Catherine Romano blogs about crafty projects for kids and parents
September in Toronto means more than back-to-school, it is also time for TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). Even though TIFF films are not entirely kid-friendly, I still found a way to let my love of film inspire a new (and very simple) Make It! project.
Check it out, we made a flip book.
Flip books contain a series of images that gradually change on each successive page. When the pages are ‘flipped’ rapidly, the image appears to be moving. Making a flip book is quite simple and only requires a pen and few sheets of paper.
Process:
1. Decide on the image you want to draw (I choose to animate a mad face to a happy face, and a static doll to a dancing doll)
2. Starting from the last page in your note pad or post-it note, draw the first image.
