About this play
Using a flashlight or sunlight to cast shadows on the wall turns an ordinary room into a theatre of shapes. This activity sparks imagination, teaches light and dark concepts, and encourages storytelling through movement.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Dim the lights and shine a flashlight on a blank wall.
- Make simple hand shadows: a bird, a bunny, or a butterfly.
- Encourage your toddler to copy the shapes with their own hands.
