Do you remember the spider made with an egg carton? For the introduction to that video, I made the spider run around a pumpkin.

You could introduce children to the “stop-motion” technique to make interesting animation projects. For children, this may be an exciting way to learn. Try using their favorite stuffed animal or Lego characters!
