Animation with Flip Boom

One of the quickest, cheapest, easiest ways for kids to try out animation is the "FlipBoom Classic" animation software from ToonBoom (a Canadian software company know for its high-end professional animation products). For those children who can tackle a slightly more challenging application, the "Animation-ish" program is worth a look. Each of these is available as a full-featured demo (places a logo on the finished video as a limitation).

For an example see the animation made with this product (QuickTime format): Flip Boom Dancing Blob.mov
