Robot and Alien Rabbits Shadow Puppets with Stand

On a mission of interplanetary goodwill, the mechanical man was more than a little surprised to be greeted by a spaceship filled with bunnies from the great beyond! Act out their lunar adventures between a light and your bedroom wall, and these shadow puppets will cast their magical moving images across your room. Better yet, put on a show for your family and friends! Hold your puppets between a light and a suspended white sheet, those seated on the other side of the screen will see the characters lurch into action.

Andrea Everman is a Chicago based architectural model maker – a job that not only makes her very cool (in our estimation!) it has also made her very adept with a laser cutter. Applying this tool to her original drawings allows Andrea to cut amazingly fine details into sturdy 4-ply mat board and vellum, creating fantastic shadow puppet characters with moving appendages.

Our robot pal is mounted on a bamboo stick and assembled with an ingenious wire mechanism that allows the arrow on his intricately designed chest gage to move wildly back and forth. His legs are jointed at the knees, his pincher hands are jointed at the wrists and thick vellum serves as his retro bubble helmet and cover for the gears on his chest. The newly redesigned wood base now has slotted grooves to hold the landscape pieces and the puppet sticks fit into drilled holes. When not in play these pals rest in their cratered landscape and parked space ship. Owly Shadow Puppets require gentle play and with their small parts we recommend them for ages 8 and up.
