Let's decorate the secret hideout
This secret hideout is built from a big box. Draw what the hideout needs — a window, binoculars, a coded sign — and decide on a password to get in.
You can start drawing right away in the app above. No sign-up needed, and drawings are saved only on this device.
Questions to ask your child
- What’s the password to the hideout?
- What’s inside the base?
- Who’s allowed in?
Adjust for your child’s age
- Around age 4
- Draw one window and one flag on the box and it becomes a hideout.
- Ages 6–7
- Draw a separate cutaway view inside the base, and decide what each room is for.
After drawing: try this
Build a real hideout from a big box, decorate it, and play saying a password before going inside.
Try it together
- Use the lines of the sketch as a starting point and let your child decide the shapes, colors and how many. The key is not to draw it for them.
- Draw shapes with the pencil and color them with 🪣 Fill — even the youngest children can finish this way. Mistakes disappear with ↶ Undo.
- When it’s done, ask “What did you draw?” and listen to the explanation. Tap 💾 Save to keep it as a PNG.
