Instructions: This worksheet helps young children explore the concept of light and shadows. Engage with each activity to learn about how light works and where shadows come from. Use your senses to observe and describe what you see.

Counting Light Sources

Look at the pictures below. Count how many light sources you see. Light sources can be anything that gives off light like the sun or a lamp. Point to each one as you count them out loud. Write the total number in the box.

How many light sources did you count?

Matching Light to Shadows

Draw a line from each light source to its matching shadow. Think about what kind of shadow each light source might create. Use a crayon to draw your lines.

Tracing the Sun

Let's practice tracing the shape of the sun. Use your finger to trace the sun first, then use a yellow crayon to trace over the dotted lines. Try to stay on the lines as you trace.

Finding Shadows

Look at the objects below. Circle the ones that would make a shadow when light shines on them. Think about how light creates shadows when it is blocked by an object.
