# 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. Canonical page: https://korpi.ai/blog/how-to-make-kids-cartoon-videos Published: October 20, 2026 · 7 min read · Korpi AI Team ## Quick answer Pick the creator that fits your channel. [Bedtime Stories](/create/bedtime-stories) makes calm 3D stories that end with everyone asleep. [Toddler Lessons](/create/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](/best-ai/kids-cartoons) for the example videos. --- ## Step 1: Open the creator Open [Bedtime Stories](/create/bedtime-stories) or [Toddler Lessons](/create/toddler-lessons). Both have **Script**, **Scenes** and **Audio** tabs, a **One-off** / **Series** switch and a **Narration Script** box. ![Korpi Bedtime Stories Script tab with the One-off and Series switch and the Narration Script box](https://korpi.ai/blog/kids-cartoons/step-1-pick-format.webp "Step 1: Open Bedtime Stories on the Script tab") ## 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**. ![Generate Bedtime Stories Script dialog with the Magic Toys, Sleepy Animals and Goodnight Journey script types](https://korpi.ai/blog/kids-cartoons/step-2-script-type.webp "Step 2: Pick a bedtime script type") 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. ![A soft 3D teddy bear in an apron standing in a moonlit bedroom with toys, from the Bedtime Stories example](https://korpi.ai/blog/kids-cartoons/step-3-scenes.webp "Step 3: A generated scene from the Bedtime Stories example") 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**. ![Plush toys tucked into a toy box in a dark bedroom at the end of the Bedtime Stories example](https://korpi.ai/blog/kids-cartoons/step-4-final-video.webp "Step 4: The bedtime story ends with everyone asleep") ## 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. ![A toddler handing a red cup to a smiling dad on a colourful playroom mat, from the Toddler Lessons example](https://korpi.ai/blog/kids-cartoons/step-5-widescreen-episode.webp "Step 5: Toddler Lessons makes longer 16:9 episodes") --- ## Plan it for free first (optional) If you work inside Claude or ChatGPT, connect [Korpi MCP](/mcp).
