Stop motion is an easy and fun way to get kids using their tablets to learn and create. These 5 activities and 6 tools are perfect for getting you started.
Digital Stop Motion Animation Hands-on stop motion animation is one of my favorite STEM activities to do with kids, because it can be tied into almost any subject area, offers high engagement, and develops patience, perseverance, and persistence. It's not always an option, though, such as when: Technology or materials are limited You don't have space to set up and keep sets available for multiple sessions (such as if you are teaching froma cart) Or in the case of no-sharing materials, hybrid or remote learning, you may not be able to do hands-on projects. Your kids are working on stop motion activities as a bonus or choice activity when they may only have 10-15 minutes at a time to devote to it. This is the perfect time to use digital stop motion animation instead! Simple Digital Stop Motion Animation A simple way to get started animating quickly is to use ABCYa Animate - backgrounds, characters (called stickers), and drawing tools are all built in. You can simply just jump right in and start animating! Some of the kids on my robotics team made a stop motion animation video with ABCYa (and then did some extra edits in OpenShot). You can see the video here: Animating with Google Slides Almost as easy as ABCYa is to just use Google Slides. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel with a tutorial video because there are dozens of them on YouTube already (I linked some below), but here are the basics: Start with a background Add in your animated component(s) as needed Duplicate the slide Move your animated component(s) ONE ARROW keystroke in any direction (if animating text add one letter per slide) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your animation is complete. Watch your stop motion animation video as directed in the tutorial videos and/or screen capture the video and add some cool post-edits, like music, sound, credits, etc. I like to use Shotcut or OpenShot for this. Stop Motion with Google Slides Tutorials How to create stop motion animations with Google Slides Using Google Slides for Stop Motion Animation Stop Motion Animation Tutorial using Google Slides Balloons Over Broadway or Thanksgiving Day Parade Stop Motion Animation This idea came to me as a way to tie in a digital STEM activity to the read aloud Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet. Students can create their very own Thanksgiving Day Parade with floats they find on Google image search, or they can draw their own with the drawing tool. Here is a video sample of a completed project: Why I love this project: Students can work in pairs, but they could also work alone to create a single animation or a complete parade of floats! Kids who struggle with drawing can use a float already found and instead apply their creativity to the animation aspect (changing size, aspect ratio, rotation) or having something exciting or unusual happen during the parade. Perhaps a bird flies by or a person photobombs the video! It can easily be shared to the whole class when complete, as well as family members, and then saved as part of a digital STEM portfolio. It seriously pushes the limits of persistence and patience. Stop motion animation is something that takes time and persistence to complete! Students are always so proud of their creations because they know just how much time they put into them. Get the Resource While you don't need this Digital Stop Motion Animation resource to complete the activity, I have included a background, various parade floats and vehicles, and step by step instructions so that students can do this project independently. Just download and get started right away! Christmas Stop Motion Animation If you celebrate Christmas in the classroom, this stop motion animation movie (or others) is so cute to create! I found just the perfect clip art elements to animate Santa Claus flying across the winter night sky. Here is a video sample: Snowman Stop Motion Animation If you want to create a winter-themed stop motion animation without Christmas theme, building a snowman is the perfect idea.

