How does thaumatroop make work?
What kind of thing is that? A thaumatroop?
Some people will remember it from their childhood. Or may have made or played along. According to Wikipedia, this is a Thaumatroop :
“A thaumatroop (Ancient Greek: thauma = wonder, trope = draaiing) is aan twee zijden bedrukt vlak, waaraan aan de zijkanten touwtjes bevestigd zijn. By rolling the strings quickly between the fingers, alternately the front and back of the thaumatrope becomes visible. "
Aha, so an image that will move quickly, due to a twist of the strings or rubber bands. Sometimes the picture is on a stick that you then roll between your hands quickly.
These are all ways how you can use it. But what makes this thaumatroop so much fun? You can vary enormously with it. You can link it to seasons, holidays, or just a fun way to get busy in your spare time. I immediately share a number of videos where you get a good impression of this activity.

Met een knoop van een jas of zo, touwtje erdoor en dan stond de knoop dwars op het touwtje.
Aan beide kanten de vinger erin, opdraaien en dan trekken, dan gaat de knoop snel draaien.
