How It Works
Bring Shadow Puppet Stories to Life
Turn off the screens, dim the lights, and grab your imagination! With a Shadow Puppets Stories from Shaplaboo, your wall becomes a stage, your light becomes a spotlight, and your story? Pure magic. In just three simple steps, you and your little one can turn any room into a giggle-filled, glowing puppet show.

Pick a Shadow Puppet Story to Spotlight
Open a shadow puppet story and let the adventure begin! Each Shaplaboo page features cut-out puppets that double as characters, settings, and a whole lot of storytime sparkle. Whether it’s a fire-breathing squirrel (yep, that happened) or a starry fairyland, you’re setting the scene for a night of wonder.

Add Light and Let It Glow
Use a flashlight, phone light, or a nightlight that’s juuust right. Shine it through the page and—ta-da!—your wall transforms into a storytelling theater. (Bonus points if your child gasps. Ours did. Then immediately requested a curtain call.)

Tell It, Twist It, Make It Your Own
Read aloud as the shadows come to life—and don’t hold back! Try your silliest voices, your spookiest sound effects, or let your kiddo take the reins and rewrite the ending. With Shaplaboo’s stories, the magic isn’t just in the words—it’s in the way you bring them to life.

What Make Shaplaboo's Shadow Puppets Special?
FAQs—AKA: Frequently Asked Fairy-Tale-Flashlight Questions
Do I Need a Special Light for a Shadow Puppets Stories?
Nope! Your Shadow Puppets Stories works with just about any trusty light source—flashlight, phone light, or that slightly-too-bright lamp on the nightstand. Just aim it behind the page and boom: shadows appear like magic! (Tip: a single light source works best for crisp silhouettes.) And yes, it works beautifully with fairy tale books for kids too—Cinderella in shadows? A whole new level of wow.
Do the Books Include Stories, or Can I Make Up My Own?
Oh, you can absolutely do both! Every Shaplaboo book comes with a story to get things rolling, but the real magic happens when you take over. Add your own twist. Make the villain a cupcake. Turn the knight into a jellyfish. Shadow puppets are made for playful plots, surprise endings, and wild imagination.
Can Shadow Puppet Stories Help with Early Learning?
Yes, and in the sneakiest, most fun way possible. Shadow puppet stories build listening skills, encourage creative thinking, and boost vocabulary like whoa. Your kid thinks they’re just playing with light and funny voices… but really? They’re learning narrative structure, dialogue, and storytelling confidence. It’s preschool meets puppet theater.
Can I Mix Puppets from Different Stories?
Absolutely! It’s part of the fun. Why not let the Big Bad Wolf crash Cinderella’s ball? Or send a fairy godmother into outer space? Mixing and matching characters across different stories is not just allowed—it’s encouraged. In our house, we call it “Once Upon a Multiverse.”
Are There Different Story Themes in Each Shadow Puppets Book?
Oh yes! Every Shadow Puppets Stories comes with its own unique vibe. From timeless fairy tales to spooky mysteries, grand adventures to gentle lullabies, there’s a story style for every mood and every little storyteller. One night it’s enchanted forests, the next it’s space bunnies. No rules, just light-up fun.
