Introduction: Since 2019 the world faces the COVID-19 disease, which, due to its transmissibility and damage to the human body, became the pandemic of 2020. The socioeconomic effects are registered in most of the planet. From the individual point of view, it also affects psychologically, especially the elderly and children.
Objective: to design a cartoon aimed to the child population for the prevention of COVID-19 disease.
Method: a qualitative, participatory, art-based research was carried out in online mode, using the WhatsApp Messenger application. Based on the Knowledge Translation Model of Straus, Tetroe and Graham. 21 infants (9 girls and 12 boys) between the ages of 6 to 14 years participated. The work sessions were held in their homes with the collaboration of their families.
Results: Cartoon titled "Learning about the virus that paralyzed the world" which, based on the drawings made by the participants, was structured into three components: children's curiosity, knowledge transmitted by the basic health team and basic messages for the prevention of COVID- 19.
Conclusions: the use of social networks, with the participation of infants and families for the construction of knowledge in special circumstances of pandemic such as social isolation, were essential for the development of an educational technology based on artistic expressions that also allowed the transfer of information to a vulnerable population, such as children.
