This week's topic: 'Eyeglasses'
This week we would like you to create animations about eyeglasses. Make Flipnotes that feature characters wearing glasses, sunglasses or monocles. You might also want to make stories about eyeglasses with special powers, funny sunglasses, eye doctors (opthamologists) or what happens when someone can't find their eyeglasses. See where your creativity takes you!
Please submit your weekly topic Flipnotes by midnight on May 10, 2012 (Thursday) US Pacific Time, and we will present some of our favorites on May 11, 2012 (Friday).
