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.
STEM education
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.
Special Educational Needs (SEN/SEND)
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.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
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.
Balanced play
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.
Family fun for all ages
Create a family memory forever by making videos together for friends and relatives. The kit is so easy and fun to use that everyone will want to get involved (grown-ups included).
A new lease of life for old toys
Bring old favorites to life! The magic of stop motion means that toy cars can drive around the room, dinosaurs can explore a garden, LEGO models can build themselves and teddy bears can have picnics.

Customers say
Customers like the fun, ease of use, and age range of the camcorder. For example, they mention it’s simple to use, straightforward, and easy enough for them to learn. That said, they say it’d be great for kids interested in movie making. That being said, some complain about the software being buggy and difficult to install.
