Shadows and stories

Shadows and stories

shadow puppet workshops with Creeping Toad



From classroom stories

To library adventures,

Museum mysteries

To enchanted gardens,

Join Creeping Toad to create some shadow puppet stories


Shadow puppet sessions with Creeping Toad offer a chance to play with light and shade, experiment with design and animation, colour and translucence…a workshop might lead to the beauty of forests playing across a classroom ceiling, a parade of historical characters or the delightful chaos of a flight of dragons



We can 

  • Cut silhouettes adding coloured sections and textures
  • Create lumpy monsters or delicate birds
  • Fashion small characters with moving arms or legs or wings
  • Think about buildings and windows, staircases and dungeons
  • Make whole landscapes that fit onto rotating platforms and throw shapes across a wall or ceiling


In a school or public events, workshops need 90 mins – 2 hours (1 class at a time in schools) – ideal for 2 sessions in a day and a final performance
