2D animation
First, let's look at tools for working with 2D animation. In this section you can find options for both beginners and experienced cartoonists.
Moho
The current version of Moho Pro 13.5 is a professional program for working with 2D animation. With its help, you can draw on a graphics tablet, make storyboards and layer-by-layer processing. In addition to tools for creating your own objects, there is a built-in library of visual objects and characters. Compatible with Unity, a cross-platform game development environment. You can export and import scenes, add a background, and overlay audio on video. There is a special technology for creating a realistic skeleton.
Character Animation in Moho
Moho is often used for cartoon production by professional studios. Famous examples: “Song of the Sea” and “The Secret of Kells”.
The program has a clear interface. At launch, you are encouraged to study introductory lessons. Trial period - 30 days, one-time purchase: $59.99 for Debut and $399.99 for Pro - choose depending on your level. If a new version is released, you can update the current one for an additional fee. In my opinion, this is more profitable than subscription apps. Overall this is a good option for creating 2D animation, but Moho is not suitable for 3D animation.
Synfig Studio
Synfig Studio is a free service for 2D animation with open source code, donations are optional. Intermediate frames are created automatically. Morphing technology, filters, gradients, skeletal animation are available. The ability to add soft shading through support for contour gradients. A variety of effects can be applied to layers or groups of layers.
Free animation software Synfig
Works with vector format, there is a function for importing raster images. You can draw on the tablet by adjusting the line thickness with the pressure applied. HDRI technology is used for correct color reproduction. Sound and animation are synchronized. Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Translated into Russian.
Disadvantages include a not very user-friendly interface, high RAM load, and difficulties with exporting files. Synfig is constantly being improved, and for a free program it is a very good option.
Pencil2D
Another free application, suitable for working with raster and vector formats, between which it is easy to switch. Pencil2D is a simple editor for creating 2D animation at an amateur level with a standard drawing set.
Pencil2D interface
You can work on a computer or tablet, add multiple layers, use filters and effects. Compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux.
The main advantage is the absence of fees. The disadvantage is that the program is not suitable for creating complex animations. For a beginner, this is a normal option.
OpenToonz
A professional open source 2D animation tool available free for commercial and non-commercial use on Windows, macOS and Linux.
OpenToonz was used to create the animated series SpankBob and Futurama, anime from Studio Ghibli, and other projects. Works with raster and vector graphics; it is convenient to use a tablet for drawing. The program has a lot of tools and cool effects; skeletal animation and transfer of images from tracing paper are available.
Animation software OpenToonz
Considering OpenToonz's capabilities and how free it is, it's one of the best options for 2D animation. Of the minuses: the Russian interface language is not provided, and sometimes there are bugs. The site provides links to manuals, but the text inside is in Japanese. There is a forum for developers and a Google group for users, where communication takes place mainly in English. You can also find lessons on the Internet.
Krita
Krita is a graphics editor that offers frame-by-frame animation. A wide selection of brushes and other tools, vector and raster graphics, the ability to work with layers, mirror function, autosave. You can draw on a tablet. Intuitive interface similar to Photoshop.
Animation software Krita
The program is free and supports Russian language. Krita is not the most famous in Russia, but is a fairly good editor. Of the minuses: bugs happen, it can crash.
Cartoon Animator 4
A 2D animation program formerly known as CrazyTalk Animator. In Cartoon Animator 4 you can animate images, work with backgrounds and various details. The editor allows you to accurately convey facial expressions and lip movements. Fast and high-quality rigging, templates and motion libraries are available. Suitable for creating animation and games. Using a special script, you can export animation to Adobe After Effects.
Program for creating animation Cartoon Animator 4
The site has a lot of useful materials in English. The interface is also in English. The trial period is 30 days. There are two versions available for purchase: Pro for $99 and Pipeline for $199. The difference between them can be seen on the program website. At the moment, the price has been reduced - $69 and $129, respectively. Available on Windows and macOS.
The downside is that there are bugs, sometimes there are crashes, but overall this is a good option for your money.
