Interactives that require collaboration
I am working on an exhibit for a community center, and they want to promote collaboration. I am wondering if anyone here has or knows of interactives that require two people to operate (parent/child or two children), appropriate for children under 5. I'm looking for analog interactives, which we can recreate or purchase off-the-shelf. Thank you for your help with this!

However, we've seen so much damage to walls and screen in just a few days, we need to transition to a much lighter object that still creates a crisp image. Also, would love to see pictures of any other shadow puppet set ups!!
