Optical Devices!!!!



      Hey everyone! So I had found this cool toy that people in the 1800's would entertain themselves with. This certain object was called a Thaumatrope. The Thaumatrope was a pretty complex toy, that would have two pictures in it. When you pull the strings quickly it would make a type of animation. Although it wasn't as popular, and as exciting, it would be a pretty cool toy. Since back in the day no one had t.v. so watching this would probably make time fly. It would be like a mini flip book. It seems like a cool toy, and I would like to see one now!!

      This website did show all of the old optical toys, but it wasn't much of a interesting site. It was boring looking, they should try and make it more appealing to make more people look at it. Also maybe explain the toys more about how they work and everything.
