Making shadow pictures is a lot of fun. All you need is an electric light (without a shade) and a white bed sheet. To throw shadow pictures on the sheet you must have your hands between the light and the screen. And, of course, you must know the positions in which to place your hands and fingers in order to make interesting and convincing pictures on the screen. In the sketches given here you will see a number of shadows of animals. Any boy or girl can make them after a little practice. Once you have learned to make these various forms you will be able to move your fingers or thumbs so that the animals will seem alive. It is a LOT of fun to also imitate the sound of each animal as it parades across the screen.

Above are the pictures to help you make show animals.

Reusing Old Sheets - Just wanted to share an idea with you. I was at our local thrift shop to buy a sheet to re-cover the pads in our dogs cages and I bought a beautiful sheet for a $1.50 and find it's too nice to use in dog beds.
