What’s good in it?

Creativity & curiosity4/5
Why this rating?

An imaginative Scanimation design makes animals appear to move and invites children to explore how pictures can create motion. It is highly inventive, though not an open-ended creative activity.

Educational value2/5
Why this rating?

Introduces young children to verbs and animal movements.

Positive messages1/5
Why this rating?

Lightly encourages curiosity, observation, play, and delight in movement rather than presenting a substantial moral lesson.
