I love the idea of measuring your shadows, creating patterns (big and small), or even practicing fine motor skills! Cannot wait to try this with my kids!

Kids really do enjoy this and getting them outdoors helps tremendously to redirect their attention. Shadow play is a great way for children to make different patterns and have fun while getting them out of the classroom!

It has STEM all over it. Helps developmental skills in the fine and gross motor skills. As well learn about patterns such as tall and small and counting skills as well.

I love when kids can make shapes with their shadows.

Oh, Judy! I love this idea! You made me wish for a sunny day even more than I had already been needing one! Rainy week, day three! Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to try this with my gang!

Kids love this kind of pattern and really enjoy themselves outdoors.
