Dear Friends,

In today's lesson, we’ll create a thaumatrope! A thaumatrope is a 19th Century optical toy. The word thaumatrope means ‘spinning wonder’. It creates the illusion that two separate images on either side of a paper become one when it spins quickly.

After you watch the video above, download the full lesson here.

When you're done, upload your artwork to Facebook or Instagram using #shareyourmagic #ARTSareEssential and make sure to tag us! 

Happy Creating! Have fun, stay well, and we'll see you soon!

Elbow bumps,
The Magic Box Team
