Whose shadow is this
Show your toddler the shadow of a familiar toy on the wall, and let them recognise it, choose the next one and watch the shadow grow.
Steps
- Shine the torch on the wall and wave your hand in the beam: “Look, the shadow’s waving.”

- a torch with a screwed-down battery cover
- a light-coloured wall
- a ball

Safety
Only you hold the torch with the screwed-down battery cover, and never shine it in anyone’s eyes.
Use only toys bigger than your toddler’s fist; if the half-light feels unsettling, open the curtains.
