I don’t have my objects as I write this, we turned them in during the last class period. So, I will attempt to describe these as accurately as possible.
For my thaumotrope, I traced the opening of a mason jar on a piece of white cardboard. I drew a cat on one side and a window on the other, the image should look like a cat peering out the window. The “string” I used was some dental floss, I didn’t have another usable string. I tried thread but it didn’t work very well.
For the flipbook, I created about 30 images on post-it notes of a ball rolling up and down a hill. I glued the post-it notes together to make them more permanently connected.
