🎬 Blink - Stop Motion Animation
Create. Animate. Speak French.
A hands-on stop-motion animation program for kids ages 6–12.
In Blink, kids create characters, build sets, develop stories and bring their ideas to life frame by frame — all in a supportive French-speaking environment.
French isn't the subject of the activity. It's part of the experience.
Whether your child is already in French Immersion or is just beginning to learn French, Blink gives them a reason to listen, communicate and build confidence with the language while doing something genuinely creative.
Led by Antoine De Henau Ontario-certified French Immersion teacher and native French speaker from Belgium. Founder of French Beyond the Classroom.

WHAT KIDS ACTUALLY DO
Blink is a stop-motion animation program in French immersion where kids create their own animated film in a supportive French-speaking environment.
They will:
- Create clay characters, props and miniature sets
- Develop stories, characters and scenes
- Animate their creations frame by frame
- Experiment with movement, timing and camera angles
- Record dialogue and voice-overs
- Add music, sound effects, titles and credits
- Edit everything into a finished film
Along the way, they'll create, collaborate and use French naturally while experiencing the filmmaking process from idea to finished movie.
All equipment and materials are provided. No animation experience or French needed.
