Four lines are drawn one at a time in their own rows: a big brush makes a thick line, a sharp pencil makes a thin one, and crayons draw a wavy line and a zigzag line, shown beside a wiggly snake and a lightning bolt. The video then compares thick with thin and a round wavy bend with a sharp zigzag point, and ends by naming all four kinds of lines.
