FLIPBOOK KIT - DINOSAURS

I had a total of 8 children to keep occupied (ages ranging from 3 to 11) and these flip book were the highlight of the afternoon. I bought 2 kits which gave me a total of 4 pre-printed books and 4 blank ones. One kit contains 2 pre-printed books (one butterfly and one metamorphosis) and 2 blank books. The pre-printed ones required basic coloring (for most of the duration of the activity) and some sequencing (arranging pictures in order) towards the end. I gave those to the younger kids. The older kids (with greater comprehension skills and better frustration tolerance) got the blank ones. This worked out beautifully and truly helped even out the "achievement gap" across the age groups. In the end, the little ones had something they had put together which impressed all of us when flipped and the older kids had fun thinking through what they were trying to make --and then making it. My 11-year old niece put together "Evolution of Dot" (a dot who becomes a kid playing with a ball who then becomes the ball who then becomes another kid playing on the playground or some such) which actually ended up looking so good she saved it for her next Show and Tell presentation. Doing the pre-printed part of the activity is effortless and impossible to mess up: even with scribbles and unsteady coloring, it still looks polished, and smart --and will elicit a very genuine "Wow!" from anybody when flipping through for the first time around. Drawing the blank books, on the other hand, is challenging because it demands more sophisticated applications of the child's executive skills: this exercise requires the child to stop, think, plan, draw and --when necessary-- re-evaluate and correct mistakes. Since this mostly calls for self-evaluation, it really is up to the individual child how great their "movie" turns out to be. Even on this level, the activity is difficult to botch completely since the very act of flipping through the book guarantees an unexpected illusion of "drawings in motion" while not focusing "the reader's" eye on any one drawing for too long.

Super fun kit for any kid who is a flipbook fan, artist, comic lover, photographer, etc.

My 6 and 10 yr old sat right down by themselves and loved creating their own flip book! A great gift for kids. Very creative and fun!

Daughter is really into flip books so I got her this for her birthday and she loves it! Super simple to use, easy instructions and great way to learn to make your own and get comfortable with the process of it. Now she’s already creating her own without templates and they’re actually so good!

When I first received the kit, one of the pages was missing. I contacted the company and they immediately shipped out, not only the replacement page but, a whole new kit and few other goodies. Great quality products and great customer support. Thank you!

The flip books are cute, but the four markers arrived completely dried up. I wasn’t going to even mention it as we have plenty of other markers to use, but an order of a different item from this company also arrived broken and missing pieces. Please be sure to check your items thoroughly.

Great product and fast shipping

It's literally perforated yardstick, 4 markers, and a couple of binder clips. Made a great gift due to packaging, but totally something you could diy
