Here is a simple way of making shadow pictures: Place a candle on the
table and fix a piece of white paper on the wall at the same height
from the ground as the light is. Now place some non-transparent
object, as, for instance, a large book, between the candle and the
paper, and on one side of the table place a mirror so that it will
reflect the light of the candle on to the paper on the wall. If you
now put little cardboard figures between the candle and the mirror, a
shadow will be thrown on the white paper and you can move your figures
about just as you please.
