Marking the shadow every hour shows kids, with their own eyes, how the sun seems to travel across the sky. Coming back on the hour – a few minutes each time, about 30 in total – is also great practice in reading the clock.

The steps are in the app

Step-by-step instructions, tips and an easier and a harder version are waiting in the Hopsa app – along with 300 more ideas matched to your kids’ ages.

Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
