You write the idea. Claude writes the script. The studio draws.
Claude never draws pictures here. It only writes a small story file, so your 20 € plan lasts a long time.
What you need
Claude Pro (20 € a month), a phone or computer, and the free app CapCut for your voice.
Make one story in 8 steps
Get Claude Pro
Go to claude.ai or the Claude app and choose Pro (20 € a month). A computer is easier, a phone works too.
Make a project, only once
In Claude: Projects, then Create project. Name it “Kids Stories”. Open “Instructions” and paste this text:
Loading…
Why: Claude learns the rules once. Every story chat stays short, so it uses few tokens.
Start a new story
Inside the project, start a new chat and send this. Change the child, the task and the place:
New story. Child: Mia, 4 years old, girl, pigtails. Task: water a plant. Helper: Mom. Place: garden. Language: English.
Claude answers with one code block. Copy it with the copy button on the code block.
Paste it into the studio
Open the Studio tab, paste, press Play. If you see a red message, send it to Claude: “The studio says this, please fix it.”
Change what you don't like, in one message
For example: “Scene 4: Mia laughs. Scene 6: the mom claps.” Two or three changes per story are enough.
Many small messages cost more than one message with all changes.
Record the voices
Use your own voice, or ask family members, one for each character. Play the story with text on, read along, and record in CapCut (Audio, Record). Children love real voices.
Save the video and put it together
Studio: switch the text off if you don't want it, then press Save video. Steps, water and the other sounds are already in it. Or use the screen recording of your phone. In CapCut: add the video, your voice and sounds (free sounds: bigsoundbank.com). Export 1080p.
Check it, then share
Watch it once on your phone. Then go through “Good stories”.
Save your 20 € plan
One chat per story. Never paste the instructions again, the project has them. Don't ask Claude to draw or write code. If Claude says you reached the limit, wait a few hours, the plan resets about every 5 hours.
Your story file
Paste the code block from Claude here. It is saved in this browser.
What makes a good story
We learned these while making our own cartoons. The instructions for Claude already follow them.
The child does it
Adults give one tip, never the answer and never do it for the child.
One task, one story
Under 75 seconds. Small children stop watching after that.
First try goes wrong, funny
Then the child tries again and makes it. Trying again is normal.
Friendly faces
The studio has no angry face, on purpose. Sad is fine, but short.
Calm pictures
One thing moves at a time. Watch it once without sound: is it still clear?
Show the success up close
Use the close camera for the moment the child makes it.
Real voices, real sounds
No robot voice, no swoosh sounds. A real cup, a real splash.
End with a question
“Can you water a plant today?” The child watching becomes the hero.
Check on a phone
Most parents watch on a phone. Text must be big, voices clear.
Questions?
Write to Koren on WhatsApp, in the chat where you got this link. Claude reads it and answers you there.
If something in the studio does not work, send a screenshot and say which phone or computer you use.
