We 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!!

Combination of storytelling and shadows… Combination of storytelling and shadows play! My kids loved it. We were reading and acting the characters, playing with voices, creating our own stories everyone had fun. We picked “The Snow Queen” story that was a great addition to our Elf from the Shelf tradition. There so many activities you can create with this book! Plus, it’s gadget free family bonding time. Good gift for coming holidays!

So much plastic and waste I was so excited about the books but so horrified by the yards of plastic they came wrapped in it ruined the experience. Each book was wrapped in three layers of bubble wrap and a separate plastic wrap sleeve. If you enjoy destroying our planet, this book is for you.

My dad purchased two of these for my… My dad purchased two of these for my kids. The cut outs are really cool and the concept is awesome. However, the way the cutouts fold out make it difficult for one parent to make the shadows and read at the same time. You need two hands for the cut out portion of the book alone. Additionally, though the cut outs are excellent, the stories are poorly written.

My 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.
