him look like he walked straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon set in the future.

If your child wants to learn how to draw a robot dog, this is the perfect place to begin.

Building Confidence Through Art

Drawing is more than just a fun hobby—it’s a powerful way for kids to build confidence, patience, and creativity. Every time a child finishes a drawing, they’re reminded that they can create something from nothing. That’s a big deal.

When I made How to Draw: Cartoon Robots, I wanted every character to feel like something a kid could be proud of. That’s why I keep the steps clear and the characters playful.

Robot dogs, especially, are a favorite. They’re expressive, they’re full of movement, and they offer plenty of room for creativity. Once you’ve mastered how to draw a robot dog, the next logical step is inventing your own.

What does a robot cat look like? A robot hamster? A robot giraffe on wheels?

The possibilities are endless—and that’s exactly the point.

Get Started

Final Thoughts

If your kid is curious about drawing, this book is a great place to start. It’s all about imaginative characters, step-by-step progress, and the freedom to personalize every page.

And if your child has ever wanted to know how to draw a robot dog, now’s their chance to give it a go with a video that walks them through it every step of the way.

As always, I’m proud to share this new freebie and character from How to Draw: Cartoon Robots. I hope you and your kids have as much fun drawing him as I did creating him.

What is Trace Then Color?

If you’re new to my books, the Trace Then Color series follows a simple formula that makes it easy for kids to dive into drawing without the stress of getting everything “right.” Each page features one of my original illustrations printed in light gray. The child traces over the lines with their pencil, pen, or marker, and then brings the drawing to life with color. It’s like having training wheels for drawing, and it’s a great way to build confidence in young artists.

There are no complex steps or overwhelming instructions. Just trace, then color. Simple, fun, and incredibly satisfying.

And when it comes to tracing cool characters, nothing grabs attention quite like a detailed, wild-eyed alien cyborg with wires sticking out of its head.

See All 25 ‘Trace Then Color’ Themes


Inside the Alien Cyborgs Book

Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs” features 50 unique characters that look like they’ve crash-landed from another galaxy and immediately signed up for robot upgrades. You’ll find:

  • Cycloptic alien drones
  • Multi-limbed androids with space armor
  • Gooey extraterrestrials wired up with tech
  • Hovering cyber-aliens with tentacle plugs
  • Mechanical monsters with glowing eyes

Each one is packed with little details that make tracing fun and coloring even better. This isn’t just a bunch of basic shapes with eyes thrown on. These characters have personality. They look like they have names, jobs, weird hobbies, and whole stories behind them.

Want to test it out? Grab your free Alien Robot Coloring Page below and see for yourself.


Why Alien Robot Characters Work So Well for Kids

When I sat down to create this book, I wanted it to feel like an explosion of imagination. The idea of combining aliens and robots gave me full creative freedom. There are no rules. Alien robot characters don’t have to follow normal anatomy, proportion, or logic. One can have wheels for feet. Another can have four eyeballs and a jetpack made of jelly. That kind of creative space is where kids thrive.

The best part? These characters are weird in a good way. Weird is welcome here. The weirder the better.

Giving kids an Alien Robot Coloring Page to trace and color isn’t just giving them something fun to do—it’s giving them permission to explore a universe where creativity is the only rule.


The Magic of Trace Then Color

Over the years, the Trace Then Color series has become one of the most popular styles I offer. I think it’s because it strikes a perfect balance between freedom and structure. Kids don’t have to start from a blank page, but they’re still doing the drawing themselves.

By tracing, they learn the muscle memory of linework, shape, and proportion. But they’re also allowed to experiment. Maybe they trace loosely. Maybe they add new parts. Maybe they finish the tracing and go wild with colors, patterns, or even backdrops.

Every child will approach the same Alien Robot Coloring Page differently. That’s the beauty of it.

