Shapely Shadow Playgrounds

'Shadow Play' Inspires Imagination and Learning in Children

To me, i‘s always the simplest toys, such as Shadow Play, that are the best ones. If something is too literal, it takes away from a child’s learning process and imagination.

Shadow Play, designed by Richter Spielgeräte, is an outdoor playground installation that, well, plays with shadows. Using common shapes, colors and the ever-present sun, Shadow Play lets the children decide how best to interact with it.
