#294: Make Shadow Puppets / Make Shadow Figures

Shine a light against a wall in a dark or dimly lit room. (You can use a flashlight or lamp.) Hold your hands or body between the light and the wall. You will create a shadow on the wall. See what shapes you can make by moving your body or hands/fingers. Can you make rabbit ears?



Make this a family activity: Put on a shadow play or make up a story to go with your shadows and what they are doing.

This activity promotes creativity and spatial awareness.