Simple but powerful landing page builder

Fun for kids with simple props
Balls, compact pump, large garbage bags
Now I won’t tell you for a long time what all this is needed for, I’ll send you to the cool selection “15 competitions with balloons.” In fact, this is a ready-made program for an animator. Let's read!
If your holiday takes place outside in the summer, you can pour a little water into the balloons instead of air. For example, in the country scenario “The Cave of Three Parrots” I wrote how to use such props.
Plastic and cardboard disposable cups
They are convenient to carry in a “chest” as they fold up perfectly, but at least two games can be played.
- This is a calm option, when children are asked to quickly build a pyramid from inverted cups (in a more complicated version, with their eyes closed). Bottom floor - 5 pieces in one row, on top, in a checkerboard pattern 4, then 3, 2, 1.
- Dancing with obstacles . The pyramid now has to be built by the animator himself. For this purpose, take the largest glasses, cardboard ones (400-500 ml). The meaning of the game is reminiscent of “Limbo” (a Hawaiian game when dancers must walk under a rope, leaning back), only the rope lowers with each new stage of the competition, and our pyramid of cups grows. Build on the floors gradually, let them be half human height. You need to jump over the obstacle while dancing.
Magnetic fishing rod and fish
I don’t know what the secret is, but even fairly large children like the “Fishing” relay race. “Lakes” can be drawn with chalk if there is no hoop. Or put it out of string (we definitely have it in our chest). We divide into 2 teams (each has its own lake, the number of fish should be the same), we give the first player a fishing rod, and send them off for speed fishing. He catches a fish, returns, and passes the fishing rod to the second player. The team that catches all the fish in their lake the fastest wins.
Piece of lining fabric 4 m
Any fabric will do, but if you find blue, it will be a real wave. Two adults make sudden movements, inflating the tissue. You can quickly run under the waves, the kids absolutely love it. You can put one child in petals. So we play a game of attentiveness. If there are more than 10 children, we put one child with his back, and from the other children we select one and hide it in a cloth. The presenter needs to quickly remember who exactly was hidden. You can joke, hide someone not from your company, let the player puzzle over who is missing.
Finger puppets and mitten puppets, thick fabric 150x150 cm
1. Theater. In principle, children 3-6 years old are ready to act out fairy tales in the classic version. You distribute dolls to everyone and assign roles, acting as a storyteller. Improv theater is great entertainment.
For children 7-10 years old, you need to come up with an unusual plot (intertwine the events of different fairy tales or update it “in a modern way”).
The fabric will act as a screen (children or parent volunteers hold it by the two upper ends)
2. Teremok - a comic game . Parents' help will be needed again. The fabric now needs to be stretched parallel to the floor at a height of 1 m, holding the corners. Children, wearing glove dolls on their hands, climb into the “house”. Now the animator plays the role of a bear who wants to crush the tower. You artistically come to terms with whichever side you want to lean on the roof from, sit down slightly, and the children run away screaming.
Clothesline
There are several options here, it’s a very successful prop :-).
1. Limbo. It's always fun with a group of any age group. Two people pull the rope parallel to the floor at neck level, then 10-15 cm lower, even lower, and even lower. All participants in the celebration must walk under the rope to cheerful music, arching their backs.
2. From a rope (5-7 meters) you can lay out tracks for a relay race on the floor. Children walk a winding path like a tightrope at speed.
3. You tie prizes to the rope, which the children cut off with their eyes closed.
4. One end of the rope is tied to the box with the gift, the other to the pencil. Whoever winds the entire string around the pencil the fastest wins a prize.
5. We divide the children into 2 teams, each with the same piece of rope. Each team member needs to be “strung” on a string through a loop in a jacket, through a belt, jacket or T-shirt (from one sleeve to another), through laces in sneakers or even bows on the head. The winners are those children who did it all faster and funnier.
Bubble
Well, it's actually a win-win. I use them when filming a video for a funny children's song. Beautiful, funny, looks very cool in the video. You can hold a competition for the biggest bubble. Soap balls fit into any plot. For example, here is a game program script for kindergarten graduation in which bubbles fill the role of Martian precipitation.
