Construction Cut a disc from illustration or mat board.
Divide the disc into 12 equal parts, and cut slots in the edge of the disc at each division point. The animated sequence appears between the slits and slightly beneath them. It may be helpful to lightly draw a circle to line up the base of your animations. Remember that since this is a circular sequence, the motion from one image should blend into another all the way around. Once you are satisfied with your drawings, attach the wheel loosely to a wooden stick with a pushpin.
