Maybe a shadow of an animal or an object? That&#x27;s exactly how a basic shadow puppet show works. But you can elevate that puppetry into a magical show by using papers, sticks, a light source, and tapping into your unbound imagination. You can make your own characters and stories come to life.Follow this guide from Art Jam&#x27;s Shadow Puppet Making! </p><div paraeid="{c86495fa-5ba2-492a-b818-d953408ca501}{34}" paraid="8"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="488" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/luprGsOj5OI" title="Shadow Puppet | Art Jam" width="651"></iframe> </div><div paraeid="{c86495fa-5ba2-492a-b818-d953408ca501}{41}" paraid="9"> </div><ol role="list" start="2">	<li aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-font="" data-leveltext="%1." data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-listid="1" role="listitem">	<div paraeid="{c86495fa-5ba2-492a-b818-d953408ca501}{45}" paraid="10"><strong>Watercolor Painting  </strong></div>	</li></ol><p paraeid="{c86495fa-5ba2-492a-b818-d953408ca501}{52}" paraid="11">Pigment is thicker than water.
