Kids’ drawing songs. Everyone’s favorite play songs (1–10)
Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty has been extremely popular among women ever since the first character was created in 1974.
Sanrio, which used to sell Snoopy merchandise, launched her as their own character.
In the old illustrations, her face was front-facing while her body was turned to the side, but nowadays the standard style has her facing forward.
Despite being a character, she has been appointed as a UNICEF Junior Ambassador and as a tourism goodwill ambassador for places like China and Hong Kong.
It’s nice to have a simple drawing song that makes it easy to draw Kitty, isn’t it?
Shaun the Sheep
Shaun the Sheep is a short animated series made in the UK, but it’s hugely popular with children in Japan as well.
Originally, Shaun was a character in another animation called Wallace and Gromit, and this series makes him the protagonist to depict the world from a different perspective.
Because of that, there’s very little dialogue, making it enjoyable for people in any country.
There are drawing songs not only for the main character, Shaun, but also for other characters, so once you learn the drawing songs, you’ll be able to draw all the main characters.
carp streamer
In the past, families often flew carp streamers at home, but these days—perhaps due to housing conditions or simply changing trends—you don’t see them as much.
If we could enjoy this important Japanese tradition even through a drawing song, wouldn’t that be wonderful? The carp streamer here is simple enough for small children to draw, so it seems like there are lots of ways to enjoy it: drawing together with parents or friends, coloring the carp after you draw it, and more.
It would also be fun to attach the finished carp streamer to a pair of disposable chopsticks and display it.

Shimajirō
Shimajiro is the main character of “Kodomo Challenge,” an early childhood education program created by Benesse Corporation.
For some children, Shimajiro may even be the very first stuffed toy they meet.
If parents can draw Shimajiro for their child, it’s sure to make them happy.
There’s also an added benefit for children: by singing drawing songs, they can learn the names of various things.
Please enjoy it together as a parent and child.
Eevee
Originally developed as a Nintendo video game, Pokémon (Pocket Monsters) features many beloved Pokémon, including Eevee, known for its adorable appearance.
Eevee is a Pokémon that can alter its form depending on its environment, and no matter how it changes, it remains very cute—its fluffy chest fur might be its charm point.
Here is a drawing song that lets even children easily draw Eevee.
It’s shared by the official account, so try drawing a cute Eevee yourself!
Olaf
Frozen became a huge craze that swept up not only children but adults as well.
A sequel was released, and it became a massive hit worldwide.
Among the most popular characters is Olaf.
He’s an adorable snowman filled with Anna and Elsa’s memories, and he’s loved by both boys and girls.
This Olaf drawing song makes it easy to draw him cutely! For most of it, you go very slowly, carefully drawing the parts of the face.
At the end, the tempo picks up just a little, but it’s still easy, so don’t worry.
Kyoro-chan
Kyoro-chan is the beloved character of Morinaga’s long-running Choco Ball candy.
From 1999 to 2001, an anime featuring Kyoro-chan aired, and “Kyoro-chan no Ekaki Uta” was its ending theme.
Sung by the voice actor who plays Kyoro-chan, it’s a relaxed, easygoing, and charming drawing song.
The first verse teaches you to draw Kyoro-chan, while the second and third verses are drawing songs for Mikken and Shibashiba, characters who appear in the anime.
Though it’s a drawing song, it’s so cute you’ll find yourself humming along.
