This ancient form of theater exists in many forms, shadow puppetry being one of the simpler forms of puppet theater. Hand shadow puppets, shown here, is the art of creating shapes with your hands that represent characters or animals which can be used to tell a story to entertain an audience.

Shadow puppets are created when a figure is placed between a light source (lightbulb, flashlight, or camp fire) and a white screen or blank wall. These shadows can be created using your hands or you can create puppet figures with cardboard, paper, plastic or cloth. In the old days they used animal hides because they were both strong and flexible. The experienced puppeteer can make the shadow puppets appear to walk, dance and even fight on screen.

If you are really talented, you can accompany your shadow puppets with a story or character impressions to make it fun for the whole family. Make the best of a bad situation with some puppet theater.

Making shadow puppets is great fun! You and your child will be able to explore new ideas and create many different situations with the puppets you make.
