How to Use It (Tips & Steps)
Dim the lights so the flashlight’s beam feels more dramatic (if possible).
Give the child the worksheet and a flashlight.
Ask them to imagine where the flashlight is shining (“What do you think is shining in the beam?”).
Encourage drawing: what shapes, objects, or creatures appear.
If age appropriate, prompt writing: label what they see or write a short story.
Expand the activity by changing settings: flashlight in nature, indoors, outdoors, through different objects casting shadows.
Share and discuss: have kids show what they drew and tell a little about it.
This simple “What can your flashlight find?” worksheet is more than just a colouring page—it’s a doorway to imagination. Kids will love imagining new worlds, shadows, friends, or creatures revealed by the light. Grab your flashlight, let creativity shine, and see what magic appears!
