Discover the art of animation!

The SpinAnimator™ Studio harnesses the power of zoetrope animation, turning simple illustrations into a cartoon that moves!

Choose from four different types of strips to learn and try out your animation skills. The instruction and idea guide teaches kids the basics of simple frame animation. They’ll learn how to draw their own comics!

SpinAnimato™ Studio is 100% kid-powered, no batteries or screens needed!

  1. Color in the illustrations or draw your own “film” strip animation.
  2. Load the animation “film” onto the SpinAnimator wheel
  3. Give the wheel a spin… Your art comes to life just like magic!

This patented creative studio includes everything kids need to create their own animations:

  • 48 assorted strips (18 color-in, 18 learn to animate, 6 color effects, 6 blanks)
  • 10 markers
  • 1 fine-line pen
  • 12-page detailed instruction guide
  • storage tray

The SpinAnimator™ Studio measures about 7 x 8 x 7.3 inches.

About zoetrope animation:

Zoetrope is one of the earliest forms of moving pictures. It creates the illusion of movement by spinning slightly different images so fast, the human eye blends them together. Our brains then interpret the slightly changing individual images as motion!

Fun fact: Kids (and their grown ups) have been playing with this type of toy since it was first introduced by Milton Bradley in 1866.
