The Light and Shadow Creators Nature Pack can be used both outdoors and indoors for children to view different shades of light. Use natural sunlight, torches, a light panel or overhead projector to cast images of the three shapes on to the floor. Children will love to learn how light sources cast shadows and how they differ with how close you hold the product to the light. They can also be used during storytelling, puppet shows or small world play. Combine with our Light and Shadow Creators Minibeasts set to increase the colour mixing opportunities!
