THAUMATROPES... ANIMALS COME TO LIFE!
Perth Cultural CentreCorner of Francis and William StreetsPerth,What’s your favourite Western Australian animal?
Here’s your chance to make your own animation thaumatrope and see it come to life!
This interactive activity encourages children to think about iconic Western Australian animals and the habitats in which they live. Using the thaumatrope templates, children colour and decorate a Western Australian animal and a depiction of its habitat. When elastic bands are attached to the thaumatrope and twisted, an optical illusion occurs which places the animal in its natural environment. Presented by Awesome Arts.
