Summer of Science: The Magic of Flipbooks

Who doesn’t love making a flipbook?  Apparently my kids, after a few failed attempts I’m completely cheating and just sharing a couple of links for making a flipbook while also offering an alternative that’s easier for the little ones to figure out.

Here’s Two Great Flipbook Links 

• Activity On the Move
• WonderHowTo

Here’s My Alternative

When we made cameras we were looking at how to create ONE image, with a flipbook we’re drawing multiple images, ‘flipping through them quickly giving the appearance of animating our drawings.  In essence we’re making movies –this was what my kids got, but instead of drawing they just wanted to take pictures and flip through them on the screen real fast.  We had many more images in our final ‘movie’ but hopefully these will give you an idea of what we did.
