Silhouette Picture
H. Marie explains how to make this shadow picture.

Materials Needed:
  • Paper
  • Flashlight
  • Pen, Pencil, or Marker
Instructions:
Tape a large piece of paper to the wall. Have the child stand or sit sideways next to the paper. Darken the room and shine the flashlight on them so their profile is shadowed on the paper. Trace the shadow.

Cut out the profile and mount it on contrasting piece of paper.

This looks great with the profile cut out of black paper and mounted on white paper or vice versa.
