How to Make a Child's Flip Book
Making a child's flip book is a fun project for parents or teachers to guide their children through. These small books are a way of creating basic animation through a series of simple drawings. This activity takes a little time and patience, but the final result of seeing a drawing come to life will delight any young artist.
Things You'll Need
- Pad of paper
- Art supplies (pencils, pens, markers, crayons)
Instructions
Decide on what you want to draw and the type of motion you want to achieve. For instance, you might want to try drawing a ball that will appear to bounce across the page. Draw your picture on the last page of a small pad of paper. Your pad should have around 8 to 10 pages of blank paper for a simple flip book. Move to the next to the last page and draw the same image you drew on the last page but with some small change. For instance, if you drew a ball at the top left hand corner of the last page, draw the ball a little lower and more to the right. Continue changing the image slightly from one page to the next. Hold all the pages in your hand and flip them as you watch your images change from the last page back to the first. Make any adjustments or changes if needed. You also might want to add more detail to your pictures, such as color and background images. Previous:How to Find a Person in Trinidad
