Agamographs for a Rainy Day

Looking for something to do on a rainy afternoon or maybe just need an easy craft to entertain the kids?
A-ga-mo-graphs.
It's a funky word but creating one is lots of fun. These Agamographs are a great activity,
To make one, you need:
1 ruler
2 sheets of white paper,
pencil
scissors
a glue stick
colored pencils or markers
1. On two sheets of paper, draw ten lines spaced one inch apart. Cut off the leftover strip on each sheet.

2.Cut one sheet in half along the fifth line. Draw a different picture on each of the two halves. We recommend the pictures have a theme, like a sun and a moon, or Hillary and Donald. Fill in all of the white space. (if you arent feeling extremely confident in your artistic skills, feel free to trace coloring book page or printed image from the computer.

3. Cut the drawings along the lines.

4. Glue the strips from one picture in order on every other section of the uncut sheet. Glue the strips from the other picture onto the remaining spaces. Basically alternate the picture strips in order - every other space and glue in place.

5. Fold the paper accordion-style. Add a yarn or ribbon hanger. Stand back and enjoy your artwork from different angles. p.s. It is best if your agamograph is viewed at eye level (not higher or lower). Have fun!!!

Here's an agamograph my daughter and I made the other day. She chose the characters and we each did one of the images. It was really fun!
