Investigate light, dark and shadows in your setting using the light box, torches, dark den and other equipment in our loans box.
Who could use this?
EYFS settings or Year 1 working on the Early Learning Goals could enhance their provision with our light, dark and shadows box. You could challenge the children in your setting to investigate, sort and trace items on the light box, use torches to make shadows in the dark den or create their own puppet show using the equipment provided.
