WONDERTURNER

Wonderturner.
Turning marvel is a toy that was popular in Victorian times.
It consists of a disk or card with a picture on each side attached to two pieces of string when the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers.
Both pieces appear to combine into a single image due to persistence of vision.

These were the first optical toys, simple devices that continued to provide animated entertainment until the development of modern cinema.
Required materials:
Paper
Pencil and eraser
Scissors
Strings
White cardboard
