How to Make Kids' Cartoon Videos, Step by Step
How to make kids' cartoon videos in Korpi: gentle 3D bedtime stories and toddler lessons with recurring characters, from a script type to a finished episode.
Published
Quick answer
Pick the creator that fits your channel. Bedtime Stories makes calm 3D stories that end with everyone asleep. Toddler Lessons makes longer 16:9 episodes that teach one habit, such as sharing. In either one, click Generate w/ AI on the Script tab, pick a Script Type and a duration, generate the script, then generate the characters and scenes on the Scenes tab and render.
What a kids' cartoon video looks like
Both creators use a soft, glossy 3D cartoon look and recurring characters, so a channel feels like one show.
- Bedtime Stories. Warm night-time scenes: toys that wake up in the moonlight, sleepy forest animals, a dreamlike journey. Characters speak in a whisper-warm voice and every story ends with everyone tucked in.
- Toddler Lessons. A bright playroom world with a recurring cast (Pipo, Lulu, Kofi, Mommy and Daddy). Toddlers speak in short lines of a few words, and each episode teaches one habit. Episodes are 16:9 and run longer, 3 minutes by default.
See /best-ai/kids-cartoons for the example videos.
Step 1: Open the creator
Open Bedtime Stories or Toddler Lessons. Both have Script, Scenes and Audio tabs, a One-off / Series switch and a Narration Script box.
Step 2: Pick a script type and duration
Click Generate w/ AI.
Bedtime Stories has three script types:
- Magic Toys (the default): the moonbeam wakes the toys for one gentle magical night.
- Sleepy Animals: a glowing guide leads a goodnight round through the forest.
- Goodnight Journey: a sleepy cloud-train, paper boat or balloon carries a child into dreamland.
Toddler Lessons has Learn To Share (the default), Healthy Habits, Safety Habits and Big Feelings.
Both offer durations from 30s to 15m. Bedtime Stories defaults to 45s and Toddler Lessons to 3m. Then choose a source: Idea List (click Generate Ideas), Custom Setup (a Setup / Situation plus a Story Hook or Lesson Hook, for example "The Sleeping Child" and "Teddy's Secret Cocoa Café") or Remix Video. Generate the script and edit any line in the Narration Script box.
Step 3: Generate the characters and scenes
On the Scenes tab, click Generate Scenes and Characters. Korpi finds the recurring characters and settings and shows them under Review your elements. Approve or regenerate them, then click Continue to scene images. The same teddy or the same toddler then appears in every scene.
Regenerate any scene you do not like, then animate with Animate All, or use Generate All and Animate to do everything in one pass.
Step 4: Music and render
On the Audio tab, Bedtime Stories starts with a soft music bed at a low volume; Toddler Lessons starts with no music. Change it or upload your own. Click Generate video.
Step 5: Make longer lessons in 16:9
For long-form YouTube episodes, use Toddler Lessons. It is built for 16:9 and runs many short scenes, more for longer episodes, so a full lesson can play out.

What makes a kids' cartoon work
- One gentle idea. One toy's adventure, one habit, one feeling.
- The same friends every time. Recurring characters are why kids come back.
- Calm endings. Bedtime stories should slow down and land on sleep.
- Short lines. Toddler lines work best at two to eight words.
