When I look out my window I often see fantails on a mango tree wagging its tail side to side and hopping from one place to another. I found it very fascinating and made a small animation to try to capture its flying pattern.

It occurred to me that making it into a flipbook could be fun!

Such simple flipbooks can also be made to highlight a peculier aspect of any process or activity, for example-

Nature - Blooming flower

Sports - Long jump

People - Tying a turban

Few simple steps

• Download a file from open source library

• Print it on a thick paper

• Cut the animation frames as instructed

• Paste the animation frames serially

• Flip to see animation

It will be a great way for kids to learn and get inspired! One can do it as a fun activity or give it to someone as a gift.
