MAKE YOUR OWN DRAGON SHADOW PUPPET: RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 3 TO 6
MATERIALS
Black cardstock paper
Plain white paper
Pencil
Masking Tape
Scissors
Bamboo skewers (or chopsticks)
STEPS
1. Draw out in pencil your own design of a dragon, (or anything you want to be your shadow puppet).
2. Use scissors to cut out your drawing.
3. With a pencil, trace your drawing onto a black piece of paper.
4. Cut out your drawing from the black paper.
5. To create more surface area on the pointed end of the skewer, attach a piece of masking tape onto the end.
6. Now tape the skewer to the dragon. You now have your own shadow puppet!
7. Put on your own puppet show for all your friends! You can use a blank piece of paper and shine light behind it, while placing your shadow puppet in front of the light, to make your shadow puppets come to life!