If it is possible to hold a party outside, organize a “Parade of Soap Bubbles”.
Banana
In principle, you can also use a cucumber. Or something inedible altogether. The point is this. Remember the cartoon "38 Parrots"? There they measured the height of a boa constrictor in parrots. And we'll be covered in bananas! This is such a height meter. From the floor to the top of the head we measure the birthday person with a banana, and if it turns out that the height is 8 and a half bananas, we demonstratively peel and bite off the excess part. The birthday boy himself, his parents or one of the guests can take a bite.
Skittles and ball
Everything is clear here, let's play bowling. When there are several children of about the same age, the entertainment is very exciting. We give several attempts, count the pins knocked down for each participant or team, and reward the winner.
If this is happening at a children's summer camp, factory-made skittles can be replaced with bottles of sand or water (fill them one-third full).
Children's safe darts
The boys really like it. Being the most accurate at a children's party is a very important victory. It is convenient that such a dart is rolled up into a small tube (the target is soft, you only need a strong nail on the wall).
Can be replaced with darts with sticky balls. Always play with passion and for a long time!
11. Ring throw
Another opportunity to compete; such a thing doesn’t take up much space in your chest. If you promise a prize for the most accurate person, even the most passive children will join the game. Ring-throwers of unusual shape (butterflies, snakes, octopuses, etc.) are most loved.
Flashlights
If a children's party takes place in winter, when it gets dark early, turn off the lights in the room and hand out flashlights to all children. We are announcing a competition for the funniest ghost. To do this, you need to turn on the flashlight, illuminate your chin from below and make a face. Very funny, friends!!!
We also draw mysterious signs on the wall. You can start with simple symbols and letters (they are easier to guess), then try to draw the hidden object with light. The house and the snowman are quite recognizable.
Ears, noses, wigs. Mustache-sponges-glasses on a stick
All this is just fun to wear, but for a comic photo shoot it’s a godsend. Any holiday store has carnival accessories, buy them. By the way, they are not only New Year's. There are great items that can be used any time of the year.
also play the following game : place them on a small table, so that there are 1 fewer wig ears than the participants. Turn on fun music and let the children walk around the table. The melody ends abruptly, the children grab the accessories and quickly put them on. The one who is left “without a nose” is eliminated :-). Yes, it's like playing with chairs!
There are a lot of cool sets of photo props here.
Noise instruments for a merry orchestra
Spoons, rattles, rattles, bells, small bottles with coins, rustling bags, squeaking toys, rattles.
Rhythmic music, such as the Radetzky March, should be recorded.
Box and cracker
Any box with a lid will do (shoe boxes can be covered with bright paper). Children stand in a circle and place the box in the center of the circle. Let's play psychics. You need to take turns naming the items that may be in this box. Invite children to make movements with their hands like psychics, close their eyes and perform shamanism in every possible way :-). We give three attempts. Whoever is closest to the answer wins. You can add candy, prizes, toys... or a firecracker! Let the confetti fly out and shower all the participants. Girls like it when there are rose petals in the firecracker...
Cards with comic tasks
Not only the animator, but also the children get tired of constant noisy and active games :-). All sorts of cards with pictures will be very useful here. Children, as you know, love tasks with random answers; they find it incredibly funny. Suitable for ages 5-7 years.
The animator asks questions. For example: “What will you fly to the sea?” Children take turns drawing cards with cards: “On a cloud!”, “On a donut,” “On a vacuum cleaner,” “On a soap bubble!” etc.
Or this: “What do you most want as a gift for your next birthday?” Children: meat grinder, paper airplane, crocodile, stone, sunflower seed, etc.
There are also forfeits, danetkas, “Crocodile” with different variations, comic questions and answers, etc.
Board games
This is also a break from running around. Convenient to use if there are no more than 5-6 small guests.
Even children who are familiar with computer games find it boring to play adventure games. But if together with an animator, it’s a completely different matter. Some people get so carried away that they can't stop. I recommend! The box does not take up much space, chips and dice are included.
Disco ball
If you can darken the room, turn on the disco ball. It costs very little, and the disco turns out much more spectacular, believe me!
