kinetic art

Tried to interest the children in making some kinetic art pieces today - with mixed success. In my mock-up the ballerina's legs move when the card is jiggled. Am thinking that this could be good for birthday cards etc. They just didn't seem to appreciate that the pieces needed to be relatively chunky for it to work - oh well, I tried. Suppose they'd rather do lots and lots of writing instead!

Try animation or shadow puppets.
if you want it simple, shadow puppets are just the best, and you just need tape, split pins, sticks and card.

Hi Hazel - have done some animation with them earlier in the year. Think it's just 'cos it's very hot here at the moment and whatever I try to do might be a struggle!
