Illustrated are two major themes for the topic of ‘Journeys’:

• Space including planets, rocket ships and aliens.
• Underwater, with fish, seashells, mermaids and crabs.

These shadow puppets are just the right size for hands on experiential play.

All you need to use them effectively is a light source such as the white board or overhead projector , or simple hand held torches. As well as a white sheet or white board to project on. They are also strong enough to be used outside with natural light for outdoor provision.

Simple shadow puppet kits can be made for any theme or story, and are incredibly effective, particularly following the Reggio Emilia approach.
