Last week, we watched the original Wallace and Gromit film, “A Close Shave” (a “watch instantly” on Netflix). So, so cute. (A bit frightening in parts; so watch it before showing it to your young ‘uns.)
That spurred Ryan and the girls to watch some YouTube footage about how they make still frame films with clay.
Which, spurred me to write “Movie Making!” on the calendar for our family fun night.
‘Ends up, neither of our girls are inclined to cinematography presently, so after about 10 minutes, Ryan and I were having all of the fun and the girls were, well, “Giiirrrrrllls! Come back! This is family fun night!”
Unlike “A Close Shave,” there are no sheep or bad robot-dogs in our short. Only a little guy who needs a friend. Enjoy!

How COOL!! Looks like a LOT of fun! Something I could definitely do with my girls. Hannah (our 2yo) probably wouldn’t have as much fun as Gabriella (our 7yo), but it’d be worth it!
There is no stopping your family when it comes to combining creativity and tech skill… loved it!
awesome!! And I could see how easy it would be to get wrapped up in all the fun…and the kids would just walk off and do their own thing (because the parents are having way too much fun!) We will have to try this, thanks for the idea!
Haha, so cute! We used to do stop action film making too sometimes although ours tended to always include karate. Happy thanksgiving!
SOOO cute!!! I am definitely going to remember this idea for when my son is older!
You guys never cease to amaze me. So cool; this is hard stuff! Can’t wait for our visit!
Too cute!! I love this — what a great idea.
love it, so very cute! We are huge fans of Wallace and Gromit also, although I would stay away from the Curse of the Were Rabbit until the girls are bit older
Absolutely cute and creative claymation. Look forward to seeing you at our MOPS meeting this Thurs.
I LOVE this idea. So cute! So fun! You are doing great things; thanks for sharing them on this blog
Dear Laura,
I am feeling a little silly for posting my letter about church questions to you right in the comment section, especially on a new post. I have two sweet, dear friends who read your blog, and I would not want this to be the way they find out we are considering moving away from this area. Please, as soon as possible, could you remove my comment from the post from Saturday about Advent? I would really appreciate it. Sorry to bug you!!!
I am burying this on an older post, but hoping that you will still get it.
Sincerely,
Corrie
