Shadow puppet theatreUse these templates to make shadow puppets, and watch how shadows are created when a source of light is blocked. 1. Ask a grown-up to help you cut out the templates and glue

each one onto plastic straws. Wait for the glue to dry.2. Stand in front of a dark corner, and hold the puppet in front

of a lit torch to cast a shadow on the wall. You can also design your own puppets – what stories will you tell?
