What you'll learn

Get Started in Google Flow

What Flow is, how to find your way around, and how to generate your very first animated clip.

Create a Character You Can Reuse with Your Own Style

Make a character and keep it looking the same every time, so kids recognize it across your videos.

Write Animation Prompts That Work

Turn a character and an idea into clear prompts that create smooth, kid-appropriate motion.

Why this topic matters

Google Flow makes it possible to create animated video for kids with much smaller teams and resources. But whether you make slop or not depends on the quality of your prompts. This free starter session is for beginners. We'll make a character together and write animation prompts step by step, so your videos come out consistent, kid-friendly, and not slop.
