Hand Shadow Fun (Dover Little Activity Books: Puzzles)

This little book is a fantastic find! Hand Shadow Fun is filled with easy-to-follow illustrations that make learning shadow puppets simple and enjoyable. It’s a great way to entertain kids (and adults!) using just a flashlight and your hands.The drawings are clear, and the variety of shadow animals and figures keeps things interesting. My family has had so much fun trying out different hand shapes, and it’s been a hit during bedtime storytelling. Perfect for kids, parties, or anyone who loves classic, screen-free entertainment. Highly recommend!

A lot of fun and inexpensive.

I purchased this as a Father’s Day gift from my toddler girls to their Daddy. My little preschoolers were in awe to see the images on the wall, which made Daddy’s day. Some of these were pretty tough to finagle the fingers just right, but overall these images are all what you’d expect to see in a shadow puppet book. There are 28 shadows included in this book. Each image also has a creative poem to go with them, which entertained both the kids and the adults. I knocked this down a star for presentation because this is a thin, black and white-paged book. There is no “curb appeal” to this product, but for the price you cannot go wrong. See my pictures for a couple examples of the inside of this book.

Good book with great hand shadow ideas. Might be a little hard for kids, but they'll have fun trying!

Bought a a gift fun was had by all

Sent to my son. My grandchildren love this book

was really cute

With so many electronic gadgets, computers, pc tablets, learning games & even cell phones, it seems old fashioned fun & games have gone by the wayside. This hand shadows book is fun & helps me prove that fun can be had without using batteries...well, I suppose your light source might be battery powered. The illustrations are easy to follow & the poems are simple, yet cute.These hand shadows were selected from Henry Bursill's, "Hand Shadows to be Thrown Upon the Wall" (1859) & "Hand Shadows: Second Series" (1860) with original verses by Frank Jacobs.These shadows are fun, the kids love them; the poems add even more interest and fun to my hand shadow 'shows'.I love this book, the kids love this book, everyone loves this book! Great Purchase!
