Every kid can draw. SketchCat shows them how.

SketchCat draws one shape at a time on screen. Your kid copies it on real paper, then shows SketchCat for kind, honest feedback.

If they can imagine it, SketchCat can teach it

Kids type or say what they want to draw, and SketchCat makes a brand-new lesson in about a minute. Stuck for ideas? SketchCat plays a quick “what do you like?” game.

Kind, honest feedback on the real drawing

Kids hold their paper up to the camera. SketchCat gives one of three verdicts and one tip for next time. It never says “wrong”, and parents can switch to cheers only.

  • You did it!
    Great job on the whiskers.
  • Almost there!
    Try bigger ears next time.
  • Let's look together
    We can try that bit again.

Draw, then colour

After the drawing, SketchCat teaches colouring step by step.

Stickers and drawing days

A sticker for every finished drawing, a sticker book and a gallery. Drawing days add up and never reset.

Printable step sheets

Print any lesson for the fridge, or for drawing away from the screen.
For parents

Made for kids. Controlled by you.

Here's exactly what we do with your family's information.

  • Accounts are for parents
    Kids never need an email. A parent confirms their email first.
  • Voice requests are not stored
    What kids say is turned into text, then the recording is gone.
  • Check-in photos are not stored
    Photos are sent to our AI for feedback and never kept, unless your kid saves the drawing to their gallery.
  • No names in shared drawings
    Drawings shared between families never include a child's name or words.
  • You're in control
    Set a daily time limit, turn the camera or read-aloud off, choose cheers only, and delete a kid's data or the whole account anytime.
