So today I tried two different ways to create animations with them.   In Kindergarten we used a site called <a href=\"http:\/\/artpad.art.com\/artpad\/painter\/\">ArtPad<\/a>. It records the painting process from start to end, so students painted their flowers in the order they grow: first the seeds, then the roots, stem, leaves, and flower.  We also labeled the parts. When you click on the students&#8217; pictures, you can see the animation and it looks like the flower is growing!  You can also speed it up or slow it down. Check them out by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/silberflowers\">here<\/a>.  In first grade we used a site called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abcya.com\/animate.htm\">ABCYa! Animate<\/a>. It was a bit more complicated because it was a frame-by-frame animation.  The nice thing about this website though is that you can duplicate frames (pictures) so the students don&#8217;t need to draw them over each time.  First we drew the background with the things plants need (soil, sky, sun), then on each picture we added the different steps: a seed falling into the soil, roots growing out of it, then a stem, leaves, and finally the flower. We also labeled the parts.
