Method

Draw puppet outlines on paper.

Have children decorate and colour the puppets.

Cut out the puppets, and sticky tape a straw to each one.

Give to children, show them how to move the puppet near a wall, with light behind them by using a torch or natural lighting.

Watch the shadow puppets move and interact with each other.

Try telling a story and have your children use the puppets to act it out. Then ask them to make up a story of their own.
