Make Your Own Zoetrope 

This project involves making with your hands and dreaming up different animation concepts. See the video above of what the final result looks like. If you take the time to draw 9 or 10 frames of an animation or print up 10 photos (small size) that together make an animation, you could create the Zoetrope to animate your drawings or photos.

Have a look at the link below for steps to create your own Zoetrope!
