Make your own shadow screen and puppets following some simple instructions.

Let your imagination travel 20 million years ago! How would the Petrified Forest of Lesvos look like back then? How would a day in the forest be like?Which animals do you spot? How do they move? What are they doing? What are they eating? Write your very own script!

Invite your family and friends and put on your own show!
