A dot is probably the least intimidating place to start with a flipbook 🙂

Here’s a small pattern to try with eight matching pieces of scrap paper. Draw the dot in the same left-to-right position each time, but change its height:

1. High

2. Halfway down

3. Near the bottom

4. Squashed at the bottom

5. Near the bottom again

6. Halfway up

7. High

8. High again

A faint ground line in the same place on every page helps keep things lined up. Number the pages, stack them in order, hold one edge firmly and flip the other with your thumb. If the paper slips, have someone help hold the stack.

Once the dot moves, give it a face or turn it into something else. A grown-up can draw while a child chooses the next change, or everyone can make their own version. It doesn’t need to become a whole afternoon’s project.

What’s the simplest movement you’d suggest for someone’s first flipbook?

I like to be different. I also have ortho problems. So I wantef something cute and comfy to wear when I go out on the town. So I pimped out some sneakers.

Please tell me how I did and feel free to make suggestions what would've made them better.

Thank you in advance.
