Welcome to our Animating Kids posts. Each week we give you how-to tips for setting up and making animated movies with stop motion apps and techniques.

Animating Kids is a site we started to showcase our best tips and how-to videos.

We explore the many ways you can set up a mobile device for animation. We recommend using a dedicated tablet/phone stand, as they were made for exactly what we want: holding a mobile device in place. However, they can get quite pricy, so we have displayed other methods, in addition to the professional stand, to lock down a mobile device so it can be stable while you make your animated masterpiece.
