Phenakistoscope is basically a spinning animation that can be made by construction paper or cardstock.
As you can see in the photo, there is a character riding a bike repetitively but with different movements to make an animation. So when you spin the cardboard, it will turn into illusion of images in motion.
In 1832, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau and his sons introduced the phenakistoscope (“spindle viewer”).
This is a tutorial of how to make your own phenakistoscope.
