LEGO Shadow Puppet Stage

LEGO Puppets and Props

Here is LEGO's instruction video for "how to" build a LEGO Puppet Shadow Theater with an iPhone holder so that your "flashlight" feature on your phone creates the back-light.

Ages 4 to 9 (?)

Tips:

  • Build a second 'holder' for a second phone out front to videotape the presentation!  (The first phone is to provide back-light for the shadow drama). 
  • Be sure your paper is thin. Some copy paper is too thick and will block too much light.
  • Turn off the lights so the shadows really show up on the paper screen.
  • Let pairs of children "put on" and narrate their own version of the story. Record each.
  • Be sure you have your phone cord with you. The flashlight feature drains the battery.
  • Replay the video from your iPhone to a TV by plugging your phone into an adapter that is plugged into your TV's HDMI port. (Lightning plug to HDMI if you have an iPhone.)
