My 7 year old niece is very into crafts and interested in drawing.
So instead of the usual math or programming activities we do with the nephews, I decided to make an illustrated video with her this Christmas!
I was trying to encourage her to free-hand draw more.
Unfortunately she still mostly preferred tracing most of the time.
Here's our first draft in Keynote.
I asked her to name and type the titles of each illustration.
There are a few more scenes I would like to add including singing Frozen songs all week and practicing the Cup song.
I wanted her to learn that things don't need to be perfect first off; we can iterate!
I also purposely did not correct the angles of the pictures to see if she'll learn to take better pictures of the drawings next time.
I didn't have exciting Christmas songs, so we upgraded to Animoto and of course used one of their spiffy styles!
And here's an Animoto version w pics.
We took some videos over Christmas, so hopefully I can add those in once the brother-in-law finishes them.
