Shadow Puppets!

It's the 10th Day of Summer but it might as well have been Fall. Just look at the weather here in WA:

So much for hanging out at the beach.  :-(

I walked into the den, and flipped open my laptop. As it started up, I turned around and saw my kids.

"Why are my children laying on the stairs?! I thought they were playing. Are they really *that* bored?"

:-(

"This is terrible!" I thought to myself. I need to get the kids something to do! I logged onto the Lettering Delights website and clicked on the "It's-So-Freaking-Awesome-You-Must-Buy-It" Super Bundle (Fine, so it's really called the Simple Shapes Super Bundle. I just refuse to call it that.).

"There's got to be something in here that I can use to entertain the kids with!"

I scrolled down the page to glance at the 50-set bundle and decided to download 6 images from the Asia SVG set. I started up Make-the-Cut, and turned on the Silhouette. I grabbed some loose sheets of cardstock.

15 mins later...

Hello, Shadow!

Once upon a time, there were two Kokeshi Dolls....

At the temple, they saw a butterfly.....

The giant butterfly stole their magic fan!

Ahhh...it's the attack of the giant butterfly!

"Hooray! That was awesome, girls. Let's do it again!" :-)

Edit: Because we had even more fun tonight when it was dark, I'm adding in more pictures. These shadow puppets worked even better without a curtain! Bedtime stories will never be the same again.

Hello! I'm a Kokeshi Shadow. :-)

Look! There's a giant butterfly!

I'm a Butterfly Rider!

Me too!
