I don't think we have ever shown the kids shadow animals. They use flashlights when they go on walks at night. They all have flashlights that they can wear on their head from the holidays and they get giddy when we remind them about their head gear.
One night they were eating a snack before bed and we showed them how to make animal shapes with the flashlights. It brought back fun memories of my childhood. I made all kinds of neat things when I was a child.
