“The sheets helped me think of ideas for my story”

” I really liked HUE Animation Toolbox, and I thought that it was very clever. I liked how you could make your own characters out of clay and the book of animation really inspired me. The idea for the sheets to create your own story was good and it helped me think of ideas for my story. I made a story about the clay hero and him hiding the avocados car keys and he was naughty but also very nice because he helped her get them out again. I used the idea of the faces on fruits for my avocado. The camera was very useful because it was in place and I started recording right away. But when you move it, it takes a little while to put it back in place.

My favourite part was making the clay figures for my story, I used the instructions on how to make a clay hero. I also made a zebra with the clay. I like that the clay is in strips – it makes it so much easier to mold into the animals you want. All the tools that came with it were useful because you don’t have to buy them separately. At the start I needed some help from mum to help me set up the stop motion because it was quite tricky. But we got it and it was very fun once we did it. Overall I really loved the box and am looking forward to making lots of videos, I have some ideas for using my TY toys in the next story.” Olive Capron, Aged 10

“Combines children’s interest in screens and technology with creativity!”

“As a parent, I think HUE Animation Toolbox is a fantastic way to combine children’s interest in screens and technology with creativity. It really brings together the best of both worlds; the hands-on making and doing that can sometimes be missed when using a screen. It’s also brilliant that everything you need fits neatly into the box, keeping things tidy and easy to pack away when not in use. Everything was great quality, the instructions were easy to follow, and the idea book was really helpful for sparking inspiration.”  Lucy Capron, Parent
