Quick Draw Flip Books Klutz
May 11, 2009 by Leisure Crafts

The Quick Draw Flip Books Book from Klutz teaches kids to make “motion pictures” using their rip, clip, grip, and flip method! Kids can sketch, color, and practice drawing on the pages of this book using the special perforated pages with partially finished drawings to make a unique funny story. When done, they just tear out the finished pages, use the special clip, and they have a great new flip book - 8 in all! Includes 4 sturdy slip-book clips, 5 colorful mini-markers, an easy technique guide.
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Clever idea, but might be hard to make your own
My kids have dabbled in making simple flip books before, so when I saw this, I thought it might spark more creativity. Basically the book has 8 flip books that they have started for you (about 2 x 6 inches each), and you finish it up with your own sketches. Their flip books have nice backgrounds already printed on them, like a frog on a rock, and they give you instructions on where to draw the fly and the frogs tongue. Each book has about 35 pages and it is pretty cool when they get one done. Included are the clips to hold the flip book together and a few little markers to use for coloring. It does not include any blank pages to make your own flip books from scratch, and the paper they use is thicker than regular printing paper. 3×5 card would probably work well.
Still, it is pretty fun, although once you rip out all the flip books, you will have a shell of a book that has a little bit of info in it, but won’t be something you want to store.
5 Stars An addicting product
My son is 8. He’s addicted to video games. But when he’s grounded, he’s not allowed to use them. I have despaired of finding any activity that interests him as much as Mario games on the Wii…until his 8th birthday party, when a friend gave him this Quick Flip Books project as a gift. He has spent the last three days working on this, with only brief interludes to go play outside or whatever. Video games have not been touched! He’s obsessed with the flip books and I only wish there were more (different) flip book project kits like this one. It’s a real winner.
