Abstract
This step-by-step video guide shows teachers and parents how make a shadow puppet using card, craft sticks and sticky tape.
This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. It is designed to support the delivery of key topics within design and technology and science. This resource focuses on making shadow puppets and developing supporting
knowledge about the relationship between light and shadow. Students can create their own shadow puppet theatre as an additional task to see their puppets really come to life!
Download the free activity sheets and supporting resources on our resource page for more detailed instructions, teachers notes and for optional extension work. These are free to download, and all the documents are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students’ and your schools’ needs.