Book Details


Who This Book is For

This book is perfect for:

  • Kids who love robots, aliens, or science fiction
  • Young artists who enjoy tracing and coloring
  • Parents looking for screen-free creative activities
  • Teachers who want a fun art station project
  • Anyone who thinks drawing should be fun first

Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs” is aimed at elementary-age kids, but honestly, I’ve had teens and adults say they enjoy it too. The characters are fun enough for younger artists and detailed enough to keep older ones engaged.


What Makes This Alien Robot Coloring Page Special

The free page I’m sharing today features one of the goofier alien cyborgs from the book. He’s got a dome helmet, eyes that don’t quite match, and some mysterious hardware sticking out of his chest. He’s small, awkward, a little bug-eyed, and very traceable.

Once you trace him, that’s when the magic really starts. Give him glow-in-the-dark eyes. Add a laser cannon arm. Make his armor bright pink or radioactive green. You get to decide what kind of alien robot this guy becomes.

Free Activity Page (save and print):


More Than Just a Fun Activity

I believe drawing can teach kids more than just how to hold a pencil.

It teaches:

  • Patience
  • Focus
  • Creative thinking
  • Confidence in their ideas

When they trace something that looks complicated and realize they can do it, that confidence spills over into everything else they do. Especially when they get to show off their finished version of a wild Alien Robot Coloring Page to their friends or family.

And best of all, it doesn’t feel like learning. It just feels like fun.

Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs


Part of a Bigger Universe

The Trace Then Color series has books on all kinds of themes: animals, monsters, food characters, weird creatures, and of course, robots and aliens. With “Alien Cyborgs,” I wanted to push the concept to its sci-fi limits. Each page is packed with fun lines to follow and strange features to bring to life with color.

This book is perfect for those days when your kid says, “I want to draw something cool,” and you want to give them something that stretches their imagination just a bit further.


Ready to Try?

If you’ve never tried one of my books before, this Alien Robot Coloring Page (seen above) is a great way to start. It’s simple, open-ended, and gives a great sense of what the full book has to offer.

So grab your pencils, markers, or crayons. Pull out the page. Get tracing. And meet your first alien cyborg buddy. He’s got circuits, slime, and maybe even a secret backstory—but he’s waiting for you to bring him to life.

Because when you trace and color, you’re not just filling in lines. You’re creating something new. And in this universe, that makes you the artist, the inventor, and the storyteller all in one.

Trace it. Color it. Name it. And above all—have fun with it.

Because this isn’t just any activity.

It’s your own Alien Robot Coloring Page adventure.

These robots and aliens coloring books are designed to be more than just coloring pages.

Plus, they make the creative process feel approachable, even for kids who don’t consider themselves “good at drawing.” Each character is playful, imaginative, and entirely original—crafted to keep your child inspired and engaged.

Let’s explore each robots and aliens coloring books title in detail and how they all come together to create a robust, space-themed drawing and coloring experience.


Trace Then Color: Cartoon Robots

The mechanical marvels in Trace Then Color: Cartoon Robots aren’t your typical cold, emotionless machines. These bots have personality, charm, and a cartoonish flair that make them a hit with kids of all ages. From rocket-boosted helpers to wobbly repair bots with oversized eyes, this book features 50 unique characters that are ready for your child’s imagination to bring them to life.

Get The Book!

What makes this one of the most popular robots and aliens coloring books is its ability to combine fun with structured drawing practice. Each page includes a grayscale version of the character to trace and a blank version for freehand coloring or experimenting with their own twist on the design.

Whether your child wants to trace every nut and bolt or invent their own gear-laden robot army, Trace Then Color: Cartoon Robots gives them the tools to do both. It’s a wonderful way to introduce kids to visual storytelling and build up basic drawing skills while keeping the fun front and center.


Trace Then Color: Cartoon Aliens

If your child prefers life beyond Earth, Trace Then Color: Cartoon Aliens will be their creative companion. This book features 50 strange and delightful extraterrestrials, each with their own quirky personality. Think aliens with six eyes, floating jellybean-shaped bodies, and unexpected outfits—it’s a playground for the imagination.

