“The author really does a great job demonstrating how easy (and rewarding!) it can be to draw seemingly ordinary things you (and your little ones!) may feel too intimidated to try drawing without the step-by-step guide! Putting already-known shapes together and making something new and original is a fantastic way to learn! And recognizing that you can add your own twists and personality to your drawings makes all the difference. I think it’s a fun, original approach to building confidence for a lifelong hobby. I have the ebook copy, and can only imagine how great a physical copy would be!”

– Daenarah [Amazon Review]

“There are several of these fun books by this author. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with these. It’s a great activity to do as a family and see how they all turn out. Almost like a sip and paint but more of a juice box and draw.”

Allison B. [Amazon Review]

My kids can’t wait to start drawing these monsters in their illustrations! The many different moods of the monsters appeal to their different personalities. We love the many options, styles, and opportunities to expand upon the characters. Recommended for all ages!

– Kasey [Amazon Review]

“Kevin has put out many books on drawing and animation, and has such a great feel for HOW to explain the process. His art is so expressive and kid-friendly, but his real strength is in his ability to really explain and show how it’s done, making it accessible to kids and adults. I’m a firm believer that not everyone who “can do” can teach, but Kevin does both beautifully! Pick this up and watch kids have a blast making robots of all sorts, while learning great fundamental art skills at the same time!”

Tom R. [Amazon Review]

“My 5yo LOVES this book! The drawings are cute and the instructions are easy to follow along with. She gets a kick out of drawing muffin monsters and ketchup monsters and it actually keeps her pretty focused for long periods of time.”

– Monica [Amazon Review]

“This is a fantastic book for kids who love art, cartoons, comic books, or just having fun! There are a lot of characters to choose from, and really easy step-by-step instructions to follow. You child will have a blast drawing these fun, silly characters! And just in time for Easter baskets!”

Each character is broken down into easy stages so kids can follow along without feeling overwhelmed. By building each drawing one step at a time, artists gain confidence while developing important drawing skills.

Mutant animals are especially fun to draw because anything is possible. A creature might have extra eyes, unusual horns, unexpected tails, or strange combinations of animal traits. These imaginative designs encourage kids to think creatively and experiment with their own ideas while drawing.

The How to Draw series focuses on making drawing approachable and enjoyable. Instead of complicated instructions, each character is presented in a clear sequence of steps that gradually build the finished drawing. Kids can follow the steps at their own pace and then add their own details, colors, and personality to each creature.

Drawing activities like these help kids practice observation, develop hand-eye coordination, and improve their ability to break complex pictures into manageable shapes. Most importantly, they help young artists discover that drawing can be both relaxing and rewarding.

Inside this book you will find:

• Step-by-step instructions for drawing mutant animal characters
• Fun cartoon creatures with unusual and imaginative features
• Simple drawing steps designed for kids and beginners
• A creative activity that encourages imagination and artistic confidence

Whether your child already loves drawing or is just starting out, How to Draw: Mutant Animals offers a playful way to explore creativity while learning the basics of cartoon drawing.

“The author really does a great job demonstrating how easy (and rewarding!) it can be to draw seemingly ordinary things you (and your little ones!) may feel too intimidated to try drawing without the step-by-step guide! Putting already-known shapes together and making something new and original is a fantastic way to learn! And recognizing that you can add your own twists and personality to your drawings makes all the difference. I think it’s a fun, original approach to building confidence for a lifelong hobby. I have the ebook copy, and can only imagine how great a physical copy would be!”

– Daenarah [Amazon Review]

“There are several of these fun books by this author. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with these. It’s a great activity to do as a family and see how they all turn out. Almost like a sip and paint but more of a juice box and draw.”

Allison B. [Amazon Review]

My kids can’t wait to start drawing these monsters in their illustrations! The many different moods of the monsters appeal to their different personalities. We love the many options, styles, and opportunities to expand upon the characters. Recommended for all ages!

– Kasey [Amazon Review]

“Kevin has put out many books on drawing and animation, and has such a great feel for HOW to explain the process. His art is so expressive and kid-friendly, but his real strength is in his ability to really explain and show how it’s done, making it accessible to kids and adults. I’m a firm believer that not everyone who “can do” can teach, but Kevin does both beautifully! Pick this up and watch kids have a blast making robots of all sorts, while learning great fundamental art skills at the same time!”

Tom R. [Amazon Review]

“My 5yo LOVES this book! The drawings are cute and the instructions are easy to follow along with. She gets a kick out of drawing muffin monsters and ketchup monsters and it actually keeps her pretty focused for long periods of time.”

– Monica [Amazon Review]

“This is a fantastic book for kids who love art, cartoons, comic books, or just having fun! There are a lot of characters to choose from, and really easy step-by-step instructions to follow. You child will have a blast drawing these fun, silly characters! And just in time for Easter baskets!”

Trace Then Color: Baby Robots is a creative activity book designed for young artists who love cute characters and need a screen-free way to stay engaged. This title is part of my Trace Then Color series, and it's packed with hand-drawn, kid-friendly robots—each with its own adorable personality. From giggling gadget-bots to sleepy circuit critters, every baby robot in this book is made to be fun and easy to trace.

This isn’t just a coloring book—it’s a gentle introduction to drawing. Each page offers a simple, bold-lined robot illustration for kids to trace directly over, helping them build pencil control, coordination, and early art confidence. Once they've finished tracing, kids can color in their creations however they like, turning each robot into something uniquely their own.

