A few days ago we were at the book store and we saw some shadow puppets for sale. There were different characters made of black paper and mounted on a wooden stick. Honestly the first thing that came to my mind was to buy it for Ella's nighttime story, but then I thought it twice and said, hey! I can do these at home for no cost!
Fortunately I had some reeds from an old oil diffuser. Perfect for the shadow puppet's stick. They even still have some scent left.
I chose a dark color from my stock card papers to make the silhouette and then started drawing the characters.
Then I cut out the different characters and put a tape square on the back with the stick.
Against the light they're just like the shadow puppets from the store and Zerooo dollars spent!!! Yooho!
