A few good apps to great stop motion include

Stop Motion App that is free on Apple.

Animated on Photoshop > go to window > timeline > layers > select photo and select twinning

Can have more than 1 layer for movement

Stop motion can be fun to use to create math questions, literacy projects, uses important tech skills

Something to watch out for is camera shakes.
