GBWe came back for more We ordered shadowplay as Christmas gifts and my 4 year old and 1 year old both loved them. My son begged for more so we ordered another set. This time we ordered the companion puppets and he loves to work those as I light the normal story. I appreciate the written story too as it’s been a while since I heard some of these!!

GBGood gift I received the book as a gift for my son's birthday. It wasn't easy to figure it out at the beginning, but my child showed imagination and now every evening we fall asleep with Shadow play. Sometimes we fantasize and invent our own fairy tale with heroes. The child is happy and so am I, now if we are asked: "What do we want as a gift?" I know what my son wants. This will be a new book of Shadow play.

GBMy advice, get the personages The quality of the books and cut outs are wonderful. This is a family project/activity, not a bedtime read. Great for family game night or camp outs. It took multiple attempts in different settings to get the light, distance and height just right to display the shadow, and several sets of hands. The only light that we've found to work is the phone flashlight. We tried flashlights, lamps, camp lanterns. As the website says, a light with one bulb, no reflectors or lens works best. My 5 year old loves the shadows but the personages are her favorite.

GBMy daughter loves her Shadow Play book! The Cinderella story is truly perfect for my book-loving, princess-obsessed 4-year-old! It's very well made and brings so much magical creativity to the story. My daughter loves it and I bought one for each niece and nephew.

GBson loves them Unique experience and encourages imagination without a digital screen. He has listened to it so many times that he has memorized the reading audio, so he can read it out load.
