Oh, This is SO Cool!

Do you have a fledgling director on your hands?  How about an artist?  Then this nifty thing might be for you.  It's a stop-motion movie maker!  I read about it on Coolest Gadgets.  It's made by Marvel and comes with some of our favourite characters: Spiderman, Hulk, Green Goblin, and Dr. Doom.  I think Little E would love this but alas, it's for ages 6-10.  If he were just a year older!  He loves Spiderman and Hulk (probably loves Hulk because Mommy loves Bill Bixby) and I think he'd get a kick out of creating his own movies.  Not to mention that you can put the movies on an SD card and save them onto the computer.  How cool is that? 

Yes, I know there's lots of software out there that will allow him to do things much more quickly and probably look more polished.  But where's the fun in that?  Some things are more fun the old fashioned way (note I didn't say "better" or "easier").

This little number will set you back about $50 on Amazon, but I suspect it's worth every penny.