Chalks for face and body, paints for face painting
For a person who does not have special skills in face painting, crayons are just a godsend! You can draw simple patterns on your face and hands (of course, more fun for girls): flowers, hearts, cats, mice, emoticons, etc.
Toilet paper rolls
It’s you, dear animators, who are tired of playing mummy! And every year children are born who wrap themselves in toilet paper for the first time! Let them have lots of fun!
Another option (you can do it at the table). Pass the roll around and let the children tear off as many squares as they want. This is a test of greed (just don’t warn us in advance). Just come up with a “punishment”: say as many wishes to the birthday boy as you tear off the squares (do push-ups from the floor, crow, hug as many people, and so on).
Large fireplace matches or counting sticks
There are several interesting puzzles for logical thinking. Keep in mind, sometimes even adults get involved in solving :-). Here are puzzles that will captivate both children and their parents (we copy the link): https://logo-rai.ru/index.php/zadachi-golovolomki-so-spichkami?start=3
Rolled drawing paper
A good idea even if there are a lot of children. Roll out several meters of paper on the floor, give wax crayons or thick felt-tip pens. You can paint a huge picture on the topic. For example, “Underwater World” or “Sky”.
Materials for a creative master class
They are quite expensive, so discuss with your parents in advance whether you will paint glasses or cups with ceramic markers, draw on round stones , make gel candles, soap, paint photo frames, etc. Ideas for master classes can be found here (we hold them at children's parties).
Awards and prizes
If you choose the prizes for the holiday yourself, take ideas from my article “100 ideas for 100 friends under 100 rubles.”
If not, you should have some supply of stickers for clothes and comic medals (at least drying on a line).
Inflatable suit
If you spend a lot of holidays, it makes sense to invest in an inflatable costume. Host several competitions or a disco as a fat ballerina or personal trainer. Children really like this unexpected transformation. Read more HERE.
3D animation and universal programs
Let's move on to applications that are used to work with 3D animation or are universal.
Adobe Animate
A professional program with powerful tools for creating illustrations and animations. Using Adobe Animate, you can process a finished image or create a new one, add sound, and add video. The application supports raster and vector graphics and allows you to create 2D and 3D animation. There is a library of ready-made objects.

Adobe Animate interface
The trial period is seven days. Subscription costs 1,622 rubles per month, if you take the annual plan. Purchasing one month will cost 2,435 rubles.
If you work in other Adobe programs, you can subscribe to all products at once: the monthly payment in the first year will be 2,318 rubles, from the second year - 4,097 rubles. For students and teachers, the discounted price is 1,237 rubles per month, and from the second year - 2,318 rubles. There is also a special offer for businesses: 2,190 rubles monthly for the entire package of Creative Cloud applications.
The main disadvantage is the cost if you don’t make money from animation, but are just learning or want to try. Otherwise, this is a good program for creating animation. There are several built-in lessons and many tutorials on the Internet.
Simple animation based on the built-in lesson
Adobe After Effects
Another powerful program from Adobe that is used to create 2D and 3D animations and interesting visual effects, as well as video editing. Adobe After Effects is one of the main tools for motion designers.
Adobe After Effects Interface
Using Adobe After Effects, they create impressive designs: animated interfaces, infographics, titles, dynamic titles for films, screensavers and transitions for videos. Ready-made templates available. Using keyframes and expressions, the program can animate any objects. It is often used in the creation of commercials and music videos, in cinema and animation.
You can implement almost any idea in After Effects, but it is a rather complex tool - a beginner will have to learn for a long time. There are many freely available lessons for different levels.
Simple logo animation
Another disadvantage is the fairly high price. The trial period, as in the previous case, is seven days. A subscription costs 1,622 rubles per month if taken for a year. With prepayment, the annual amount will be slightly more profitable - 18,547 rubles instead of 19,464 rubles. The cost of the plan for one month is 2,435 rubles. You can also subscribe to all Creative Cloud products.
Cinema 4D
Maxon's professional solution for 3D modeling, animation, simulation and realistic rendering. Used in design and game development, motion graphics, visual effects, augmented, virtual and mixed reality. Cinema 4D was one of the main tools when creating the film Doctor Strange.
