Shadows

Can you find your shadow? Let’s cast shadows inside and outside!

• Body- hand puppets, wave, move around
• Toys, like stuffed animals- cast shadows against paper or ground
• Nature- large branches, flowers, birds flying by

• Can you make your shadow small and big?
• Where is your shadow? Front, behind or next to?
• What makes light? Sun, moon, candles, light bulbs

Extension: chalk or crayon outline of shadow. Fill the outline with color, patterns, tape areas to make ‘stain glass’, simplify the body outline like the artist Kieth Haring- have fun, goofier the better
