Finished? Draw the scene next
- Add a background: draw a pet show with a judge holding a ribbon.
- Write one line under your picture to finish this story:
The judge had never seen anything like it…
That’s a picture book page. Draw two more and you have a whole story.
Draw it, then write about it
Give your unicorn jellyfish a name and a job. What makes it happy, and what makes it grumpy? Write two or three sentences.
Print a draw-and-write sheet: a box for the drawing and lines for the story. Primary lines (K–2) · Regular lines (grades 2–5)
Want to make it a whole story? Try the comic story starter or fold a mini-book in Story Studio.
Common mistakes and quick fixes
- It’s hard to tell which two animals it is.
- Keep the most famous part of each animal clear: the horn, the trunk, the stripes or the tail.
- The two halves don’t join.
- Draw one smooth body line where the animals meet, then add details on each side.
- Too many details at once.
- Draw the big shapes first. Spots, stripes and scales come last.
- Tracing too fast and slipping off the line.
- Slow down on curves and corners. Try putting a finger from the other hand next to the line as a guide.

Talk about it
For the grown-up: ask one or two of these while your child draws. There are no wrong answers.
- Which two animals is this made of? Which parts came from each?
- What would you mix together to invent a new animal?
- What shapes can you find in your drawing?
- What would you change if you drew it again tomorrow?

What size does it print?
