Nature For Kids brings you yet another quick and easy outdoor activity…shadow drawings!
Simply get some sidewalk chalk and have one child outline the shadow of another. Go exploring for about 30 minutes and then come back to do it again.
*Be sure to have the person being drawn stand in the exact same spot.
Once the two tracings are done compare the two. Do you see how the shadow moved? Talk about the sun and how when it moves across the sky the shadows change, becoming shorter in mid day and longer in the morning and evening.

Great idea, we should have done this at cousin camp! You can post anything we did there if you want, it’s ok with me. I just wish I had taken more pictures!!
