Experiment with Animation Technology

With 6 different modes of experimentation, this animation kit combines a Zoetrope with a Phenakiscope and an adjustable LED strobe to produce a variety of really cool animation effects. You’ll be able to customize your own moving Illusions, too!  Some assembly is required.

Increasing or decreasing the speed of the LED strobe brings the animation to life (or slows it to a complete stop) as the characters spin wildly atop the platform. Best viewed in the dark, you'll marvel at how you can control these amazing visuals with the simplest of adjustments.

This optical experimentation kit includes 95 pieces and full-color instruction manual. Requires 4AA batteries (not included). For ages 8+ with adult supervision.

Modes:

• Phenakistoscope Mode
• Inner Cylinder Zoetrope Mode
• Outer Cylinder Zoetrope Mode
• Double Cylinder Zoetrope Mode
• Die Cut Zoetrope Mode
• Develop Your Own Zoetrope Mode
