Loose parts, where is my shadow?

Loose Parts – Where is my shadow? 

Loose Parts – Where is my shadow? is an open-ended puzzle and construction set, handmade and 3D-printed in Belgium by Play This Way. Children from 3 years old match the correct shadow to the correct object, or build a cozy neighborhood together with houses and lanterns.

Match the shadow to the correct house or lantern, build your own neighborhood or village center, and play with light and dark. Also use the shadows to stamp in clay, kinetic sand or paint. Completely open-ended and endlessly combinable with other loose parts — perfect for themes such as houses & neighborhood, light & dark, Saint Nicholas, Christmas, winter or family.
