  • Construction Paper
  • Flashlight

Steps

  • Step 1

    Use Crayola Scissors to cut out several circles of construction paper to fit into the front of your favorite flashlight. Add a paper handle to each circle if you wish.

  • Step 2

    Inside the circles, cut out fun shapes such as circles, stars, fish, or flowers. Cut out silly faces, zigzag and spiral patterns, and lots of holes on each shape.

  • Step 3

    In a darkened room, hold a shape in front of a flashlight. See what happens when you move shapes closer to and farther away from the light. Show shadow picture on the wall, on your hands, or wherever you like for interesting effects!
