Performing Skills
When kids put on a light and shadow show, they need to use their imagination and creativity to come up with their own storylines or change existing stories in some way so that they become uniquely theirs.
⠀
This process activates the child’s mental and creative resources, contributing to the development of performing skills!
⠀ -
Language and Literacy Development
Shadow puppets provide an essential link between learning and play which makes them wonderful teaching tools.
⠀
Little storytellers naturally invent stories, create settings, develop characters, and use expressive dialogue as they play, extending their imaginations further all the time.
⠀
Using the Papaton Shadow Theater playset helps kids build positive relationships, learn about other cultures, and make connections that are essential to understanding the world around them.

Enhances Creativity
Papaton Shadow Theater is a great tool for creative development, so much so that kids don't even realize they’re learning!
⠀
In coming up with a story for the characters and arranging the scenery, little ones are actively using their creative skills. And as children grow older, the stories become more complex with additional dramatic elements!
⠀
Moreover, as children use language to describe scenes or create dialogue, they are building vocabulary, exercising creativity and practicing social and emotional skills.
By the way, you can make your own shadow theater with your own hands. Well, if you want a beautiful and colorful ready-to-use shadow theater with a flashlight, scripts, and author's music, order Papaton Shadow Theater on our website. Just click here.
