Light & Shadow Theater – DIY Kit

Short Product Description

Create your own storytelling theater using light and shadows! Kids build a real shadow-play stage and bring characters to life while learning how light, opacity, and distance create different shadow effects.

• LED light module

• Pre-cut character silhouettes (animals & people)

How It Works

When the LED light shines on the black silhouettes:

• The shapes block light and cast sharp shadows on the PETG screen

• Moving the puppets closer or farther changes size and clarity

• Kids perform their own shadow stories and experiment with light direction, opacity, and contrast

A perfect way to explore the fundamentals of optics through creative play.
