Description

Publisher's Description of Elenco Smartivity Retroscope

Introduce young minds to the art of making movies!

Long before film cameras and digital film making were invented, movies were made using moving slides. One of the first movie-making machines, the Retroscope, uses Persistence of Vision to create an illusion of moving images. This exciting do-it-yourself kit introduces the fundamentals of storytelling and movie-making by encouraging kids to build a fully-functional, gear-driven movie-making machine from scratch. After assembly, rotate the handle and watch the slides play as an animated movie.

Kit includes two sets of pre-made cartoon slide panels: color and black-andwhite set. Children can also design their own slides and bring their imagination to animated life!

Decorate with your own paints and markers and make it unique!

Skills Developed: Analytical Skills, Creativity, Motor Skills, Practical Skills
