What's the best age to teach stroke order?

Ages 5-7 is the golden period for stroke order training. Before age 5, focus on character recognition and basic motor skills. After age 7, incorrect habits may already be ingrained.

Are stroke order animations better than static diagrams?

Much better. Animated demonstrations show the direction and flow of each stroke, which is easier for children to remember and replicate. The Chinese Character Worksheet Generator at appjkc.com includes animations for 9000+ characters.
