If your child is fascinated by shadows, this is a really cool activity to do with them especially now since we are starting to have more sunlight during the after school hours. "Let shadows be your child’s guide for this activity. In the morning (8 a.m.) or late afternoon (4 p.m.), place a table in a sunny spot where long shadows will be cast. Unroll paper (Easel Paper Roll) along one side of the table, and arrange a variety of objects along the paper’s edge. Have your child trace the shadows with markers."
