yesterday we were talking about plants for science and the different types of plants and how their physical appearances differ. so the boys went around the house taking close-up pics of all the plants and their leaves to compare. then they began to take multiple pics in a row so I mentioned  that they should try doing some stop-motion. yes, we digressed. now today, I have created a gif from their first try and they are thrilled. the subjects are their Skylanders characters for the wii game. they had a great time and I am sure there will be many more!
