How to Make A Flipbook

Flipbooks are really cool. First I'll show you how to make one, then I'll explain how to use it. What You Need: 1 pack of post-itz( size matters on how long you want to make your flipbook, I'd start with small.) A Pencil Creativity 1. So, you have the post-itz, I would start with something easy. On the first page, draw a bouncy ball at the lower left corner. 2. Then you flip to the next page and draw another bouncy ball, the same size as the previous one, except a little higher and more to the right. 3. Then, flip to the next page and repeat except, higher and more to the right, again. 4. Keep repeating this, but when the bouncy ball reaches half the page, bring it down, and make it go up a again. 5. When it comes to the end of the page, stop. 6. The test! Now take the flipbook, flip the pages really fast, and you should see a bouncy ball fly across the page! Now you have made a flipbook. If you really enjoyed this, you can try to make more complicated flipbooks, like a person waving, a bunny hopping, a bird flying, or more! Did you know that flipbooks are pretty much a cartoon. Film makers sometimes create multiple slides, and when they play it back, the final product is a cartoon!
