Flipbooks are such fun! They’re like your own personal movie or slideshow. They’re also a great way to have fun and learn how animation works, too! They can be funny, they can be thoughtful, and they can be amazing. There are several ways to make your own flipbook, and many different things you can do with them.
This is also great method to kids-participants express their message using simple animation and implement it in real space.
