Screen Machines

K-5th

$8.95

Learners build

A cardboard scrolling machine that turns a hand-drawn strip into a moving illustrated story.

Learners start by building a screen and scroll mechanism, then draw a story strip that moves through the frame.

From there, they can revise scenes, add longer scrolls, collaborate on shared stories, or retell science, history, and imagination-driven narratives.
