Have you ever seen your shadow? It’s like a friend that follows you everywhere! To see your shadow, you need a bright light, like the sun or a lamp. Let’s find out what shadows can do!
Look, there’s your shadow! It looks just like you. If you wave your hand, your shadow waves too. Isn’t that fun? Your shadow can do everything you do!
Can your shadow stand on one leg? Yes, it can! Can it dance? Of course, it can! Your shadow can even pretend to touch the sky. Try it and see!
Your shadow is very clever. It knows when you blow your nose or when you bend and stretch. If you touch your toes or stamp your feet, your shadow knows and does it too!
Your shadow loves to copy you. No matter if you’re as small as a mouse or as big as a house, your shadow will always follow along. It’s like a game of copycat!
Here are some fun things you can do with your shadow:
Shadows are amazing, aren’t they? Next time you’re outside on a sunny day, take a look at your shadow and see what fun things you can do together!
Shadow Size Experiment: Go outside on a sunny day and observe how your shadow changes throughout the day. In the morning, your shadow might be long, and at noon, it might be short. Try to draw your shadow on the ground with chalk at different times of the day. Can you guess why your shadow changes size?
Shadow Art: Gather some toys or objects and place them in front of a light source like a lamp or flashlight. Use a piece of paper to catch the shadow and trace it with a pencil. Color in your shadow drawings to create a shadow art gallery. What shapes do you see?
Shadow Detective: Become a shadow detective and find shadows in your home or outside. Look for shadows of trees, cars, or even your pet! Try to guess what is making the shadow before you see the object. How many different shadows can you find?
