Light and Dark
When something is exposed to light, what do we see? In this interactive lesson, children find out how shadows are created by light! Kids can use the light from a flashlight and their hands to form silly shapes, make animal shadow puppets and make quick stories for fun. It’s a fun way to teach kids about light and dark!
