Parents Turned Shadow Play With Their Daughter Into a Learning App
ShadowPuppets helps parents and children use a flashlight to make animals and other shapes as shadows on a wall. It teaches numbers, shapes, animals, and hand movements, then uses stories in a section to reinforce those ideas. The design encourages children to move and use their hands instead of only watching or tapping a screen.
The couple behind it developed the idea from shadow games they played at home with their daughter. It is their first project, was made for fun, and is mostly free so other families can enjoy it too.
