Hi Gert,
Out of interest I started to model an Earth Moon Sun system in a modeller and
quickly found that it not really easy to see what is happening when you use
proper scaling. For a five year old I assume that a non realistic model would
do.
Using a modeller you can show how the moon moves round the earth before
rendering. The modeller I used is Bishop3D and as it is in Beta it is free

OK I know that the Earth should be moving but it is just a demonstration of a
shadow :)
