THE SHADOW GAME

Kristýna Botnar

Annotation

3D printed animal figures consist of parts such as body, limbs, head, tail and wings, designed for shadow theatre. Children can create animal shadows in the dark, for example in bunkers, and combine the parts to create fantastic creatures, which stimulates their imagination and takes their mind off stress. The toy also has an educational element: children can discuss with adults their creations and their differences from real animals. The figures are made of fluorescent material, so they are visible even without light. This approach combines play therapy, creativity, learning and positive emotions to provide children with psychological support in crisis situations and help them cope with the trauma of war.
