Animated movie

Spin the cylinder as fast as you can and look through the holes at the pictures inside. Suddenly the figures started moving! Now slow down the cylinder. Did the character in the picture also slow down his movements? Come up with an interesting story for this animation.

Nothing attracts children’s attention like a good fairy tale. The “Animated Film” device is a modern combination of science and entertainment – it not only allows you to watch a short animation, but also shows in a simple way “how it’s done”. This approach strongly stimulates children’s curiosity and encourages them to make their own attempts to create similar animations.    

How does it work? 

The device works in a simple way: set the cylinder in motion and look at the pictures through the holes. The fast moving drawings, which are slightly different from each other, give the impression of movement. This is how stop-motion animation works . 

By learning the principles of stop-motion animation, children can create their own storyboards during art and technology classes or while playing at home. Just attach them with a magnet to the inside of the cylinder and let children create their own animated films!  

Coming up with your own stories and then creating animations based on them is a way to create engaging and innovative  activities in kindergarten or school .

WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM AN ANIMATED FILM? 

• The animating device will certainly interest children and at the same time will explain in a simple way the old principles of creating animated films .  
• The device supports creativity , engages and inspires you to create your own animations, which can also be done at home. 

• Knowledge acquired through independent observation  is more durable than that acquired by listening to a lecture.
• Animations can stimulate a child’s imagination and help develop their creativity, and can also influence cognitive abilities and help develop logical thinking and encourage them to ask questions and look for answers.    
• Educational animations  can be an effective way to introduce children to various fields of science, such as biology, physics or astronomy.
• Classes based on creating stop-motion animations can be used in various therapies. Animations can help children express their emotions and understand other people’s emotions.
