How to make a Zoetrope

A popular scientific toy in Victorian times Zoetropes (Greek: 'wheel of life) show an animated series of images when spun.
I've made these in primary schools with children as young as Yr3.
I encourage older children to try their own simple designs by dropping in a loop of paper with their drawings on. A good simple starting point is to draw an animation of a bouncing ball.

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm doing a project on the topic "animation" and I wanted to include a few devices such as the zeotrope, flipbooks, and etc on display.

This is amazing. I was going to buy one of these but if I could just make it even better. I have a bit of a fascination for old toys and now I've a son will be great to make one for him. Hes only 13 months though so unfortunately can't join in making it but think he would appreciate the animation x

The word ZOETROPE means closer to: animate motion - - or zoo= animal and trope= going
