Fun and Entertaining for All Ages!
This little book is a fantastic find! Hand Shadow Fun is filled with easy-to-follow illustrations that make learning shadow puppets simple and enjoyable. It’s a great way to entertain kids (and adults!) using just a flashlight and your hands. The drawings are clear, and the variety of shadow animals and figures keeps things interesting. My family has had so much fun trying out different hand shapes, and it’s been a hit during bedtime storytelling. Perfect for kids, parties, or anyone who loves classic, screen-free entertainment. Highly recommend!

Ideal para pasar un rato divertido haciendo sombras chinescas con los niños
Es un libro breve que te enseña a hacer 28 figuras con las manos. En una página viene una rima en inglés y, en la otra, una ilustración que te indica cómo hacer las sombras. Las posturas pueden parecer un poco difíciles al principio. Pero con un poco de práctica (poca), conseguirás hacerlas. A los niños les divierte mucho y os lo pasaréis muy bien. Una lástima que no esté traducido al castellano. Sería el regalo ideal para los niños.

Para pasar el rato. No es el libro que te llevas a una isla desierta
Una guía para proyectar figuras de animales y personajes. Son ilustraciones tipo dibujo que incluyen un breve texto en inglés alusivo. Son 28 figuras. La calidad de la impresión es regular tirando a mala en saturación como en sustrato. No es del todo ilustrativo la forma en que se acoplan las manos para generar las sombras. En muchos casos hay que ingeniárselas porque la perspectiva que da la ilustración no es clara. La verdad en Internet hay tutoriales más mejores pues.

fun stocking stuffer
just a fun little, inexpensive stocking stuffer. I remember making shadow creatures and stories on the wall at night with my sister. I hope the two sisters I am giving this to at Christmas have as much fun with it together as my sister and I had. Lots of neat hand patterns to make and talking creatures to make your own little shadow movies!