Get The Book!

What sets Trace Then Color: Cartoon Aliens apart from other robots and aliens coloring books is its variety. Not only are the aliens visually interesting, but they also evoke story ideas. Your child might ask: What planet does this alien come from? What does it eat? What kind of spaceship would it pilot? These types of questions naturally lead to creative writing and storytelling, making the book a gateway to broader artistic activities.

The trace-then-color format also continues to reinforce the fundamentals of art without feeling like a lesson. Kids get to develop line confidence and control, learn about shapes and proportions, and most importantly, have fun doing it.


Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs

The latest addition to the lineup of robots and aliens coloring books is Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs. This book takes the fun of drawing robots and aliens and smashes them together into one epic hybrid. Each character in this book is a blend of alien and machine—think glowing eyes, tentacles, mechanical limbs, and bizarre gadgets integrated into strange alien bodies.

Get The Book!

These aren’t your average sci-fi characters. Each cyborg design is an imaginative blend of cartoon-style whimsy and futuristic design. Some are tall and angular, others are round and gooey with wires sticking out. Kids can trace each character to practice consistency and line control, then add their own flair with colors, backgrounds, and maybe even some accessories.

Out of all the robots and aliens coloring books I’ve created, this one might be the most creatively freeing. Because the designs are so out there, there’s no “wrong” way to color or interpret them. It’s the perfect book for kids who want to experiment with wild color combinations, invent their own characters, or just have a good laugh while coloring something totally ridiculous and fun.


What Makes the Trace Then Color Series Unique?

Unlike traditional coloring books, the Trace Then Color series gives kids a chance to draw and color—not just color. Every page offers a chance to practice tracing first, which is perfect for building up fine motor skills, particularly in younger artists or beginners. It’s a format that helps kids transition from coloring to drawing, all while keeping them engaged with characters that are weird, cute, and just plain fun.

The consistent structure of the books means kids know what to expect with each new page, while the variety of characters keeps things fresh. Whether your child is more interested in robots, aliens, or cyborgs (or all three!), these books offer a structured but flexible space to explore their creativity.

Plus, these robots and aliens coloring books aren’t gendered—they’re just fun. Whether your child is into cute, creepy, mechanical, or all-of-the-above, the characters in these books appeal across the board.


A Great Gift for Budding Artists

Looking for birthday gifts? Rainy day activities? Screen-free time that still feels like fun? These robots and aliens coloring books are great picks. They’re also awesome for road trips, summer downtime, or even as part of an educational art curriculum at home.

If you have more than one child, they can even share pages or work side by side, tracing the same character and seeing how different each version turns out. It’s a great way to encourage creativity and build confidence—especially in kids who are still figuring out what kind of art they like to make.


Why Robots and Aliens?

Why do kids love robots and aliens so much? Because they represent the ultimate unknown. Robots can do anything. Aliens can be anything. These concepts open the door to creativity in a way that more realistic themes sometimes can’t. There are no rules. No one can tell your child their robot has the wrong number of legs or that their alien is too purple. It’s pure imaginative freedom—and that’s what these books are built for.

And when you combine that imaginative freedom with a format that’s unintimidating and approachable, you get a powerful tool for creative growth. These robots and aliens coloring books make art feel doable, fun, and exciting. That’s a recipe for lifelong artistic interest.

What Is “Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs“?

This 106-page paperback activity book features 50 original cartoon characters, each one a hybrid of alien and robot. From one-eyed robotic jelly creatures to cyborg space cyclops, each character is unique, imaginative, and full of personality. The designs range from silly and funny to slightly spooky and strange — a perfect mix for kids who enjoy offbeat, creative styles.

Every page gives kids a full character to trace first and then color however they want. The act of tracing encourages focus and careful observation while reducing the fear of getting things wrong. That makes it easier for kids to build drawing confidence in a low-pressure way.

The final step — coloring — gives them a chance to make the character their own. Bright green? Shiny silver? Covered in pink slime? The choice is theirs.