I'm Margaret Scrinkl, paper artist and stop motion animator from Russia.
Inject the 'A' into your STEM challenge projects with cut paper and the free app Stop Motion on the iPad. The 'A' being Art of course! Full STEAM ahead... We used Stop Motion and cut paper to make moving models of the Lunar Cycle and the phases of the moon in science. The challenge was that students were only allowed to use cut paper (you could also use Oreos for this to mimic the moon as shown in this free download) and the app Stop Motion to show all 8 lunar phases. As with any STEM/STEAM challenge, I introduced
I have always wanted to do a stop motion animation project with students but was overwhelmed the the amount of equipment I would need -- cameras, tripods, computers, computer software, a computer lab.... times however many groups I would have. Then came iPads and iPad apps. Sometime during the summer or fall I found an app called 'Stop Motion'. It's a .99 cent app that is super user friendly that creates stop motion animation -- you can do all sorts of things directly in this app to have a full video of awesomeness. Now that I found the app I just needed enough iPads - which was almost as overwhelming as needing ALL the extra equipment. Lucky for me our building purchased a few iPads for teacher/student use. I claimed the iPads for two weeks in May to try out stop motion animation! I waited. I planned. May came and suddenly it was time to load up the iPads with Stop Motion and pray to the art teaching gods that my lesson plan would work. The week before I drew out some backgrounds on some old file folders and asked students to color them when they were finished with work. I also took some GIANT white paper, an iPad, and a ruler to grid out the sight lines of the camera. I had students color this grey. The day came to put all my planning to the test - about 20 minutes before my first class walked in I tried to download the .99 app only to find no way to purchase the app and download it on each iPad. (rightfully so, the school ipads did not come with a credit card on file). I started to panic. Would I really need to buy 10.00 gift cards for each one for a 99 cent app?!!? Then I got smart. I gifted Stop Motion to myself 4 times and redeemed them on each ipad. WHEW. That was close. How I set it up: 3-5 kids in a group depending on how many students are in class (I had 6 stations) 1 Large white paper with grey trapizoid 1 background 1 iPad loaded with Stop Motion Pattern blocks 1 ruler to angle iPad I explained how the app worked, their job, how to rotate through being the director, and stressed as much as I could to NOT MOVE THE IPAD OR THE BACKGROUND. One student is the Director at a time. The director's job is to make sure all body parts are out of the shot- take the picture - then tell group to move pieces. I set a timer for 2 or 3 minutes (depending on group size). When the timer goes off directors change. The director doesn't get to boss around what the movers do - their only job is to clear the picture of body parts and take the picture. The group works together to make ONE long video - the video DOES NOT change when the director does. The lesson worked even better than I expected. The kids used the app with little help or instruction. I did find that the older students did a better job being patient and moving pieces a little at a time - the younger kids seemed to get excited and make larger movements between pictures. Towards the end of class I have groups clean up their stations while I collect their iPads and turn on the projector. When everyone is cleaned up we watch their movies on the digital projector. (All you need is an adapter that goes from your iPad to VGA cable for the projector). Overall the lesson was a complete success - I have parents e-mailing asking what app it is, students are begging to do it again next time (which I already have planned!)

How do you teach (or at least create) a stop motion animation with Kindergarten? Here's one idea... I took a sheet of glass out of a frame that I was not using. Using a thick cord, I created an 'X' and taped it to the glass. It took a little fussing when I hung it from the ceiling but I got it even eventually. I placed an iPad on top of the glass and start a Stop Motion Studio app. There is a feature on the app that allows you to set a timer to take pictures. I set it for 5 seconds. Right below the camera I create the structure for the piece of art I wanted the kids to work on. I made a mistake the day before and taped the paper to the floor (it pulled up some of the wax) so instead I used a large sheet of plastic to cover the art work. I made a stop at Office Depot on my way to work and picked up some red, yellow, and blue post it notes. I had the post it notes ready to go on a large board. I asked them to only take one at a time to move them around. We also practiced our 'safe feet' as the kids made their way across the artwork. See the video to get and idea of the classroom and direction. While I was working with these small groups I had 5 other station set up. Their were two stations with different blocks, a white board station, an iPad station, and a mini Mondrian artwork station. I rotated about every 5-7 minutes. Take a look at the final artwork. I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

The painting is fascinating with its powerful depiction in blue and magenta tones. The focus is on a magenta-colored bull, depicted in full motion. Its muscles are tense and its posture exudes indomitable power. Around it are people who try in vain to stop or influence it. The intensity of the colors and the dynamics of the scene give the painting a strong expressiveness and allow the viewer to literally feel the energy and freedom of the bull. It is a work that captures the natural power and independence of a majestic animal in a lively and haunting way. This charming bull picture is the perfect gift for anyone who loves animal art. The pink bull adds a special touch to farmhouse, western or country style. Hand painted with acrylic on canvas, this unique piece is a great addition to any home.

How many of you have ever tried STOP MOTION ANIMATION? For the uninitiated, stop motion animation is a film making technique that makes inanimate objects appear to move on their own. To make it work, you place an object in front of a camera and snap a photo. You then move the object a tiny bit and snap another photo. Repeat this process twenty to ten thousand times, play back the sequence in rapid progression, and the object appears to move fluidly across the screen. (http://tinkerlab.com/) MORE IS BETTER!

