What you need for this ZOOMdo:

  • index cards
  • markers
  • pencils
  • tape


What you do for this ZOOMdo:

  1. First cut an index card in half and draw two pictures that will match up. For example, you can draw a bird on one side, and a cage on the other.

  2. Make sure you draw in the middle of each side of the card so your drawings will match up.

  3. Tape the cards -- drawing sides out -- to opposite sides of a pencil.

  4. Tape around the edges of the cards.

  5. Spin the pencil between your hands.

  6. If you made it right, you should see the bird in the cage.