If your child has ever looked at a robot alien and thought, “I want to draw that,” this book will help them learn how to draw robot aliens by guiding them step-by-step through the process in a fun and approachable format.

Book Details


Who Is This Book For?

  • Kids ages 3–12 who love sci-fi, space creatures, or cartoons
  • Beginners who are learning the basics of drawing through repetition
  • Budding character designers who want to develop their own drawing style
  • Fans of robots, aliens, or anything out of this world

It’s also great for:

  • Parents looking for screen-free activities that still feel engaging
  • Art teachers and homeschoolers looking for creative learning tools
  • Anyone who loves unusual characters with lots of imagination

Why Tracing Works for Young Artists

The Trace Then Color series was created to help kids build confidence while exploring their creativity. Tracing isn’t cheating — it’s training. It teaches hand coordination, introduces form and proportion, and helps younger kids learn how lines work together to build a whole character.

In Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs, every character starts with strong, easy-to-follow lines. Kids trace directly over the character with pencil, marker, or crayon, then jump straight into the coloring. That means every page offers:

  • Instant drawing success
  • A chance to practice without stress
  • Opportunities to experiment with color and personality

When kids learn how to draw robot aliens through tracing, they absorb how each shape and line works together to create the whole. Over time, they’ll start adding their own tweaks — maybe a third eye here, or a different antenna — and eventually begin designing their own versions from scratch.


What Makes Alien Cyborgs Fun to Draw?

Robot aliens are a perfect subject for kids. Why? Because there are no rules! A robot alien doesn’t need to look like anything from Earth — it can be as weird, wild, and wacky as your imagination allows.

Some of the designs inside this book include:

  • A bug-eyed alien with robot crab claws
  • A hovering eyeball creature in a glass jar
  • A mechanically enhanced wolf-like alien

This wide variety of characters gives kids a huge range of personalities, shapes, and textures to play with. And since each page is a clean, single-sided design, markers and heavy coloring won’t bleed through.

When you learn how to draw robot aliens, you open the door to your imagination. Kids can create their own characters, dream up the planet they came from, and even build a story around their strange new friends.

Part of the Trace Then Color Series

The Trace Then Color series includes dozens of books designed to teach kids how to draw and engage their creativity. Each book focuses on a specific theme — from cute animals to monsters, food characters to mythical creatures — and follows the same simple but powerful format:

  1. Trace the character
  2. Color it in
  3. Imagine your own variation

That approach makes it easier for kids to jump into drawing without being intimidated. It gives them repetition and structure without removing the fun.

With Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs, kids get the added bonus of drawing some of the wildest, weirdest characters we’ve ever made.

Checkout All 25 Trace Then Color Titles


Build Real Drawing Skills — While Having Fun

Kids might not realize it, but they’re building real artistic skills as they trace and color each page. As they work their way through the book, they’re practicing:

  • Pencil control and steady line work
  • Visual observation and shape recognition
  • Pattern design and creative thinking
  • Color theory and composition

These are foundational skills that transfer to other forms of drawing and creative expression. And because each character is so unique, kids stay engaged and interested.

And let’s face it: drawing a half-robot, half-octopus alien is way more fun than tracing a basic shape or object. That fun factor makes a big difference in keeping kids motivated.


A Perfect Gift for Creative Kids

Whether it’s a birthday, a holiday, or just a way to encourage creativity at home, Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs makes a great gift. It’s screen-free, low-mess, and endlessly entertaining.

Pair it with colored pencils or markers, and you’ve got a complete art kit for hours of imaginative play. And because it’s part of a larger series, you can mix and match themes based on your child’s interests.

If your child wants to learn how to draw robot aliens, this book is the perfect place to start.

Final Thoughts

Learning to draw doesn’t have to be hard. It doesn’t even have to be serious. With the right tools and a little encouragement, your child can develop real skills while having real fun.

Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs offers just the right mix of structure and creativity. It’s not about perfect drawings — it’s about discovering how much fun it can be to make your own.

About the Book: How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs

The Robot T-Rex is just one of 50 unique characters you’ll find in the book How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs. Every single page in the book walks you through a brand-new mechanical dino—each one designed to be fun, creative, and easy to draw, even if you’re just starting out.

The book combines two of the most loved themes for young artists: dinosaurs and robots. That means jet-boosted raptors, laser-eyed stegosaurs, mech-style triceratops, and plenty of wild hybrid creatures that look like they walked right out of a sci-fi movie set in prehistoric times.

I designed this book for beginners, especially kids around age 5 and up, but I’ve heard from teens and even adults who really enjoy it. The steps are clear, the drawings build from basic shapes, and the robot details are the kind that invite creative thinking. You can follow the book as-is or start customizing your own versions with different colors, armor plates, or extra gadgets.


What Makes How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs a Good Fit?

Here are a few things that make this book work for beginner artists:

  • Step-by-Step Drawing Guides – Each robot dinosaur starts with basic shapes and builds up in manageable steps.
  • Focus on Creativity – Kids can follow the instructions or remix designs to invent their own robot species.
  • Accessible for Beginners – No fancy tools needed. Just a pencil, some paper, and a little imagination.
  • Good for All Ages – Designed for kids, but totally enjoyable for older beginners who like dinosaurs, science fiction, or cartoon drawing.

It’s a fun way to build confidence, practice observation and line control, and get in some screen-free time.

How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs


Why Robot Dinosaurs?

There’s something about robot dinosaurs that just clicks. They feel like action figures brought to life. The mix of organic dinosaur shapes with mechanical textures, armor, and moving parts gives you a lot of room to get creative without needing to be technically perfect.

And for younger kids, it’s a great introduction to the idea of “design.” When they draw a robot T-Rex, they’re not just copying a picture—they’re thinking about how the parts work together: legs, tail, gears, maybe even some jet boosters or claws. That kind of imaginative thinking makes drawing a lot more fun.


Use It for Art Time, Quiet Time, or Even Group Activities

How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs works well as a solo activity or as something you do with a group. If you’re a parent, teacher, or homeschooler, you can use a drawing or two as a fun break or part of a larger creative project. You might even try a “robot dinosaur design challenge” where each kid adds their own twist to one of the characters.

Some families use books like this for rainy-day projects, birthday party stations, or just creative screen-free time during the week.


What Comes After the Robot T-Rex?

After your child draws the Robot T-Rex from the video, they can keep going with more:

  • Robotic Brachiosaurus
  • Rocket-powered Velociraptor
  • Armored Ankylosaurus
  • Mecha-Pterodactyl
  • …and dozens more

Each one is a new chance to draw something fun and build drawing skills without the pressure of getting things “perfect.”

Book Details


Part of a Bigger Collection

If you’ve tried any of my other books before, you’ll know that this one follows the same format: step-by-step characters, beginner-friendly guides, and a clear focus on themes that kids already love. This is one of several themed drawing books in the “How to Draw” series, and there’s always more on the way.

See All Books


Try the Robot T-Rex, Then Grab the Full Book

If you haven’t watched the free video yet, scroll back up and give it a try. You’ll see how the drawing comes together one step at a time—and if your child enjoys that, they’ll probably love exploring the other robot dinosaurs in the full book.

You can find How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs on Amazon and FirstArtBooks.com. It makes a great creative gift, a fun weekend project, or just something different to try instead of another screen.


Thanks for stopping by—and happy drawing! Let me know if you end up customizing your robot T-Rex or inventing your own versions. I always love seeing what kids (and grownups) come up with when they take the basics and run with them.

He’s boxy, he’s cool (literally), and he’s got a personality that’s colder than ice cream. With freezer drawers, magnetic arms, and a digital display face, this Refrigerator Robot is a great introduction to the world of cartoon robotics.

