Recently, our kindergarten class embarked on a captivating journey into the world of light.
What started as a few simple questions about light and shadows evolved into a multifaceted exploration.

To engage the children in the exploration of light, we got hands-on. One of the first activities involved creating shadow puppets. The children enthusiastically crafted their own puppets and, with the aid of a flashlight, were amazed to see their creations come to life on the wall.

Next, we added wooden blocks and transparent shapes to create an environment for our puppets.
