Creative Catholic Kids: Stop Motion Animation with Catholic Toys

AKA “How I got my kids to play quietly for over an hour in silence.” If you’re looking for a fun activity for your children to get them excited about the faith and storytelling, this is the lesson for you!

Stop motion is a way of creating films by taking pictures of figurines slowly over time (think Wallace and Gromit or the old Rankin/Bass holiday films). 24 pictures = 1 second of motion. When you play back each frame, it looks like your figurines are coming to life and moving on their own!

I had my 8 (almost 9) and 6 year old daughters help create some stop motion videos for this lesson using our Nativity set and saint figurines. Easy enough for a little kid to follow, but engaging/challenging enough for a big kid (or grown-up).

Back when I was a middle school art teacher, we would have an awards ceremony where we would watch each kid’s animations. You could have a family movie watching party and enjoy popcorn while celebrating your hard work!
