Zoetrope strips and spinning two-sided cards that make a potato jump or put a bird in a cage when spun. Preview on screen, then print.
Zoetrope: the Jumping Potato
Print the strip, cut it out and tape it inside a paper cup or a circle of card with slits cut above each frame. Spin and peek through the slits!
Spinning Card (Thaumatrope)
Print, cut out both circles, glue them back to back with a pencil or straw between them, then roll it fast between your hands.
