Soccer Ball by Bea (4 years old)

We asked Bea what she wanted to do next and she said she wanted to draw a soccer ball being kicked. So we thought this was a good time to show her the difference(s) between a frame and a keyframe and how it makes creating a smoother motion so much easier.  We told her to draw 3 frames of where she wanted the ball to start, how high it went and where it ended and this would be her 3 keyframes. She then created 2 drawings between keyframes and end up with the animation you see here. We've never seen a prouder face than the face she made when she clicked play!

The one that started it all.

While watching TV cartoons Bea asked us how animations were made so instead of trying to explain to a 4 year old what a frame by frame animation is we decided to use an iPad app to show her and soon after a quick tutorial this is what she made.
