    Similar approach - you can use a kitchen colander and look at the shadow created in the holes - I got some cool pics of that last time. Also, look at reflection in water - fill a large feed bowl and let it settle so it is still and then watch it in there. I did that too and it was pretty good.

    Oh you reminded me of hobby horses. Broomstick and one of dad’s old socks stuffed with rags and ears and eyes stitched on. Lord knows why we found it such fun to gallop around on those things - but we did!
