Smartivity - Retroscope Movie Maker SMRT1014

Introduce young minds to the art of making movies!

Long before film cameras and digital film making were invented, movies were made using moving slides. One of the first movie-making machines, the Retroscope, uses Persistence of Vision to create an illusion of moving images. This exciting do-it-yourself kit introduces the fundamentals of storytelling and movie-making by encouraging kids to build a fully-functional, gear-driven movie-making machine from scratch. After assembly, rotate the handle and watch the slides play as an animated movie.

Kit includes two sets of pre-made cartoon slide panels: color and black-and-white set. Children can also design their own slides and bring their imagination to animated life!

The project assembly provides at least an hour-long engagement and the gameplay ensures that children proudly continue to play with the project even after.

Make this toy truly yours by customizing it with your own markers and paints.
