The kids in my after school animation club never fail to turn what I think will be a calm, relaxing lesson into some sort of extreme brain warping venture.

Last week I asked them to bring in various objects they could animate with. One little guy brought in his sonic screw driver and spent the whole lesson trying to animate crazy psychedelic patterns. We had a bag of marbles reenacting Colditz and an animated rap made up of alphabet magnets.

It was a really fun lesson.
