Little Edisons – Shadows, Everybody Has One!

Little Edisons read the beloved book Moonbear’s Shadow by award-winning author Frank Asch and watch as the little bear tries to escape his shadow but can’t! Then participants break out their flashlights and look at their own shadow and discover what makes it shorter or longer. Then they act out Moonbear’s story, learn how the position of the sun overhead changes their shadow, and create a shadow to trace!