These designs are drawn by me (not AI-generated or clipart), and they’re specifically crafted to be beginner-friendly while still fun and expressive. If your child has ever wanted to draw a robot but didn’t know where to start, this book gives them a head start.


Inside You’ll Find:

  • 30+ original baby robot characters to trace and color

  • Single-sided pages to help prevent bleed-through

  • Thick outlines perfect for young artists still learning control

  • Big, bold designs for satisfying results every time

  • Ideal for ages 4–8, but fun for older kids and beginners too


Why Choose a Trace Then Color Book?

This series is a screen-free, pressure-free way to help kids fall in love with drawing. Tracing helps children develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while coloring encourages creativity, self-expression, and focus. Plus, it builds artistic confidence—when kids finish tracing and coloring their own robot, they feel proud of what they’ve created.

Perfect For:

  • Robot-obsessed kids

  • Rainy days and travel activities

  • Parents, teachers, and homeschoolers looking for creative enrichment

  • Gifting to kids who love to draw but need a little guidance


Trace Then Color: Baby Robots is also part of a larger art series that includes dozens of drawing activity books for kids, including How to Draw, Draw by Grid, and more titles under the Trace Then Color banner. Whether you're looking for robots, dinosaurs, monsters, animals, or food-themed characters, there's something in this series for every young artist.

If you're looking for a fun, hands-on activity book that helps your child feel successful while exploring their imagination, this is a great place to start.

Let your kids trace, color, and giggle their way through a crew of charming baby robots!

Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs – A Drawing Adventure with 50 Unique Characters to Trace and Color!

Enter a world of wires, tentacles, and galactic gadgets with Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs—a hands-on drawing book packed with 50 original cartoon hybrid characters, combining the strangest aliens and the coolest robots your imagination can handle.

Whether you're a kid who loves space creatures, a fan of futuristic machines, or just someone who likes weird, creative characters, this book gives you the perfect mix of sci-fi fun and art practice. Every page features a bold, unique alien cyborg character ready to be traced, colored, and brought to life with your creativity.

What Is a Trace Then Color Book?

If you’ve never tried one of our Trace Then Color books before, here’s how it works:

Each page gives you a full black-line drawing of a character, placed directly above a lighter, traceable version of the same design. Your job is to trace the character below, one line at a time, and then color it however you like.

This process helps develop pencil control, build confidence, and give kids (and adults!) the structure they need to complete cool-looking drawings—without starting from scratch.

What Makes This Book Special?

  • 50 Original Alien Cyborgs – No copy-paste designs here. Every page features a brand-new character designed by the artist. You’ll find mechanical bug-eyed explorers, laser-eyed creatures, jet-boosted jellyfish cyborgs, armored blob bots, and more. Each one has its own personality and weird robotic twist.
  • Easy to Use for All Ages – Designed primarily for kids ages 6–12, this book also works great for teens, adults, or anyone who enjoys quirky sci-fi artwork. Tracing is a gentle entry point for learning to draw, and even experienced artists can use it as a fun warm-up.
  • No Drawing Experience Needed – The Trace Then Color format is beginner-friendly. If your child (or you!) likes to draw but struggles with confidence or doesn’t know where to start, tracing is a fantastic way to practice lines, shapes, and proportions—without frustration.
  • Encourages Creativity and Focus – Tracing gets kids to slow down and observe the details in each drawing. Once they’ve traced the image, they can color it however they want—or even add their own details, backgrounds, or wild sci-fi upgrades.
  • Screen-Free, Skill-Building Fun – Looking for a quiet activity that doesn’t involve a screen? This book makes a great rainy-day project, road trip companion, or creative break from digital distractions.

Part of the Trace Then Color Series

This book is one title in the growing Trace Then Color series—designed by an independent artist to help kids build drawing confidence while having fun. All books in the series follow the same format: traceable characters on every page, bold cartoon designs, and loads of creative potential. Each title explores a different theme, from cute animals to weird monsters and more.

If your child likes drawing strange creatures, wild machines, or just enjoys creative activities, Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs is a fun and accessible way to explore the galaxy of imagination—one traceable robot alien at a time.

Grab your copy today and start tracing your way through a world of strange, silly, and spectacular sci-fi characters!

Grid drawing helps kids learn proportion, symmetry, and spatial awareness. By breaking down an image into smaller sections, they can focus on details without feeling overwhelmed, leading to more accurate and confident drawings.

2. Develops Hand-Eye Coordination and Fine Motor Skills

As kids copy lines and shapes from one section of the grid to another, they practice precise movements that strengthen their fine motor skills. This helps with handwriting, craft activities, and overall dexterity.

3. Encourages Patience and Focus

Completing a grid drawing requires kids to pay close attention to detail and take their time to ensure accuracy. This enhances concentration and problem-solving skills, both of which are valuable for academic success.

4. Boosts Creativity and Storytelling

The weird and wonderful creatures in this book inspire kids to create their own stories about the characters they draw. Who are these strange beings? Where do they come from? What adventures do they have? Encouraging storytelling alongside drawing helps develop a child’s imagination and communication skills.

5. A Screen-Free Activity for All Occasions

In today’s digital age, finding engaging screen-free activities can be a challenge. Grid drawing books provide a wonderful way to keep kids entertained without screens. They are perfect for:

  • Rainy day activities
