Gather a light source, a flat wall or screen, and your hands or a puppet
Dim the room so the shadow is visible
Place the light behind or beside the puppet and aim it toward the wall
Keep the puppet between the light and the wall
Move the puppet closer to the light for a larger shadow
Move the puppet closer to the wall for a sharper shadow
Use your hands to form shapes like animals, birds, or faces
Add simple props like cardboard cutouts or sticks for puppet figures
Adjust the angle of your hands or puppet until the shadow looks clear
Practice different hand positions to create different shadow shapes
