This interactive Swimming Mermaid Craft<\/strong> is lots of fun and introduces kids to the simple curl animation technique.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably all heard of flip book animation or flick book animation where a series of slightly different images are stacked together and flicked through to trick the eye into seeing them as actually moving. This Swimming Mermaid Craft-Printable Curl Animation creates a similar effect but just uses 2 slightly different images.<\/p>\n

Curl animation is so much easier for kids to master and loads of fun. We\u2019ve created a printable curl animation for this swimming mermaid craft that kids can colour in and get moving in just minutes! The cute mermaid waves her hand and swishes her tail as if swimming in the water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once kids see the principle of curl animation working they\u2019ll be set to have a go at drawing their own too. The sky\u2019s the limit!<\/p>\n
