Making shadow animals is a fun and easy way to amuse your children and even yourself. The next time the lights go off in a thunderstorm, just grab a flashlight, set it up so that it shines on a wall and bring some animals to life.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

    Make a Rabbit

  1. Step 1

    Bring your hand up between the flashlight and the wall.

  2. Step 2

    Make a loose fist with your fingers.

  3. Step 3

    Raise your index finger and middle finger in a peace sign to make the bunny ears.

  4. Step 4

    Make a mouth for the rabbit with your folded fingers. You will have to check the shadow figure to make sure you've got it right.

  5. Make a Dog

  6. Step 1

    Put your hands in prayer position and stand sideways.

  7. Step 2

    Separate your little fingers from the rest of the fingers and touch them together to form the bottom jaw of the dog.

  8. Step 3

    Bend your left pointer finger slightly to form the dog's eye.

  9. Step 4

    Make the dog's ears stand up by crossing your thumbs and pointing them upward.

  10. Make a Bird

  11. Step 1

    Hold your hands in front of your body, palms up.

  12. Step 2

    Cross one wrist over the over and hook your thumbs together.

  13. Step 3

    Point your thumbs up.

  14. Step 4

    Make the bird fly by keeping your fingers together and flapping your "wings."

  15. Make a Swan

  16. Step 1

    Roll up your sleeve as far as possible to create a smooth line.

  17. Step 2

    Hold up your arm so that it bends at the elbow. Your forearm should be straight and upright to make the swan's elegant neck.

  18. Step 3

    Bend your wrist to form the swan's head. Keep your fingers straight and group them to form a beak.

  19. Step 4

    Make feathers with the other hand. Place your other hand with fingers up against your upper arm.