Cinema 4D interface
The MoGraph module allows you to quickly and easily create complex animations. Using the Clone tool, you can clone objects according to specified parameters. They are easy to arrange and give movement using effectors. MoGraph makes it possible to control a large number of objects.
Cinema 4D is a universal program with a clear interface. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux. Perhaps the main disadvantage is the price. After registering with Maxon, you have a 14-day trial period. A month of using Cinema 4D costs 8883 rubles. When purchasing a license for a year, the monthly payment will be 5,279 rubles.
Blender
Blender is a free software with which you can perform the entire process of creating 3D animation: modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, realistic rendering, compositing, motion tracking, video editing. Works with 2D animation, both types can be combined. For high-quality 2D drawing, use the Grease Pencil tool.
Blender - a program for animation in 2D and 3D
A large set of tools makes it easy to create and transform models. Seamless textures can be created. Blender has tools for sculpting and polygon modeling, so you can quickly go from concept to finished model. Sculpting includes 20 different types of brushes, support for different resolutions, dynamic topology, mirroring. In addition to the built-in brushes, you can create new ones.
Blender is constantly evolving and becoming more popular.

For $9.9 per month you can subscribe to Blender Cloud and get access to various materials, tutorials and additional textures. The service itself is completely free. Additional advantages: user-friendly interface and speed. Of the minuses: not all tools are powerful enough, there are bugs.
Toon Boom Harmony 21
A professional program that is used to create cartoons by major studios: Walt Disney, Warner Bros., DreamWorks and others. Full functionality for creating 2D animation, from drawing to final rendering. Operating systems: Windows, macOS.
Harmony 21 offers ample opportunities for creativity: a large set of brushes and an advanced engine, special effects, convenient work with color and sound. Layer overlay, particle smoothing, scene transitions and other useful features are available. The program can capture images from cameras and allows you to convert two-dimensional objects into 3D. The True Pencil tool lets you scan a drawing from tracing paper. There is a library of textures and patterns.
Toon Boom Harmony Interface
The trial period is 21 days. It’s convenient that there are three options for different levels, goals and financial capabilities. Essentials contains all the basic features and costs €27.50 monthly. If you pay annually, it will be € 18.29 per month. Suitable for students and hobbyists.
The Advanced package adds tools for working with raster graphics, 4K camera resolution in addition to HD and 2K in the previous version, advanced paperless animation capabilities, as well as Harmony Server, which allows multiple animators to work simultaneously on the same project.

The camera resolution is 8K and all the features of the previous versions are available. Price: € 123.75 per month, € 83.92 if paid annually.
Toon Boom Harmony focuses on quality, so the price for Advanced and Premium is high, especially considering the growth of the euro. Essentials is in an affordable price category, but, accordingly, provides fewer features, although this is enough for a beginner.
GIF animation
A couple of options for those whose work with animation is limited to creating GIFs.
Adobe Photoshop
Photoshop isn't designed for complex animated projects, but it makes it easy to work with frame-by-frame animation to create GIFs. To do this, select “Timeline” in the “Window” section on the top panel.
Adobe Photoshop allows you to create GIFs

Birthday animator in kindergarten
Technical support
You will need more powerful equipment than if the celebration was at home or in a small cafe. Don't forget that holidays usually take place in a large hall.
Column for animators and laptop
Even if you're just starting out, try to look respectable and presentable. This column helps me a lot. I especially like the fact that it has wheels, a telescopic handle, a built-in battery (i.e. I can work without electricity) The most popular animated dances, clapping, chants, etc., universal for most, are conveniently located on the laptop desktop programs.
On the right is the background to the ordered program. On the left - backgrounds for competitions
Animator with flash drive
This is a relic of the past. But it turns out some people still work that way. This is unprofessional and detrimental to the program and your image. While you are looking for the necessary melody, time passes and you lose the children's attention. If you come to a large audience with such equipment, it will be painful for you to remember it.
also do not recommend using the equipment of the customer or establishment. She can let you down at any moment . Not to mention the fact that the amplifier may have lived out its last days and died in your hands.....this is extremely unpleasant and also costly, because they will present you with a bill.
