Description:

Make your own cartoon and explore how eyes work in this hands-on science kit. Start with a comic-book adventure through prehistoric France and the Middle East to discover how people told stories through pictures in ancient times. Then investigate how eyes work together with the brain to power the sense of sight. Youll follow in the footsteps of early animators as you build a working zoetrope and praxinoscope, then use them to make your own cartoons! Hands-on activities guide you through the fun of drawing 3-D objects, mastering a magic trick with hidden ribbons, and more as you delve into the wondrous world of optical illusions!
