Stop motion animation is an educational pastime that can be enjoyed by kids aged 7 and beyond, for school projects or at home. It's a hobby where children can develop new skills over time for unlimited play possibilities.

Featured in Newsweek’s highly prized ‘Best in STEM’ list, and a STEM.org Authenticated educational product, the kit is popular with hobbyists, children, parents, and teachers.

Animators develop a range of multi-sensory skills when creating stop motion videos. Everyone in the group can take on a role that suits their abilities such as model maker, storyteller or director.

Creating animated movies offers a wide range of activities that support the development of social and emotional skills, including responsible decision making, self-management and social awareness.

Animation promotes a healthy, non-competitive use of technology, inspiring children to step away from their screens to make models and write stories with their friends and siblings.

Create a family memory forever by making videos for friends and relatives. The kit is so easy and fun to use that everyone will want to get involved (grown-ups included).

Toy cars can drive around the living room, toy dinosaurs can roam free in the garden, LEGO models can build themselves and teddy bears can have picnics: all through the magic of stop motion.
