The learning adventure begins with an interactive, illustrated, and narrated story. In this stage, the child will travel back in time to 19th-century Paris, where they will help the inventor Émile Reynaud create the praxinoscope. The story provides historical context and engages the child in the learning process.

Learn

In the second stage, the child is invited to explore educational material in a simple and engaging way. They will learn the fundamentals of optics, how animation works, and its history. The learning experience is enriched with exciting examples and fun visual content to make the concepts easy to understand.

Assemble

After expanding their knowledge, it’s time to build the praxinoscope! A detailed step-by-step instruction manual will guide the child through the assembly process, making it easy and engaging.

We encourage you to join in this stage as well – building together turns the experience into a fun and memorable activity!

Play

Finally, it’s time to test the newly built device! In this stage, the child will gain a deeper understanding of how the praxinoscope works by using it firsthand.

During playtime, they can use the included animation strips or create their own by drawing on the blank strips and watching their illustrations come to life.

Let creativity take flight – the possibilities are endless!