Stop Motion Animation for Kids Is the creativity and imagination of kids the 8th wonder of the world? Sometimes I think it might be. One of my favorite things to do in the makerspace is to observe the kids when they are creating their own stop motion animation projects. It's always a hub of joy and excitement. You can also make this a true STEAM project by exploring science topics, calculating frame rates, and working with numerous tech tools such as photo editing software, microphones, and various animation programs. There are many apps and programs you can use to create stop motion animation films that are kid-friendly: or iPhone or iPad: Stop Motion Studio, StopAnimator, iMotion, iMovie, Frameographer ($), iStopMotion ($) For Android devices: Clayframes, Stopmotion Studio, Stop-Motion Movie Creator (Minecraft) For Windows: I Can Animate 2, qstopmotion, Hue Animation Studio For Chromebooks, you can use the app called "Stop Motion Animator" for physical stop motion. You can also try digital stop motion with google slides and try something like the red ball challenge.If you have another one you enjoy, please feel free to comment below! Create a Stop Motion Animation with these Steps 1. Brainstorm ideas for the film. I'm not going to lie. This is probably the most challenging part of the process when working with groups of kids. One will want superheroes, another will want Star Wars, a third will hate both those ideas and only settle for something really gory. Start with a simple list and set ground rules if there are certain themes you want to avoid. Try to separate the groups by interest. The most important part? KEEP IT SIMPLE. Let me say that again slowly. Keep it simple. It takes such a long time to film a stop motion animation films that you will likely only get 1-2 scenes done. Have the kids focus on one character, what that character is doing in the scene, and what they are interacting with. Try not to have too many props in the scene that need to be adjusted with each frame. I prefer to have kids work with LEGOs for stop motion animation because it is easy to keep track of where all the pieces are on base plates. If you need to pause filming for a day or the set is disturbed, it's not impossible to set it back up again. 2. Possibly more important than the plot is the lighting. This might sound crazy at first, but there is nothing worse than capturing hundreds of frames for your stop motion animation only to watch it and see constant light flicker. If you do not set up your lighting, you will have light flicker, either from sun peeking in and out from clouds, or from shadows of the animators. Use two desk lamps to avoid light flicker and cancel out shadows, or invest in some quality lighting. Be sure it isn't so bright that you have glare! 3. Make a plan, Stan. Have your kids come up with a plan for the scene. They will start to get ideas for the set and solidify the actions their character is taking in the animation. The storyboard doesn't have to be elaborate but it can really help kids define the scene. 4. Design the set. This will be the highlight of the experience for some of the students. It's where they get to create their world and imagination comes to life. The simplest set can just be a backdrop. A more complicated set can have some props, but try to keep them to a minimum as they can be complicated to work around when filming. 5. The fun part! Filming the stop motion animation. Okay, well *some* kids will have fun with this part. Many will have the patience to move their characters just a little each frame, but some will get frustrated with this part. If that is the case, you can have the kids switch off being the director or the photographer. They can make sure that all characters in the scene are moving at roughly the same rate as each other, and check to make sure the captured frames look good. If a set gets moved, they can also line it back up again. 6. Editing your stop motion animation film. Did the set shift in a frame? Maybe you captured a hand in a frame? One frame just doesn't line up quite right? It's time to remove those frames. If you have kids who are skilled at photo editing, they may be able to manually edit frames that didn't capture correctly. This is also a great time to loop any frames that make sense to loop. If the characters are having a dance party, for instance, there is no reason you can't duplicate frames and loop them several times. It will add significantly to the length of the film. You can even drop them in in reverse, like Boomerang for Instagram. Don't have fancy photo editing software? Try Gimp. It's free! 7. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. This is the most exciting part, next to watching the film. It's time to add sound effects or green screen effects, and record any voice overs. You can have students plan out what they are going to say and write it down, then practice as they watch the animation. Do a practice run, and then record sounds. It might take a few tries to get it right but it will take far less time than all the other steps. You can also add any beginning and ending credits at this time. 8. Movie time! I promise that the kids will want to watch their film over and over the first time they see it. Thankfully it is also probably only about 30-60 seconds long.
