DIY animation and Mini Book

Did you enjoy the activities in the Circus Box? I can see you are back for more! Clowns are important characters in the circus because they make the audiences laugh. They have many skills and one of them is juggling. Watch your circus clown come to live through this simple DIY craft! (psst.. movies in the past were made this way too!)

 

What you need  Step by step
