We were playing with Dinos the other day, when D. discovered that if he put an object under the lampshade, with the light on it would create a shadow/profile of what he was holding. He ran and got me and asked me to play a game with him. I jumped on the chance to talk to him about light, and a bit about how shadows are caused. Due to his love of the solar system, we were able to also delve into a discussion about eclipses just a little bit, too!
He was having so much fun "hiding" the figurine for me, and have me "guess" which dinosaur was being shy...
It is a simple, quick little fun game that can really help a child learn about shadows, profiles, light and opacity vs. transparency. Go on... guess and see if YOU can guess what dinosaur is lurking in the shadows...
