How to play

Your child plays with a torch, a wall and objects on sticks to discover how shadows work: light travels in straight lines, solid things block it, and a shadow grows bigger as the object moves closer to the torch. Levels go from guessing which object made a shadow, to sliding objects to fill a shadow shape, testing glass, paper and cardboard to see which ones let light through, and moving the torch so a tree's shadow falls on the other side and shades a snail or a frog. There are no timers and no losing: mistakes get a gentle spoken hint, and every finished level adds a new puppet to a shadow puppet show.
