Little Edisons – Shadows: Everybody Has One!

Join us to read Moonbear’s Shadow by Frank Asch and watch as Moonbear tries to escape it, but he can’t! Then we’ll break out the flashlights and look at our own shadows. What makes shadows shorter? What makes them longer? Learn that during winter, the sun is farther away and shadows will be longer. Then act out Moonbear’s story with your own storyboards and take home a tracing of the shadow of our hand.
