Thaumatropes
We made some cool thaumatropes. Basically in the times when they didn't have TV's, they used thaumatropes, because they looked like they were moving. What was really kind of cool I suppose. You draw a picture of something on a circle that is made out of card. e.g. a horse. then on another circle draw another picture that goes with the other picture. e.g. a rider. Get a hole punch and then stick the pictures together and hole punch them, next put the strings through the holes and you're done.
