In the last few years, kids’ rhyme channels like Cocomelon, Nilaa Tota and Lanu TV have exploded in popularity, attracting millions of young viewers and turning simple nursery songs into full‑fledged media brands.
The good news is: you no longer need a studio, a team of animators or even to show your face on camera to join this space.
With today’s AI tools, you can build a faceless kids channel that is low‑cost, highly scalable and almost entirely automated—from writing rhymes to generating music and animation.
In this guide, you’ll learn a complete AI‑powered workflow to create nursery rhyme videos step by step: starting from;
- the idea and title
- moving through lyrics and song creation
- generating animated visuals
- designing thumbnails and
- finally doing SEO (titles, descriptions, tags) for YouTube.
The focus is especially on the Indian and Pakistani kids audience, using Hindi/Urdu or Hinglish rhymes and culturally familiar themes so your content feels local, relatable and engaging for children in this region.
Tools You Need for AI Kids Videos

- Example: Vis (or alternatives like Kaiber, Pika, Runway, etc.).
- Used for:
- Generating 3D cartoon characters
- Creating scene images
- Animating those images into short clips
Video Editing Software

Step 1 – Study Successful Kids Channels & Choose Your Theme
- Analyze channels like:
- Cocomelon
- Nilaa Tota
- Lanu TV
- Twinkle Little Songs
- Note:
- Video length (2–4 minutes, lots of repetition).
- Simple stories (colors, numbers, fruits, animals, vehicles).
- Bright colors, big faces, clear emotions.
- Choose a simple, kid‑friendly topic:
- Fruits (Apple, Banana, Grapes)
- Animals (Elephant, Rabbit, Lion)
- Vehicles (Bus, Train, Car)
- Daily routines (Bath time, Bedtime, Brush your teeth)
Step 2 – Use AI to Generate Catchy Nursery Rhyme Titles
- Create or reuse a “Title Prompt” for ChatGPT:
- Ask for multiple fun, rhythmic titles for kids.
- Specify language (Hindi/Urdu, Hinglish) and style.
- Paste your prompt into ChatGPT and collect 10–20 title ideas.
- Choose one main title, e.g.:
- “Fruit Dance Party – Apple Banana Grapes Ki Masti Rhyme Song”
Step 3 – Write the Full Nursery Rhyme Lyrics with AI
- Use a prepared “Script / Rhyme Prompt” with these elements:
- Target age (e.g., 3–6 years).
- Language & tone (simple Hindi/Urdu, rhyming, repetitive).
- The chosen title and main characters (e.g., fruits).
- Paste the prompt + title into ChatGPT.
- Get a full rhyme with:
- Short, rhythmic lines (“Haan ji bachon chalo aa jao…”).
- Simple vocabulary and repetitions.
- Clear structure: intro, fun middle, ending.
Step 4 – Turn Your Lyrics into a Kids Song Using AI Music
- Copy the entire lyric text.
- Go to Sono AI / Morika (or equivalent):
- Paste the lyrics into the song text box.
- Choose a child / kids song style.
- Set the song title.
- Generate the song.
- Listen, and if satisfied, download the MP3.
- (Optional) Tweak lyrics or style and regenerate if needed.
Step 5 – Generate Characters & Scene Prompts with ChatGPT
- Use your “Image & Video Prompt” with ChatGPT.
- Instead of the title, now provide the full rhyme lyrics.
- Ask ChatGPT to output:
- A character list with descriptions
- Example: Apple (red, round, smiling, big eyes), Banana (yellow, curved, laughing), Grapes (purple bunch, cute).
- For each line or group of lines:
- An image prompt (what should be visible in the frame).
- A video prompt (how the scene should move/animate).
- A character list with descriptions
Step 6 – Create 3D Cartoon Characters with an AI Image Tool
- Open Vis (or your chosen tool) and go to the “Subject” or “Character” section.
- For each character (Apple / Banana / Grapes):
- Paste the character description from ChatGPT.
- Select style: 3D kids animation, bright, cute, soft lighting.
- Generate the character image.
- Refine until:
- Characters look consistent, friendly, and kid‑safe.
- You have all main characters ready.
Step 7 – Generate Scene Images and Animate Them
Create Still Images for Each Scene
- For the first scene, copy the corresponding image prompt from ChatGPT.
- In Vis:
- Paste the prompt.
- Select your previously created characters so the style is consistent.
- Set aspect ratio to 16:9 (1920×1080).
- Choose Kids animation style.
- Generate several variations.
- Pick the best image and discard the rest.
- Repeat this for every key line/section of the rhyme.
Animate the Images into Video Clips
- For each selected image:
- Copy the matching video/animation prompt from ChatGPT.
- Use the Animate feature in Vis.
- Paste the video prompt and generate a short animated clip (a few seconds each).
- Download all clips and store them in order (Scene 1, Scene 2, …).
Step 8 – Edit Everything into a Complete Rhyme Video
- Open Filmora (or your preferred editor).
- Import:
- The AI song MP3.
- All animated clips.
- Place the audio on the timeline.
- Using your lyrics as a guide:
- Arrange clips line‑by‑line, matching each scene to the specific line (e.g., “Haan ji bachon chalo aa jao” → first clip).
- Trim or extend clips to sync with the music.
- Add simple transitions if you like.
- Preview the full video.
- Export in Full HD (1080p) with high audio quality.
Step 9 – Design Eye‑Catching Thumbnails with AI
- Use your prepared “Thumbnail Prompt” in ChatGPT:
- Ask for 4–5 thumbnail concepts (bright colors, big characters, bold text, clear emotions).
- Copy the best thumbnail prompts into Vis:
- Generate several thumbnail images.
- Ensure it’s 16:9 and readable even at small sizes.
- Choose the best thumbnail and download it.
- (Optional) Enhance it in Canva/Photoshop (add logo, extra text).
Step 10 – Generate SEO Title, Description, and Tags with AI
- Use your “SEO Prompt” in ChatGPT and provide:
- Your final chosen title and the video topic.
- Ask for:
- 2–3 SEO‑friendly title variations.
- A YouTube description with:
- Summary of the rhyme
- Relevant keywords
- Hashtags (#nurseryrhymes, #hindirhymes, #kidsongs, etc.)
- A list of tags/keywords for YouTube’s tags field.
- Copy the title, description, and tags into the YouTube upload form.
Tips for Targeting Indian & Pakistani Kids
- Use Hindi / Urdu / Hinglish in titles and lyrics.
- Include local elements:
- Fruits, animals, festivals (where appropriate), cultural references (but always child‑safe).
- Keep language very simple and repetitive.
- Use bright colors, clear expressions, and slow, catchy melodies.
- Maintain consistency in character design across episodes to build familiarity.
Conclusion & Next Steps
- Recap the full AI pipeline:
- Idea → Title → Lyrics → Song → Characters → Scenes → Animation → Editing → Thumbnail → SEO.
- Encourage readers to:
- Start with one simple rhyme video.
- Improve quality over time (better prompts, more polished editing).
- Suggest future expansions:
- Series with the same characters.
- Educational themes (numbers, colors, alphabets).
- Multi‑language versions for broader reach.
