Materials Needed:

• Dot Stickers
• Sharpie Markers
• Index cards or old business cards

To make these flipbooks, simply use dot stickers! They are uniform in shape, come in multiple colors, and are easy to stick onto your cards. 

After planning how you want your dots to "move," place the stickers in slightly different positions on each card to imitate animation. (Remember to leave the left side of your card blank because you'll need to hold that side to flip the cards.)

If you want to draw, you can always add details like a face!

When you're done with your flipbook, stack all your cards on top of each other and flip away! Make adjustments to your dot placement as necessary.
