What Is Art For Kids Hub and What Does It Offer?

Updated

Art For Kids Hub is a family-run art site that has offered free, step-by-step drawing lessons for kids since 2012. You can use it in three ways: the free YouTube channel, the free ad-supported website at artforkidshub.com, or the paid membership at artforkidshub.tv. It suits parents, teachers, and kids who want to draw along with a friendly instructor rather than follow a formal art curriculum.

Who runs it and what the lessons are like

The site describes itself as a real family that loves making art together. Rob leads each lesson, and many lessons also feature Teryn or the kids drawing along, so children always have a face to follow. The stated teaching approach puts fun over perfection and aims to build creative confidence and fine motor skills.

The site reports 10M+ YouTube subscribers, 3,000+ drawing lessons, a 4.5★ App Store rating, and viewers in 220+ countries.

The three ways to use it

Option Where Cost model Best for
YouTube channel youtube.com/artforkidshub Free with ads Following new lessons weekly; the largest free library
Website artforkidshub.com Free with ads Searching for a specific lesson and browsing by category or theme without YouTube distractions
Membership artforkidshub.tv Paid membership Ad-free viewing, member-only lessons, offline downloads, and apps for TV, phone, and tablet

All three follow the same lessons, so the drawing experience is consistent whichever you pick. The site does not publish membership pricing on the page reviewed here, so check artforkidshub.tv directly for current cost and terms.

How to start drawing

  1. Pick a lesson. On the website, use the search bar to find a subject (for example, a specific animal or character), or browse curated playlists and themes.
  2. Gather basic supplies. Lessons are drawing tutorials; a pencil and paper are enough to follow along.
  3. Draw alongside the video. Pause whenever your child needs more time — the step-by-step format is built for following at your own pace.
  4. Check the result. Compare your drawing to the finished example on screen; the goal is a recognizable, self-made picture, not an exact copy.

New lessons are uploaded every week, so there is always a fresh option.

Choosing between free and membership

  • Stay free if you mainly draw occasionally, don't mind ads, and are happy watching on YouTube or the website.
  • Consider the membership if ads interrupt your kids, you want offline downloads for travel or spotty Wi-Fi, you'd like to watch on a TV, or you teach a classroom and want a focused, ad-free space.

Common questions

Is it really free? Yes — the YouTube channel and the website are both free and ad-supported. The membership is a separate paid option.

What ages is it for? The lessons are designed for kids, with an encouraging style meant to make every young artist feel capable. Adults drawing alongside usually find it easy to follow too.

Do I need special materials? No. The lessons are drawing tutorials that work with everyday paper and pencils.
