The tArt of Dottiness
Size is not important; anywhere from 2 to 10 inches will work well.
Make two holes at opposite sides of the disc. Put a loop of
string through each pair of holes. If you want to
replicate the original image, draw a bird on one side of the disc, and
a cage on the other. The bird should be centered so that it
will
fit in the cage when the disc is spun. Hold the string ends one
in each hand and "
wind"
the thaumatrope by spinning the disc. Once the loops are twisted,
gently pull them, and the disc should spin quickly, putting
the bird in the cage.
