Thank you to all the chaperones who joined us on our field trip the Children’s Creativity Museum. The kids created clay blob characters to use in stop-motion animation. Their productions lasted between 10-30 seconds, including flying, dancing, jumping, slithering, and bouncing blobs! They also had to invent tools to help them solve tricky problems using assorted objects such as toilet paper rolls, bottle caps, and paper clips. Among the contraptions were a slingshot to tame a dragon in a grocery store parking lot and a dolphin trap to lure other sea creatures to rescue someone stranded at sea. They also got to do karaoke against a green screen, which is making me smile just thinking about their performances! All the clay animation and karaokes videos were given to me on a DVD format that can’t be shared, so they are sending differently formatted files so I can distribute them to you. In the meantime, Dan Avida kindly filmed (and gently edited) a couple karaoke performances for your entertainment (will also post links on the blog):
