How to draw magically moving pictures in five minutes!
This is how I made the pictures move in my book, 'Grandma's Eyes.' This is a great way you can entertain kids and even adults. When they see the pictures move like magic, they are sure to be impressed. That is, if they had not seen it before.
The picture on the left shows me entertaining a big bunch of kids and their parents, teaching them this.
The videos are self-explanatory. You fold a sheet of paper in half.
Then you draw on the half at the bottom.
Now you draw on the top one, using the 'show-through' of the paper.
Now flip and flap, to see your drawing move!
I made a whole picture book using this; it was published this year.
The above clip shows you how I made a puppy wag its tail. The one below should give you more ideas: making pendulums swing, birds fly, and suns glow. If you have any new idea to add, send me your tips!

I did those, too, lol! All my textbooks had pin figures dancing in the margins! Thanks, and hope you share it with many childen!
I have to share it with my grandson now as my last child graduated, took a job, moved out and turned into a grown up this last summer. I am empty nesting. :(
I do have a beautiful 3 year old grandson and I shall test your idea on him. :D
Yes, please do so. And he will show it to his friends!
Great hub.
Our two grand daughters stayed with us for two days and creating off a torn sheet of paper was a magic success.
Thank you have a good time in 2008.
Thank you, Frank! Have a great time, too, with your lovely family in 2008.
Cool. We could let our kids in school try it out. "-) Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas
The kids will thank you, Michelle, like me: Thanks!
Merry Christmas!
Kenny! Just returned home! So this technique will have to wait for a couple of weeks till my little ladies and I are together again.
Thank you again for showing us such great HUBs
regards Zsuzsy
That is really amazing. And simple too!
While waiting, try it out yourself, Zsuzsy! We are also kids, you know!
I await the approval of your sidekicks!
Thank you for buzzing by, Busy Zsuzsy Bee!
Thank you Soulfood! Try it out and tell me!
Great stuff. I'm going to try it on my grandchildren, too. specially like the eyes - but the puppy's dead cute, too. Chennai? I've been there. Fabulous place. And I gather the Tsunami unveiled the site of some ancient temples? Is that true?
Hi Shahrukh! Thanks for liking my puppy!
Yes, the tsunami threw up an ancient site.
Also a small Buddha, from Thailand or Burma, possibly.
It's true, and was on the BBC, too.
Hi Eileen, I guess being speechless is also a compliment!
In time and with the help of Kenny we all will become great artists!
Hummmm... ok, maybe not, but at least we had fun! ;-)
Thanks for sharing this ideas with us Kenny.
I want all to be great artists,Funride, you are right! And have fun while you are at it!

Great idea - I love the way the guy's ear flaps as his eyes move!
Thanks for another great hub.
Thank you, Cgull, for alighting on my hub! I hope your niece and nephew are delighted!

how really nifty! I saw the title and at first I thought you meant 'flip books' like we used to make in our notebooks in school when we were supposed to be listening to the teacher.
this is very cool!
