Shadow Puppets

Shadow puppets are very simple and are often shapes cut out of thin card which are animated by sticks. Moving the puppets towards and away from a light source can create the illusion of size and coloured cellophane can add colour. This workshop will show you how to make and manipulate your own shadow puppets, devise stories, rehearse them into plays and produce your own shadow puppet performances.

Project suitable for:
ks2 (8 - 11), ks3 (11 - 14), ks4 (14 - 16), teenage, young adult