Now that you’ve had a taste of what’s inside, let’s explore everything that makes Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots a must-have drawing book for young artists!


Inside the Book: Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots

Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots is a beginner-friendly drawing book that teaches kids and aspiring cartoonists how to draw fun and creative robot characters using the grid drawing method. The book contains 50 different robot designs, each one with a playful and imaginative twist. From jetpack-powered bots to ones shaped like common household items (like our Refrigerator Robot), this book is designed to spark creativity and build foundational art skills.

Here are some key features of the book:

  • 50 Original Robot Characters: Each robot is unique, funny, and bursting with personality.
  • Grid-Based Drawing Pages: Every character includes a gridded reference and a blank grid for kids to copy the design, one square at a time.
  • Encourages Observation and Patience: The grid method teaches kids to slow down and pay attention to shapes and proportions.
  • Perfect for Beginners: Whether your child is just starting their art journey or looking for a fun way to draw, this book makes the process easy and rewarding.

Whether you’re drawing a Refrigerator Robot or one of our other kooky characters, this book helps artists build confidence while having fun.

Get The Book!


Why Use the Grid Drawing Method?

The grid drawing method is a tried-and-true way to learn how to draw accurately. It breaks down a complicated image into small, more manageable parts. Kids learn to focus on one square at a time, helping them see how shapes connect and build up into a whole image.

Here are a few benefits:

  1. Improves Accuracy: Helps artists keep proportions correct without becoming overwhelmed.
  2. Encourages Focus: Kids learn to concentrate and develop patience.
  3. Boosts Confidence: As they complete more drawings, young artists feel proud of their achievements.
  4. Develops Visual Skills: Enhances the ability to see shapes and translate them onto paper.

The Refrigerator Robot is a perfect example of how even complex shapes can be made simple and approachable using the grid method.


Meet the Robots

While the Refrigerator Robot is definitely one of the coolest bots in the book, he’s just one of many awesome characters you’ll meet. Inside Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots, you’ll find robots shaped like:

  • Video game controllers
  • Bubble gum machines
  • Skateboards
  • Space shuttles
  • Toasters
  • Light bulbs
  • And so much more!

Each character is designed to be fun, weird, and a little unexpected—just like the Refrigerator Robot. The book is filled with personality, and the robots are meant to inspire laughter, curiosity, and lots of drawing.

Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots


A Great Book for Home, School, or Art Class

Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots is an excellent resource for teachers, parents, and homeschoolers. Whether you’re planning a rainy-day activity, filling in free time at school, or adding a creative element to your art curriculum, this book fits right in.

Teachers love it because:

  • It encourages creative thinking and problem-solving.
  • It’s screen-free entertainment.
  • It supports fine motor development and focus.

Parents love it because:

  • It keeps kids engaged for hours.
  • It’s mess-free and portable.
  • It encourages independent learning.

And most importantly, kids love it because:

  • They get to draw really fun characters.
  • They see improvement quickly.
  • It doesn’t feel like schoolwork—it feels like play.

Ready to Draw Your Own Refrigerator Robot?

The best part of the video tutorial is that it brings the page to life. If you’ve never drawn a robot before, the Refrigerator Robot is a great place to start. Once you’ve mastered this frosty fellow, you can jump into the full Draw by Grid: Cartoon Robots book and meet the rest of the robo-crew.

Why Tracing is Great for Learning to Draw

Tracing is one of the best ways to help young artists develop their drawing skills. It helps build muscle memory, improves fine motor control, and gives kids a strong foundation for learning how to sketch on their own. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Boosts Hand-Eye Coordination – Tracing helps children learn how to control their pencil movements and develop steadier hands.
  • Builds Confidence – Kids gain confidence in their drawing abilities as they see their progress with each completed page.
  • Enhances Focus and Patience – Tracing and coloring require concentration, which can improve attention span and problem-solving skills.
  • Develops Artistic Skills – By tracing structured shapes and lines, children naturally learn how to break down complex drawings into simpler components.
