I came cross this online application when I search tool for movie maker. This 3D creative application is best for story telling, it is so awesome! Toontastic is available at Google Play. It is absolutely free application and safe download.

This digital tool can empower children to create, learn and share their ideas through play. Toontastic provides basic guidance for children on constructing their own animated stories.

It is very easy to start your own movie using this application. But How?

What children need to do, is to decide what kind of story they want create. There are three options available for selection which is Short story, Classic Story or Science story.

The Short story contains 3 parts which is Beginning, Middle and End, whereby Classic and Science story have 5 parts. For beginners, I start with short story!

After selecting your story, you need to choose a suitable settings related to your story.

After you set up the animation settings, comes the interesting part. Children need to their select actors either from available cast listed or they can create their own.

After complete the above steps, it is time for you to start your scene. Teacher may help student with the scripts. You can move the character and use different voice tone during recording process.

This is the time when children can select mood or suitable background music to make their movie more attractive. The mood shall match with the scene.

Repeat the above steps until you finish your story then it is time for you to watch/share your 3D movie. I love to watch this simple 3D amination movie as it is shows the talent of the children with very creative way!
