How to Make Shadow Puppets
Shadow puppets (or shadow play) is a form of story telling that dates back to ancient times. While we're much more likely to switch on the telly for entertainment these days, there's something to be said for this long-lost art form.
Get creative with your kids and try to recreate these seven animals. Take it in turns to tell a story or work as a team. You'll need a lamp or flashlight to angle at your hands, a blank wall and your imagination.
Have fun!