If you have a loud voice, great. But you also need to take care of your voice. I often use a voice amplifier . It is compact, inexpensive and not sold in regular stores, which arouses additional interest and respect from the public.
I bought it from Valery Morinov. You can easily find him among my friends on VK
Prizes
This is not “Fun Start”, there should be no winners and losers . Otherwise there will be tears, only negativity from children and adults from the holiday, and you will be declared guilty. And they will do the right thing.
Moreover, you should not give out prizes during the holiday. It's distracting to say the least, and you need to keep control of a large group of children ! If parents intend to reward their children, great. But do it after finishing the program. The prizes must be the same! It is very important. I repeat: there should be no losers. They may have run faster, but they clapped louder. As a result, well done to everyone.
Animator's props
The wonderful director Alexander Kashlakov is right:
An animator's best props are his hands! But I really love working with bright props! This is my weakness. In addition, it will remain in photographs , it will evoke pleasant memories and a desire to invite you again!
The coolest prop is the parachute . Games with a parachute are bright and spectacular. It helps to liberate modest children, calm naughty children, helps unite children, and creates a light breeze that is pleasantly refreshing after active games.
Animator image
In my opinion, people are too carried away by the images of popular cartoons
I get along just fine without them and am firmly convinced - Squirrel, Cat, Wise Owl, etc. closer, clearer and dearer to the baby! The main thing is that the suit should be bright, clean and not wrinkled! Open face. Make-up is minimal, or better without it at all.
Online services
For those who prefer to work online, there are special services.
Animaker
Online service for working with live-action video, 2D and 2.5D animation. You can choose ready-made characters or create your own, use video infographics and animated diagrams, a huge number of templates and stock photos and videos. The way it works is a simple drag-and-drop builder. 4K resolution, easy to resize for posting on social networks. Character voice acting with lip synchronization is available. Animaker also has a music library of tracks and sound effects.
Program for creating animation online
There are several tariffs. You can also work with a free subscription, but there are much fewer features: videos with a watermark and only five downloads per month, 10 GIF downloads, automatic video resizing is not available and much more, more restrictions compared to other plans.
Paid plans do not have a watermark, and the number of downloads varies - from five for Basic to unlimited for Enterprise. There is a background removal tool, version history available, children's characters, downloads in multiple formats, and much more. Tariffs vary according to features. Basic costs $10 per month, Starter costs $19, Pro costs $49, and special prices apply for Enterprise. On the website you can see a comparison table of tariffs to decide on the one that suits you.
The service is suitable for commercials and presentations, but its capabilities are not enough to fully work with complex animation.
Moovly
Another online service for creating animated videos and motion graphics. You can choose a ready-made template and customize it to suit your goals or create a project from scratch. Moovly is suitable for both large teams and solo workers. You can add various effects and voice-over, automatic subtitles with translation.
Moovly interface
Used for presentations, advertising and training videos. On paid plans, the video duration is unlimited, the quality is higher, there is no watermark, more downloads and other features are available. Pro costs $24.92 per month if paid for the entire year and $49 if paid for one month.
The Max tariff offers 50 downloads per month in high quality, screen and webcam recording, subtitles, auto-audio-to-subtitles and auto-translation, text-to-speech, color removal and priority support. Price: $49.92 per month if paid annually, $99 if paid monthly.
The Enterprise tariff is suitable for teams and associations, prices are negotiated individually. There are separate training tariffs, they are simpler and cheaper. Edu Pro costs $8.25 monthly if paid annually, and $24.95 if paid monthly. Edu Max prices are $20.75 and $49.95 respectively.
For its purposes this is a good service. However, users complain about the long video processing process and lack of prompt support responses when problems arise. You have to pay extra for additional functions, and in the end the price is, in my opinion, unreasonably high. However, the possibilities for creating animation are not so extensive, and the interface cannot be called particularly user-friendly. For the same money, you can choose a better option from those discussed above.
