The children have been organizing services and goods to be given to our local homeless citizens. After a recent project where we made flip books, some of the kids wanted to include these fun, interactive books in their packages "because they do not have TV and this could entertain them." This was a proud moments for all of their teachers, to say the least.
Flip books:
-Cut several pieces of card stock into the same size, preferably a rectangular shape.( maybe 2x3 or 3x5)
-Cut several pieces of card stock into the same size, preferably a rectangular shape.( maybe 2x3 or 3x5)
-Explain how animation works, that having one element of the picture change slightly in each consecutive image can make things look like they are moving. We tried to keep ours simple. If drawing a person, only move the arms. Or start with a small image that gets bigger and bigger.
-Try and keep the drawing to the right side of the cardstock.
-Once you have 10 or more pages, staple them on the left, making sure that the flipping side, the right, are all flush with each other .
-And FLIP!
