Shadow Puppet Show Kids Activity

Puppet shows are a fun treat for kids to see. This puppet show has a fun twist to the original puppet shows. This show can be done by the children or by an adult for the children to watch.

Directions for Shadow Puppet Show

Put a sheet or light blanket over a table.
Get a Flashlight and bring it under the table.
Bring different toys such as, stuffed animals, dolls, cars, dinosaurs or anything else you can make a story with.
Either make up a story, or use a storybook that you have to tell a story.

While telling the story hold the toy up in front of the flash light while you are under the table, so the kids can see the shadow of the toy from the other side.

Let the children experiment with the shadows to see how they change when you hold the object close to the flash light or far away from it.
