From the desk of the product designer:

Behind the design

“Our first critter designs were held up on sticks. After trying them out in a play session, we realized that kids had to concentrate so hard on holding the sticks in the light, they didn’t have any attention left to focus on the shadows! So we came up with customizable critters that fit into slotted stands instead.”
